Seth Anderson thought he was a finalist in the Hot Jack cologne modeling contest for King’s Department Store, but Sandy King, upon reviewing Seth’s photo and resume, just wanted to jump him like a horny kangaroo. Seth quickly learns there is pain behind Sandy’s bravado and a sweet, lonely man behind the act. A holiday romance blossoms like the flowers on an Australian Christmas Bell. When Seth, used to a family dynamic without boundaries, oversteps by outing Sandy to his estranged grandmother, however, everything changes. Sandy is furious. He breaks things off with Seth and threatens to return to the US. As Christmas approaches, any chance at happily ever after seems as likely as a snowstorm in Sydney. It would take a miracle from above to set things right. Good thing ‘tis the season. A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2014 Advent Calendar package “Celebrate!”.
REVIEW:
This is a cute little Christmas story. Seth Anderson discovers he is a finalist in the “Hot Jack” cologne modeling contest for King’s Department Store. Only problem, he never entered. Turns out his parents entered for him. There must be some mistake, he is short, doesn’t have a lot of muscles, and walks funny from a stroke when he was nineteen. One thing he does have supposedly is a very big dongle, and it wasn’t affected at all by the stroke!
Sandy King, the head of the store, has called him in based on a photo from the previous Christmas. He doesn’t want Seth for the contest, he wants him for himself. Now he has to break the news to Seth.
This was a quick read, entertaining in a light Christmas story kind of way. One thing I particularly liked was the Australian wording. The story was full of dongles and giving him the gobby. I enjoyed the story!
