His Until Christmas by Con Riley
4.5
I love returning to Con Riley’s atmospheric, Christmas-y versions of London and Kara-Enys for the holidays each year! Jack and Reece’s story was everything I’ve come to expect from these stories and more.
Jack is a PA-extraordinaire but finds himself in a predicament with his employment, namely that he can’t work for someone he has feelings for, something that’s planned to happen after the holidays, meaning Jack gave his notice to avoid being caught in a bad situation again. Rex, being the hilarious and adorable menace that he is, engineers things to bring Jack and the subject of his feelings, Reece, together for the holidays to show them how good they could be together and to keep Jack around.
Reece and Jack’s relationship has a foundation of friendship, but they’ve both wanted more for about as long as they’ve known each other. Being forced to work together leading up to Christmas gives them an opportunity to see how great they can be together and forces them to confront their feelings head on all while encouraging each other to grow, take responsibility for the changes they need to make and to love each other regardless of their employment situation.
I love all the ties back to Con Riley’s other stories and how each of these Christmas stories continues to grow her book universe a little more by connecting different characters. It’s always a treat to read these books and Jack and Reece’s story was no different. I already can’t wait for next year’s story!
