SERIES: Sleigh Ride (2015 Advent Calendar)
AUTHOR: Brandon Witt
PUBLISHER: Dreamspinner Press
BLURB:
Paxton Peterson’s favorite day of the year is his annual Gay Boy Christmas dinner. He’s checked and double-checked his to-do list, because nothing stresses him out like the unexpected. Confident everything will run smoothly, Paxton embarks on his yearly snowshoed hike through the Rocky Mountains near his home. His perfectly planned evening is cut short by Logan Charles’s careless enjoyment of his brother’s snowmobile, and Paxton is stranded in the woods. It’s the worst thing that could’ve possibly happened to him—or maybe the best.
A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2015 Advent Calendar package “Sleigh Ride”.
REVIEW:
Awww… What a sweet little story! I wasn’t sure if I wanted to read the advent calendar stories this year, last years were not good and I was a little suspicious of this years. But that suspicion was unwarranted! The two I have read for review have been good, and the few others I’ve read have been as well. Yeah!
So this is just a little tiny taste of a romantic story, it’s very short at only 25 pages, and yes I do wish it was longer. Paxton and Logan meet in the snowy woods as Logan nearly runs Paxton down on a snow mobile. They are both attracted to the other, even though Paxton thinks Logan is a ten, while he is only a five! Logan doesn’t seem to have the same issue though, and a little something happens…
Even with such a short story Brandon has created two interesting characters, and given them a great beginning. I’m not complaining because it’s too short, I get that it’s for the advent calendar and meant to be that way, but it was so sweet! There is some humor as well, and a perfect ending. I liked it just fine!
