BLURB:

Can an unexpected miracle bring two very different men the answer to their heartfelt Christmas wishes? 

Middle aged college professor, Preston Page, has always wanted a family. After his first relationship resulted in bitter disappointment and betrayal, he put that to the side, however, and disappeared into his career. There was time, right? Maybe not. He’s just found out he’s in early manopause, and kids are a dream he’ll never realize now. Spiraling, Preston’s tight hold on his world unravels.

Cue an uncharacteristic drunk hook up in an alley with a sexy young stranger. Preston’s received a miracle, but he’s about to get another huge surprise. He might not only get a baby. Could he be getting a husband too?

Career University student, Joe Langford, just changed his major for the tenth time. He’s not interested in Journalism. He wasn’t interested in Physics or any of the other majors either. The truth is as long as he’s in school, his family trust will pay all his bills, and his parents won’t push him to get married to the guy they’ve arranged for him. There’s nothing more Joe wants than to have a family, not a career, but he’s not letting them choose his future for him. When Preston tells him about his unexpected situation, he doesn’t realize it, but Joe is going to do everything in his power to make this miracle work for both of them. Despite what his family thinks, he’s going to propose. They can do this together, make a family of their own, if Preston will agree to take a chance.

Will Joe be able to convince Preston to try again for their own happily ever after?

Includes an older man who’s in shock but happy, a younger dude who’s stoked to have a purpose finally, and a rich family that says hell no! Get ready for love, romance and enough holiday sweetness to cause cavities.

REVIEW:

I’m so glad I took a chance on this series. I am really enjoying these delightful novella. Three books/three authors/same characters in the Lakeview University universe.

Professor Preston Page, whom his friend and fellow professor Thomas Elder nicknamed Triple P, has been given some pretty devastating news, he has entered  Early Onset Manopause. Now his dream to final have a child of his own has been dashed. Going out and getting drunk seems like the best solution for the proper college professor. When the bartender calls for a ride for him the student that haunts his brain shows up and a quickie in the alley proves to be just the right medicine for the heartbroken professor. But little did he know that that draw he suspected was true and gorgeous and rich Joe Langford really is his fated mate and fated mating can prove a doctor wrong!

I loved Joe! He took the bull by the horns and accomplished exactly what needed to be done to prove to Preston that he was not only his fated mate but he was there for him for the long haul unlike his miserable ex. And I totally loved that he stood up to his miserable excuse of a father and then took him down. That man knew no boundaries and abused his power and control over his son. Thankfully his grandfather knew what his dad was like and protected Joe.

I have really enjoyed getting to know these professors and admire their friendship and devotion to each other. I can’t wait to read Robert’s story next.
