This was an enjoyable read. I really loved the characters, especially Dominic. He was so sweet and had been through a lot. He is recently divorced and finally out of the closet. Due to the way his father thought of and treated him he stayed in the closet and married a women he didn't love. His father sounds like a horrible person and so does his wife. It seems she was just in it for whatever she could get out of it. He's been hurt by it all and is very insecure because of it.

Then there's Reagan, who is just a lovely, thoughtful guy. He has been through a lot of relationships over the last 5 years and he believes they didn't work because there must be something wrong with him. But that was the time they first met each other. They have liked each other from the moment met 5 years a go when Reagan cleaned his chimney for the first time. But due to Dominic being married and him thinking he was straight he couldn't do anything.

The way Reagan learns the truth about it all is so funny. When he goes round on Christmas day to get some answers, sparks begin to fly. The sex scene is so sweet to begin with as Dominic is very insecure and Reagan helps him overcome it. Dominic says a few really funny lines during that scene. They story takes places over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. But due to having sort of know each other and wanting each other for 5 years it's not to unbelievable. If it was longer a lot more back story and after after Christmas would of made it even better. But it was a great read and I loved the epilogue.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A lovely, short and sweet Christmas-y story, with two frankly adorable MC finding their chance to happiness into each other.

The writing is really good and the whole thing reads itself in a go. Do yourself a favour, read this and warm your heart :)

A fun, flirty, filthy (literally) Christmas short story!
Reagan is a chimney sweep who does seem to get very involved in his job, my sweep doesn't get that dirty! He's fancied Dominic since he started cleaning his flue. Dominic has also been checking out Reagan. This year Dominic is divorced, Reagan has made an exception to work on Christmas Eve and all it needs is a bit of Christmas magic to get their sparks to flame!
