Blame It On The Mistletoe Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 1,135 ratings

When physics grad student Fielding Monroe and skirt-chaser and football player Mick Colman become college housemates, they’re both in for a whole new education. Mick looks out for the absent-minded genius, and he helps Fielding clean up his appearance and discover all the silly pleasures his strict upbringing as a child prodigy denied him. They become best friends.

It’s all well and good until they run into a cheerleader who calls Mick the ‘best kisser on campus.’ Fielding has never been kissed, and he decides Mick and only Mick can teach him how it’s done. After all, the physics department’s Christmas party is coming up with its dreaded mistletoe. Fielding wants to impress his peers and look cool for once in his life. The thing about Fielding is, once he locks onto an idea, it’s almost impossible to get him to change his mind. And he just doesn't understand why his straight best friend would have a problem providing a little demonstration.

Mick knows kissing is a dangerous game. If he gives in, it would take a miracle for the thing not to turn into a disaster. Then again, if the kissing lessons get out of hand they can always blame it on the mistletoe.

    - - Absolutely adorable and heartwarming !! - - Mick, 22, nutrition student, is working two jobs, and looking for roommates for his apartment. Dorm living wasn't for him, too noisy, and too much partying. He's spending the day screening people when a lady walks in and starts asking questions. He tries to tell her the answers and find a polite way to tell her it's for a male, then she says it's for her son, and rents both rooms, so he'll have a study place. Fielding, 20, is like a rocket scientist, a young genius, and pretty much a nerd, but he's renting both rooms, so they'll get the quiet they need to study. Mick takes the sweet nerd under his wing, teaches him normal stuff, they cook together, work out, watch movies, and he helps Fielding get a taste of life away from books. Fielding wants to learn to kiss, and wants Mick to teach him. This is not on Mick's list of things that sound like a good idea. This is funny, sweet, heartwarming, and totally enjoyable to read. The guys have a snowball fight, decorate for Christmas, and then the kiss....wow! After avoiding each other for a week after the sizzling kiss, they try again, but neither wants to stop. They are spectacular together, yummy sexiness, but shy the next day, and avoid each other for a week. Fielding's Dad shows up and talks with Mick.
    You'll love the turn of events. Awesome characters, and a great story !
    I recommend it ! ENJOY !!! :)

    This was my first M/M book and I really enjoyed it. It was a sweet romance with a fun Christmas theme and I found it both believable and entertaining.

    The book centers around the relationship between Mick and Fielding. Mick has been a football player and a ladies man but decides to quit football and take his studies more seriously. When he ends up with Fielding as a roommate they become best friends. Mick takes his genius roommate under his wing and the two connect and hang out together all the time. Fielding is not only a genius but he has been sheltered most of his life. Mick has a very nurturing side that is fully evident in his relationship with Fielding.

    When Fielding decides he wants to learn how to kiss he turns to Mick which faces him to face his bisexual tendencies.

    I loved the relationship between Mick and Fielding. Both characters were well developed and the relationship moved at the perfect pace. An entertaining, enjoyable read. This won't be my last Eli Easton book.

    This short book follows the GFY romance between a former college football player and his socially-awkward genius housemate.

    Mick is tired of the girl merry-go-round and meathead football teammates mucking up his studying. He's invested in getting his degree in fitness and nutrition at Cornell, and decides quitting the team and finding an off-campus house will be his best chance at keeping his eyes on the prize. It means working two-jobs and having a housemate (or two) but that's the price of success.

    Fielding is a 19 y/o physics prodigy. Actually he's a prodigy at everything, except, perhaps, taking care of his physical, social or emotional needs. He spent his life homeschooled, but was eager to GO to grad school--that's right, he's getting his PhD at 19. Fielding has a smother-mother and an absentee dad and decides living with Mick is absolutely the best idea he's had yet. With dad's money to burn he takes both spare bedrooms in Mick's rental house, with the added bonus that Mick will cook for them if Fielding's daddy buys the groceries.

    Over the course of a semester of living together, Mick and Fielding become very close friends. Mick has helped Fielding break out of his cloistered shell--teaching him to exercise, eat healthy foods, and update his wardrobe. They spend hours watching the movies Fielding had never had access to, and discussing any and everything imaginable in their spare time.

    And that includes Fielding's fears over an obnoxious girl in his physics classes. According to Fielding she's a "virgin killer" and she's determined to kiss Fielding under the mistletoe at the department Christmas party. Thing is, Fielding's never kissed anyone. And he's mortified that he'll be exposed as a novice in front of all his professors and peers, so he begs Mick to teach him how to kiss.

    And, Mick freaks out.

    As Mick soon learns, his fear of being "gay" is pretty much unfounded. Because, when it comes to Fielding, he's found someone he can't live without. The story is told from Mick POV, and he's about as conflicted as a 20 y/o het male can be--when it comes to recognizing an unwelcome attraction to another male. It's a short, sweet read with plenty of feels and a great HEA resolution.

    I'm not kidding when I say that this is one of the best books I've read. It is absolutely my favourite Christmas book. Fielding is a wonderful character - despite being a genius, he is so naive in the ways of the world, and wants to experience everything. Mick, his roommate is a perfect foil for Fielding, and they become good friends. Stuff happens and Fielding wants Mick to teach him to kiss, Mick is having none of it. Mick was so protective and caring of Fielding, it was obvious that eventually he was going to fall. I loved the whole story, hurt Fielding was so dejected, poor Mick was totally confused and bewildered. Fielding's dad was a real character and knew his son well. A must read, also there's a free follow-up on Ms Easton's site that concludes everything nicely. Oh, by the way, the audio version of this book is also worth listening to.

    I thought this was such a cute and fun story! I love the premise. It's a very simple story with the plot basically in the title but it makes for a good story. It had some good characters with some depth and the chemistry was great. I would recommend this if someone wanted a light and fluffy book with a little heat.

    4.0 out of 5 stars キスの練習から恋に落ちちゃう二人の話。
    Reviewed in Japan on January 20, 2017
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    この本、実は1年半前に読んでいたもの。メインキャラの名前は忘れていたが内容は結構覚えていた。

    内容は、大学でハウスメイトになった二人のドタバタラブコメ、って感じ。フィールディングはアスペルガーでIQはすごく高いが社会性に乏しく人との付き合いに難あり。ミックはアメフトの選手で人気者でプレイボーイ(一応ノンケ)。そんな一見正反対の二人だが意外にも気が合って一緒に家で映画をみたり、勉強したりと親友という関係になる。ある日、チアリーダーの子が「ミックはこの大学で一番キスが上手い」と言っているのを聞いて、フィールディングはミックに「キスの練習に付き合ってほしい」と頼む。今度学部のクリスマスパーティがあり、会場にヤドリギがぶら下げてあって、そこで女子とキスをすることになるかもしれない、と。最初は断るミックだが、「みんなの前で恥をかきたくない」というフィールディングの気持ちに心が動かされ、キスの練習に付き合うことに。そのたった1回のキスが二人の運命を大きく変えるものだった…

    ちなみにこの本100ページ弱だが、生々しいセックスシーンはゼロ。キスした後、ミックはフィールディングが気になり始め、いつしか自分が恋をしていることに気が付いて告白すると、フィールディングはそのもっとずっと前からミックに惚れていて、キスの練習とはただの口実で、一度でいいからミックとキスしたかった、というフィールディングが健気で可愛かった。
    ノンケがたった1回のキスでゲイになっちゃったり、最後はプロポーズで終わったりと、本来ならあまり好きな展開ではないんだけど、それでも読後感は爽やかだった。二人のキャラが結構良かったのと、全体的にさらりとしていて無駄な部分が少なかったからかも。

    Mitch sucht einen ruhigen Mitbewohner für seine - für ihn allein - zu teure Studentenbude und findet in Fielding, den überbehüteten Physik-Überflieger den idealen Kumpel. Mitch, der ehemalige Football-Joxk, mögchte sich auf seine recht anspruchsvollen Studiengänge konzentrieren, anstelle ständig seine Sportkumpel und die Fän-Mädel bei sich rumhängen zu haben. Fielding braucht ebenfalls ungestörte Ruhe für seinen Postgraduate-Abschluss, andrerseits ist er sehr hintnnnach mit "Leben-ausprobieren", weil er als Hochbegabter bisher total unter der Fuchtel seiner Mutter stand.
    Mit Mitch kann er das alles ausprobieren, auch so unspektakuläre Dinge wie eine ordentliche Schneeballschlacht.
    Das alles ist super-anschaulich beschrieben, richtig atmosphärisch und witzig.
    Dann kommt Fielding auf die Idee, dass er der einen Kommilitonin, die es auf ihn als nächste "Eroberung" abgesehen hat, nicht die Genugtuung geben will, ein schlechter Küsser zu sein. Immerhin ist er so welt-unerfahren, dass er KEINERLEI Erfahrung in irgendeinem romantischen Gebiet hat. Und nachdem er mitbekommen hat, dass Mitch als bester Küsser des Campus gilt (er hat bisher nix anbrennen lassen, denn schließlich hatten mehr als genug Mädel Interesse an dem gutaussehenden Sportler), setzt er sich in den Kopf, dass Mitch ihm das Küssen beibringen muss. So wie er ihm zuvor beigebracht hat, sich nicht so altbacken anzuziehen, Sport zu machen und gesund zu essen (ein Studiengang von Mitch und seine Leidenschaft ist Ernährungswissenschaft). Aber Mitch ist alles andere als willig, Küssen ist ihm viel zu intim. Beide Freunde sind so stur in dem Punkt, dass die Freundschaft daran zu zerbrechen droht.
    Als Mitch die Tussi kennenlernt, der gegenüber Fielding nicht zu unerfahren begegnen möchte, knickt er ein.
    Aber wie er schon geahnt hat, wird aus dem Kuss-Unterricht mehr und aus der Freundschaft Liebe.

    Es beginnt so gut -die Autorin lässt sich Zeit, die beiden Charaktere einzuführen, besonders Mitch. Aber ab dem Kuss geht alles viel zu schnell. Da hätten fünfzig Seiten mehr gut getan! Außerdem find ich's wenig nachvollziehbar, wenn Anfang-Zwanziger sich gleich in "auf immer und ewig" binden müssen.
