Blurb:
When Daniel Berrisford reluctantly agrees to accompany his best friend Kate to the New Year’s Eve celebrations in London, he doesn’t expect to enjoy himself. Daniel is pleasantly surprised to see his first boyfriend, James Allison, among the merrymakers. The pair haven’t seen each other for four years, but as they talk and midnight approaches, it becomes clear the spark between them is still there. The New Year is a time for new beginnings, and for Daniel and James, it might be the time to give love another chance.
A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2014 Advent Calendar package “Celebrate!”.
Review:
This is a very cute, very short story that we are dropped into. Daniel and James are adorable and Kate is an awesome friend and everyone loves a happy ending, especially in a holiday story.
The two men dated and then drifted apart, pulled at by the stresses that often hurt relationships, but over the years they haven’t found anything to live up to that first love.
When they run into each other by accident on New Year’s Eve it seems like fate and they run with it.
The story is good, the characters are likable, but it suffers from being so short because connecting with them is hard.
It’s a sweet, short story that will leave you smiling and with just 28 pages, there really isn’t much more you can say without giving the whole thing away.
