Try To Remember: A Small Town City Holiday Short Story (Small Town City Series) Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 20 ratings

Choosing to move to Occident to be with Erik wasn't a hard choice for Sam. He'd loved him nearly as soon as he saw him but spending time with Erik's friends is something Sam is still adjusting to.

It's Christmas, and time for Andy and Link's yearly party. Erik and Sam are going for the first time since Sam moved to town with him. He imagines a nice evening spent with new friends, but it soon turns out a little different.

Erik and all his friends look forward to the annual Christmas party at Andy and Link's house. Well, mostly they look forward to what they call The Stealing Game. It'll be a night of fun and games, and maybe a few pranks, but it'll also be filled with love and good friends. #holiday romance, #christmas short, #holiday fun

A holiday short, part of the Small Town City series

    Try to Remember by BL Maxwell is a holiday story set in their hypothetical small town Occident. While I don't normally start thinking about Christmas on a 90+ degree day in September, it was a fun read anyway. This is one of those stories where having read the other tales set in Occident is a must. The short story focuses on Erik and Sam, who star in Try to Forget. It gives the reader an update on their relationship in a holiday setting. I’m ambivalent about white elephant gift exchanges, but the author made it an entertaining event. I had no idea what the gift would be, but the title fits the gift well (not much of a spoiler). It’s always fun to see characters from previous books in a new setting. And I loved the ending to the story. I received a free ARC from the author and I am leaving this review voluntarily

    Nice Christmas gift exchange story. This is a spinoff of a series that I miss and had I known I would never had picked up. I was clueless.

    I loved this fun, short story, especially the "white elephant" style game. Loved the fun, but well-meant jokes and pranks. What a great bunch of friends to have!.

    Sam and Eric are joining their friends for a Christmas party where you don't know if the gift you get is a white elephant or not. I really enjoyed this book.
