BLURB: J.J. has always hated the holidays. Presents, decorations, the traditional family Christmas…It’s all his colleagues in the staffroom can talk about. J.J. avoids these conversations like the plague. He’d do anything to keep his co-workers from seeing the real J.J, the gay man who doesn’t want to be noticed. When he slips up and reveals that he is all alone with no plans for Christmas, the well-meaning ladies of his high school want to take him in for the holidays.

Oh hell….

Enter Coach Adam Sutton who comes to his rescue—and now J.J. is trapped by this hulk of a man who won’t take no for an answer. And he would have to be someone J.J finds attractive, wouldn’t he? Too bad he’s straight and J.J’s not about to step out of the shadows and make a move on him. He likes his arms where they are, thank you very much.

But Adam has a secret, one which is going to turn J.J’s world upside-down. Adam wants to give J.J. a Christmas to remember, but as it turns out, both men’s lives are never going to be the same again…

REVIEW:      

This was a wonderful story about a guy who has been basically trying to stay under the radar while he gets his career as a history teacher going and works towards obtaining his PhD.  So far, so good, until one day when football coach, Adam, helps him out of a bind over what he’s doing for the holidays.

Adam is serious though and insists J.J. help him decorate his home.  J.J. enjoys himself more than expected, and all of the little things that annoyed him about Adam begin to slip away.

This is a really sweet tale, until things go to the next level about half way through, when the heat factor jumps right to the top.

I loved Adam’s family and how Adam was able to give J.J. some of what he missed about the holidays growing up.  The only areas I didn’t love were not knowing how things would turn out when the guys went back to work at the school, and the insta-love, which I don’t generally enjoy in anything I read.  Even though it has been longer for Adam, these guys were really only together for a week, so that felt really rushed.  But, that aside, this was a quick, easy to read, enjoyable holiday story that I would gladly recommend to those looking for a little something to put you into the holiday spirit.
