My rating: 4 of 5 stars
When cryptids came out as living among us, there was a settling in period, but now having a loch ness monster as your neighbour and a bigfoot as your security guard at work is just par for the course. Luckily for me, Dean happens to work with the sweetest, sexiest cephalopod in the entire building. Unfortunately for him, his people skills aren’t the greatest. When their harpy boss demands that Dean teach him how to interact with people. Teaching him all about the human holiday of Christmas while giving him important people skills, their lessons happen to look like dates. It’s embarrassing that Art's boss assigned someone to teach him people skills. It’s also hopeless. If learning how to interact with human beings was something anyone could learn in a class, he would have done so by now. But hanging out with Dean Miller isn’t so bad, even if Art's tentacles have a mind of their own and won’t stop touching him. He doesn’t mind his awkwardness the way other people do, and he doesn’t mind his tentacles either. His easy acceptance makes Art want things that he's not used to wanting - wonder what he would do if he asked for more than people lessons?
This was a sweet story as Dean tried to teach shy Art how to interact with people and how their dates started to mean much more. I enjoyed the Christmas theme of the story and how their affection for each other developed. The cultural differences were quite funny sometimes. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.
