My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Cormac “Mac” McCabe, Major League Baseball’s first openly gay MVP, seeks refuge with family in Seattle after heartbreak. His quiet Thanksgiving is shattered by a stalker, prompting his cousin to hire Eamon Price, a bodyguard burdened by past tragedy. As Eamon protects Mac, holiday lights, family warmth, and a Christmas ship cruise spark unexpected intimacy. But when danger escalates just before Christmas, both men must confront fear and vulnerability—discovering that love and courage are inseparable.
I loved this story where love, trust, and holiday magic transformed fear into courage and protection into intimacy. I loved the way that found family and belonging were shown via Mac’s cousins, and the warmth of family gatherings emphasises the theme of chosen and biological family as safe havens. I also liked that even though Eamon was initially an outsider, he found belonging through trust and intimacy, reinforcing the idea that love creates new forms of family. The mystery of the stalker and the way that was woven into the story was great for the danger and drama, which ramped up as the story progressed, drawing the two men closer together. The emotions and feelings were big and easy to feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.
