A Lion in Tails by Andrew Grey
4.0

Life can definitely hand out some surprises and for Larry that's just what's happened in the past few months. He's a financial advisor and when his sister was killed in a car accident, she left the raising of her son, Angus, to Larry. He is doing the best he can, but basically he feels like he hasn't got a clue most of the time. He doesn't know that most parents feel that way, and Larry just wants the very best for Angus. In preparation for Larry's annual Christmas party he holds at his home for friends and clients, Larry takes Angus to rent a tuxedo for the evening and they meet Joshua.

Angus responds to Joshua more than he has anyone else, except for Larry, since his mom died, so when Angus asks if Joshua can come to the party, of course Larry invites him. The fact that Larry finds Joshua attractive has nothing to do with wanting to see him again. The party is a hit, and the attraction between Larry and Joshua heats up when the guests leave. Can Larry figure out how to have a healthy relationship when he's been used in the past, and still have all the time he needs with Angus? Can Joshua help Larry to see how great they could be together and what a nice family they could all be?

This was a nice story that reminded me that family and love are way more important than gifts. A good one, Andrew!
