BLURB:

College friends Joon, Tae, and Sangsun parted ways after an aborted attempt at a threesome. Ten years later, life has carried them down very different paths, but Joon misses his friends and decides to invite them to his home in South Korea for Christmas. He believes they belong together, but convincing the others to defy tradition and try again will take faith, hope, and a lot of talking—especially since all three of them are still in the closet.

REVIEW:

This is wonderful little Advent story is just so short and sweet.

Joon, Tae and Sangsun were really good friends back in college and they’ve not seen each other in 10 years. This is the first time that they’ve seen each other and it’s Christmas time. There are feelings, strong feelings that have frightened and held on through the entire 10 years of separation. Joon is a schoolteacher, Tae is a soldier, and Sangsun is a businessman. Sangsun took over the family business and has been working and trying to live the life that’s required of him. Joon has lived a celibate life. Holding out for the two men who hold his heart. Tae has lived his life as a soldier and has hasty meetings with guys in the service.

This is a story of second chances. These men are content-ish with their lives, even knowing that there is something, well a couple of something’s missing in each of their lives. I really liked how these men decided to FINALLY take the chance to being together. It’s hard enough as just a gay couple, but as a ménage??

This sweet story had my heart melting as I watched these men finally acknowledge that they want each other. I love that this book gave 3 different men the second chance to find happiness and love.

I was really sad for the story to be over as with any good story…you want to know how it ends.
