His Holiday Crush by Cari Z

5.0

I was not expecting such an emotional, sweet, swoon-worthy MM holiday romance!

Complete honesty? I LOVED this book. Max was a NYC lawyer with a big promotion in his near future. Dominic was an ex-military turned small-town police officer fighting his PTSD while helping out his brother, Hal, with his 2 girls after their mother ran off. Hal, who also happens to be Max's best friend (and their bromance was adorable).

When Hal convinces Max to return home after 10 years, he ends up running in to a snowbank. When a sexy-as-sin officer comes to the rescue, imagine his surprise finding out it's his best friend's younger brother. They had a spark from the first moment and while it was steamy, it was also SUPER sweet. I seriously loved their interactions, their sexy times, and their innocent, yet deeply developed love in such a short time frame.

What follows is a tale of discovery, truth, festive spirit, forgiveness, and acceptance. With an amazing supporting cast from the diner to the police force, two adorable girls, a well-behaved dog, a house in need of repair, and some insane sexual tension, this book was a PERFECT holiday escape.
