BLURB:
George Hunt is certain that spending time with his boyfriend’s family over the holidays will be a disaster. How can it not? For starters, he knows nothing about families, never having had one, as for the rest…talk about pressure. What if he messes up, says the wrong thing, and ends up losing the most important person in his life? Dr. Kurt Butler is his miracle; George can’t afford any missteps. But if he’s careful and does everything right, perhaps they’ll see his good qualities instead of the lethal ones.
Sometimes, though, fate lets you put your best foot forward, and George gets to show off how handy he is to have around when bullets start flying. If he can keep everyone alive long enough to do some wintering, maybe he’ll discover that a family is something worth having after all.
REVIEW:
Well well well. As I should have anticipated, George’s “meet the family” holiday trip turns out to be a whole lot more 😉
Nearly two years into their relationship, George Hunt returns from an operation that had it’s problem and flies in to meet his boyfriend Dr. Kurt Butler and his family – sister, Tomasin, BIL Brad and their two sons. George is more than tired and hungry and when he arrives at the destination, Kurt and his sister and brother-in-law are there. UGH! George needs time and sleep and food, but he makes nice. Until they drive up to Kurt’s sister’s house and there are suspicious vehicles there. George smells trouble right away and deals with it. Too bad there is a LOT more going on here than meets the eye 😉
I’m not going to spoil the story here, so you’ll have to get it. Let’s just say that George’s “particular set of skills” comes in very handy. I LOVED George and Kurt here. Also the kids are great. George’s friends come through.
The audio of this story is once again fabulous. I’m a total sucker for Declan Winters as a narrator. He does a great job with the tension and tenderness of this story. Kurt and George are moving to the next level in strangely George-appropriate fashion. This is fast-paced and exciting and I was there for it. This is a great addition to this love story 🙂 Highly recommend.
