My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Carter spends Christmas with his roommate’s family to avoid his own, only to be instantly drawn to Trevor’s older, very handsome brother, Noah. Noah feels the same spark but tries to ignore it—until a snowstorm traps them together and the chemistry finally boils over. A shy college student, a best friend’s older brother, and a snowy holiday setting make for a cosy, steamy match.
This novella was a sweet instalove Christmas story with plenty of warmth woven through every chapter. I really enjoyed the festive atmosphere and the way the entire Cooper family seemed determined to nudge Carter and Noah together at every opportunity. One of my favourite parts was how Noah’s mum immediately embraced Carter after learning his own family had rejected him for his sexuality — it added such heart to the story. Even with the twelve‑year age gap, which is never mentioned in the text, their connection feels natural as emotions and feelings build alongside the family dynamic. Overall, it’s a gentle, cosy holiday romance that blends sweetness, support, and a touch of Christmas magic. This was an MM story with mature content.
