I really enjoyed this story – finding it both sweet and romantic. I loved that the pace of the story was slow, giving it a slightly older feel. This isn’t a “their eyes connected and they jumped into bed” style of story – so erotic readers looking for something with a ton of spice and sex might not find this suits their tastes. Personally, I enjoyed the gradual progression from acquaintances, to friends, to lovers. The emotional connection and strength of friendship between Tomy and Jason really helped sell this whole story to me and gave it a warmth that I just loved.
While the story does start (and end) around Christmas-time it’s not a strong theme throughout the whole story. The healing and slowly growing relationship between Tomy and Jason – along with their dance lessons and knitting lessons are really what’s central to the story. With a strong supporting cast of characters – predominantly Tomy’s family – this had very much the feel of a small-town romance style of story to me. I loved that the slower pace really let us get to know both Tomy and Jason’s characters and the slow burn between them was a pleasure to watch. When they finally did get together I found it hot and sexy, the chemistry intense and completely believable from all the groundwork that had been laid.
With vibrant and interesting characters, tons of chemistry and a really solid plotline this was a great story and one I really enjoyed. Recommended.
