Since Hank Calder's four-year-old niece, Josie, came to live with him, his life has been plenty dramatic, thank you, and the last thing he needs is a swishy, flaming twinkie to complicate things. But when Justin, the daycare worker at his gym, offers to do something incredibly nice for Hank--and for Josie--Hank is forced to reconsider. Justin may be flamboyant in his speech and gestures, but his heart and kindness are as rock steady and dependable as anyone, even Hank, could ask for. Can Hank trust in his dramatic "turkey in the snow" to offer his heart the joy he and Josie have never known?… (more)

This is a great holiday romance; short, sweet, and with the perfect intricacy I've come to expect from Amy Lane.

It is also a beautiful take-down of the word "drama" as applied to human relationships. The story is beautiful in ways many shorter fiction writers don't quite achieve. This theme is why. But you don't need to pay it any attention. Just like enjoying a car without knowing how the thing works, it lends depth whether you recognize it or not.

Highly recommended. ( )

A quick, sweet holiday short.


THE STORY

The holidays are hectic for anyone, but Hank is particularly busy. A single guy raising his four year old niece, he has to accept help from Justin. Justin's adorableness is just too much for Hank, or maybe it's exactly what Hank really needs.

All in all an enjoyable story. Solid characters, realistic plot (if a little scrunched) and a nice message of hope.


THE CHARACTERS

I think you'll enjoy Hank's curmudgeon paired with Justin's twinkly drama queen-ness. The characters are vivid, likeable and sexy.

I thoroughly enjoyed Justin, while I wish Hank had actually been a bit more cranky, but maybe that's just me.


THE WRITING

This story could have been stretched out over a longer period of time to make it feel a little more realistic. There really wasn't any reason to crunch it into such a short time frame. Not a fail, but just could have been a little better that area. That, plus just one too many "ohmygah"'s kept if from being 3.5 stars.
