A match as perfect as cold nights and cozy fireside heat.
Gentle giant Matt Haskell and urbane teacher Mikah Cerullo are as opposite as the Teton Mountains and downtown Manhattan.
Hardworking organic farmer Matt has little time to think about love, but when Mikah, a sexy and snarky New Yorker, arrives at his farm to buy a Christmas tree for the family’s Jackson Hole mansion, the attraction is immediate for both of them, and they agree to share a cozy cabin in the Idaho woods. The clock is ticking on their holiday fling, since Mikah is due to take a teaching position back in the city, but as the holiday magic envelops them, they wonder if their budding romance might withstand their differences.
REVIEW:
Well, folks, it’s that time of year. Time for people to start thinking of the holidays. Of Thanksgiving and Christmas. For the miracles of Christmas to hopefully come around again. And this is a perfect book for the holidays. A little angsty in some spots, but sweet and romantic and full of new love and hope.
Mikah was just wanting to wallow. Just be left alone and read or even mope in his room if he wanted to. But his sister, Elena, wouldn’t let up on him and now his step-mother wanted a real tree for Christmas. Which means they have to get out and go find a tree to chop or cut down. He doesn’t even know if he’s seen a chainsaw, much less work one. But they get to the farm and almost leave, thinking it was closed, when Mikah was tackled out of nowhere. By a huge and slobbery dog. When his owner reached down to help him up, Mikah was struck by the most beautiful blue eyes. Matt helped Mikah get into some dry clothes and warm up and when Mikah came to return them back the next day, he was so tongue tied, but he desperately wanted to ask Mikah out. Instead, they got busy with the trees and such and it took forever for them to have some quiet time. Which turned into a passionate makeout session before being busted by Matt’s brother. Lol. Little by little though, when time allowed, they spent time together, getting to know each other, meeting each other’s families and spending the holidays together. But feelings were getting grown fast and the day was fast approaching for Mikah to travel from Idaho to New York for a new teaching job. Both men are heartbroken. And it’s up to Mikah to decide what’s worth more: this teaching job, or possibly the man who he would love for the rest of his life.
Having bad breakups, both Matt and Mikah both were a little leery of jumping into something. But the chemistry and connection between the two of them made for some heavy petting sessions. The thing is, when breakups are that bad, fear and doubt overwhelm a lot. And both men were doubting themselves and what the other saw in them. Matt felt at one point Mikah was slumming, since his family was so rich. And Mikah felt like he wasn’t good enough for Matt. Both, however, were wrong. They needed each other and completed each other in ways no one else did. Matt brought a calm safety and peace to Mikah. And Mikah brought Matt out of his shell some and showed him he was worthy of love. They both showed that to each other. But sometimes we make the wrong decisions and it’s up to us to make them right. And it was a huge decision Mikah had to make. But most times, following your heart will lead you in the right way and steer you to a life you’ve dreamed of.
It’s such a sweet story between these two guys. Both shy and quiet in their way. Brooding, in a way, from both of them. It’s kind of funny how much alike they are, yet so different. But it’s the perfect book to curl up with, with maybe some hot cocoa and soft lights. And dream of a sweet and happy place.
