Fred and Ginger: A Christmas M/M Romantic Comedy Short Story Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 32 ratings

A sexy, funny, stand-alone M/M short Christmas story from author Isobel Starling.
Patisserie Chef Christopher Miller works for Big Boy Cupcakes, London’s only gay bakery. His boss had closed the bakery on the 23rd of December, and Chris was looking forward to some well needed time off, and Christmas ALONE. But then his boss calls him with a last minute order—the order of his dreams—to bake for his movie idol, actor Jason Beck.
Just as he is about to deliver the order, Chris’s dreams are turned upside down by an explosive, fateful meeting with Fred, an errant Chocolate Labrador. The dog’s owner turns out to be Robin Summers, a one night stand from months before...the man that Chris could not forget..

    An out of control half grown exuberant Labrador Retriever escaping his owner caused a disaster. A pastry chef Chris was asked by his boss of the Big Boy Bakery a huge favor on Christmas morning. Chris was prepared to say "No!", until an amazing incentive was dangled in front of him something he could not turn down. Something that actually made him eager to complete the labor intensive, but labor of love.

    What if you meet the one that got away and he has no recollection of you? What if his dog causes a major disaster? How do you get over your anger, annoyance, and disappointment? How about several pounds of sugar to go along with a pound of revenge?

    This was a humorous, sugary sweet, playful story full of raunchy baking treats. This was a fun story to read, especially during the Christmas holidays.

    Have you ever eaten a phallic-shaped cupcake?
    ME NEITHER!!! ;D
    Even the notion is ridiculous. So obscene! XD lol But it sure would taste good. Wouldn't it? ;)
    Unfortunately it was ruined by the alternating POV's (written in third person past tense), which was happening almost paragraph by paragraph without warning, and I had to go back a few sentences to find out where exactly the switch happened. This back and forth was confusing. But no one seems to mention it in their review, so maybe it was just me?

    Overall it was amusing and delightful, and I had fun.

    I love holiday books. This short story is sweet and cute and sexy. I enjoy food-centric stories and this one was fun, especially since parts of it reminded me of an event I have been too with various phallic shaped art in many mediums. The story is short, snippet in the lives of two men,and an exuberant Labrador. Bonus - the author includes a recipe at the end. So much fun.

    This was a really cute, funny, sexy story that was fast paced and delicious (if you know what I mean.) A Christmas delight to read and I would recommend it for laugh, giggles and the warmth of the holidays.

    Super fun Christmas romance set in London with erotic cupcakes!

    I really liked the second chance love story which isn't usually a favorite but it was a one time thing and bad timing so it work for me.

    The writing style was great. A part of me would love each of the men at the front of the house to set their own romances.

    What a cute story done with a cute accent. This is a sweet little tale of a cupcake debacle. It truly was fun. These two guys, Chris and Robin, end up making penis cupcakes for a famous actor. But Fredrick the dog has other ideas. There is romance and a wee bit of kitchen sex. A dog, cupcakes and a holiday afternoon. What more could you ask for.
    Well done.
