A Cop for Christmas by Jamie Fessenden
5.0
Can I Perform a Citizen's Arrest for Christmas Cuteness?
Opposites attract! A Cop for Christmas gave me a great feel for the holidays along with a deeper love for Jamie Fessenden's work than I already had---which is saying something. Mason is the kind of Everyman who appeals to me since I can relate to his liberal views, relaxed approach to life, and family values; Steve is the Good Cop who upholds the law because he believes in it. They're a weird mix on the surface since Mason has zero problems with his rainbow-haired brother sporting a poly relationship with a beautician girlfriend and chef boyfriend or showing up as the nude model for college Life Drawing classes and Steve---loves dogs and the law.
Honestly I expected to think Steve was boring. I found him very compassionate instead. He cares about his town, his neighbors, and loves his dog as if he's a child. The guy's really easy to love. He's even friends with -and basically the only support system for- his ex-boyfriend. The guy's close to sainthood in a lot of ways. I liked his gruffness because it humanized him.
Mason was easily the more interesting of the pair. His family reminds me a lot of my own: big, noisy, and incapable of understanding normal personal boundaries. I really enjoyed how he wound up getting "A Cop for Christmas" and I can easily see this being on my holiday re-read list in the future! Such a great feel-good story! I'm so glad this was in Kindle Unlimited so I could read it this holiday season!
