An Unexpected Gift: A Hot Dam Homes Christmas by Harper Robson
4.0
I loved that Case and Matt were an older couple, and, though they have very different personalities, both were so sweet, and as a couple, they were on fire!
Their story starts with an incredible one-night stand that stays in the minds of both men for a year, but with no contact information exchanged (not even last names), it's impossible for them to meet the man in their dreams.
Then Fate intervenes just before Christmas, and both are stranded at the same mountain cabin. They soon realize that the passion they experienced a year ago is very much alive, and their mountain stay becomes a wonderful breakaway and chance to really get to know each other.
The heat and chemistry these two have is incredible, and it was great to see how the two men allow each other to be vulnerable enough to explore each other with such passion and abandon.
I really liked the relationship Matt had with his ex-wife; it was mature and healthy, and the fact that Matt was so open about going to therapy after was a great way of normalizing therapy and showing how healthy it can be for future relationships. The struggles the two had to make it work were also very realistic and normal—two people live in different cities but want to make it work. It happens to so many people every day and it was nice to see it reflected in a romance without any unnecessary drama.
I really enjoyed this feel-good Christmas novella; it was my first [a:Harper Robson|22284469|Harper Robson|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1646730554p2/22284469.jpg] book, but it definitely will not be my last.
