I had never read anything by this author before but I really liked this. I admit at first I wasn’t a big fan of the writing style but once I let myself just enjoy the characters and the story line I couldn’t put this down. It was beautiful.
Bash was born into a family with old money and was used to having whatever and whoever he wanted but a terrible judgement made by his father sent him to the streets. He isn’t looking for a knight in shining armor to save him -- he’s just trying to survive the winter.
After losing his wife and child three years ago Louis is trying to regain his footing in the world and this Christmas seems like the perfect time to try and feel okay with being alone. While donating crabs to a local food pantry Louis quite literally runs into Bash...and it’s the beginning of something neither of them ever expected.
Their relationship isn’t easy. It takes awhile for Bash to trust Louis and realize that Louis truly does have a kind heart. Louis on the other hand struggles with not wanting Bash to feel like he has to repay him for the things he’s done for him. But, once these two start to just trust one another and let the feeling between them simmer into something more...it’s lovely.
This may not be a fairy tale but it’s a beautiful love story between two men who both have lost things and find one another in the process of climbing back to the top.
4.5 stars.
