    What a sweet, charming story with a great message!

    Daniel is down on himself when he meets Cass, who gives Daniel the Christmas weekend of his life. Cass also leads Daniel to realize he deserves all he wants and to be the change he wants to have in his life.

    There is a magical Christmas twist that’s just perfect! If you love a good, sweet Christmas story, you’ll love this one!

    This was a fun and sweet story. I always love a little magic in my Christmas stories and this had just the right amount. Daniel has lost his Christmas spirit and is reluctantly going home to spend the holiday with his family. He meets Cass and cue the magic! Cass Lataun...is this a clever anagram? I'll never tell! I always a love a Daryl Banner book, and this is no exception.

    There's nothing to dislike about this novella. Truth be told, snuggle up on the sofa while it snows, enjoy a cup of hot cocoa, and read the evening away with Banner's tale in your hands (a boyfriend at your side will not hurt). This tale is 169 pages of pure fun with some gay-sexy mixed in. The title and blurb on the cover says it all. The tale is witty, charming, and just sweet. These two guys are wildly easy to fall for; pals you want to have around for Christmas. Cass is mysteriously studly-rough with his motorcycle, and Daniel is simply the guy next door, completely believable. When the two mix the holiday certainly becomes naughty, and romantic. A must-read at Christmas, or any time for a good laugh. I wouldn't mind reading another holiday tale by this author. Thanks, Banner.

    A perfect and quick holiday read filled with magic, chemistry, and the chaos of spending the holidays with your family. A fake boyfriend situation with some hilarious one liners that had me laughing out loud. The story itself happens over 3 to 4 days during Christmas and ends with an epilogue 15 years in the future. Daniel is feeling pretty invisible and insignificant when it comes to his family until Cass comes around. Cass is just the type of guy Daniel needs in his life. Cass provides Daniel with some new perspective. When Cass reveals a little something something about himself, I automatically knew the direction the author was going in and I loved it. It's a storyline/plot twist I haven't seen in awhile. This was just a great, fun, holiday read; however, I had one small issue was left unresolved in relation to Daniel's career.

    I’m in the middle of a “M/M 🎄❤️📖” binge and this so far, comes in 🥇place‼️ I have enjoyed all of them so far, primarily for the chemistry between the leads and the plausibility of the stories. So ironically, this one would definitely be the most fantastical of them, but in actuality, that made it even better.
    It has been 7 1/2 years since I lost my Husband of 17 years and I am cherishing the Christmas 🎄🎅 romance of these books, because even though we were married 🎩 🎩 at the very end of February, Christmas was always our favorite time of year and I still love it now (for the memories because otherwise it can be terribly sad 😢).
    If you believe in love 🥰 and believe in the “spirit of Christmas” (plus the passion of two men in love 👨‍❤️‍👨 👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨), then this 📖 is worth it‼️
    I’m even going back and reading 📖 it again before starting the next one (I’ve enjoyed it THAT much)…
