This was an excellent Christmas Falls story! 

Leo and Nick were a lot of fun to read about. I felt Leo’s worries about no one wanting him, and Nick trying so hard to come to terms with not just moving on as a widower but moving on with a man. What I did like, is that even though Nick already knew he was bisexual, because he met his wife so young he never had the chance to explore that side of himself so it felt like a biawakening a little. Nick’s emotional journey on choosing to love someone new after loss isn’t too angsty at all (this is a happy Christmas story after all) but it did feel realistic. The absolutely terrible dates poor Leo went on were hilarious, that poor man! This was a gem in season 2 of Christmas Falls. 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
