Henry and Marcus have decided to try to beat the weather home to Boston for Christmas Eve after their flight has been cancelled due to the impending storm. Unfortunately, they then end up on state roads rather than the interstate after Marcus gets frustrated with the traffic. Might I suggest Waze for your next trip boys??

I quite liked this novella. Loved that we didn't fall into labels. Marc is 28 and for all intents and purposes, is straight. Until he's not. I so appreciated that fact that we are not asked to wonder why, at 28, he's questioning his sexuality. So many books make that an issue as if there is a deadline by which you have to decide that you're gay, bi, whatever. Really liked the discovering the attraction between Henry and Marc against the backdrop of being stranded in a car in a blizzard (because Marc is a jerk!). Well written. Got some nice backstory on the two MCs which you don't often see in such a short book. Bit of sexy bits. Interesting HFN. Might we see more of Marc and Henry? I hope so.
