This story is part of a series and is best read in order; it is also a good idea to have also read the Finding Peace series as some references to events in that series are mentioned. George and Max are celebrating Christmas together with their families but problems arise from Courtney’s attitude, Max’s sister throws a spanner in the works with her about face towards George and it causes insecurities to rise in George. Now Max and his family try to get to the bottom of the problem while salvaging Christmas, and George confronts the past while out shopping… can George and Max have a happy Christmas or will events ruin their first Christmas as a couple?
First off this story isn’t for those who want a blissful happy story all the way through, there’s some tough issues to overcome and some soul searching involved before we get to the happy part and even that is bittersweet. Both George and Max are exactly as I remembered them with George still being awkward with people and Max with his harsh words when in a temper, they are a great couple and their love is very strong. And they need it as their relationship and love are tested to the extreme. All the characters are well portrayed in this story and it is a very angsty storyline, very angsty which really tears George up and frustrates everyone else.
There isn’t much more that I can say that wouldn’t give away the entire storyline and plot, all I can say is I hated Courtney for what she put George and Max through and then loathed her for putting her family through the terror they must have felt, she might have been a teenager but she was foul, I couldn’t find much sympathy for her even when she explained everything. And George oh George taking everything on for himself was heart-breaking to see, Max had the right idea and I can only say that I am glad he has George’s heart safely guarded. We do get to see some happy moments between George and Max and we see George put Joe (ex-boyfriend) firmly behind him, the sex between Max and George is hot and they truly are a well suited couple.
So if you love bittersweet Christmas’s, true love, a tough storyline, lots of angst, putting the past to rest, some danger and two men who are wonderful then this is the book for you.
