This started out with me not liking Julian too much because he was too grumpy, but with his past of hurt and trying to raise his kids as a single parent and seeing his jerk ex, I can understand why he was that way. Leo, however, was totally adorable right from the get go. When they finally get past the annoying "I don't want to like you" stage, they were adorable together. I liked how they came together and the fun Christmas spirit of the book. I do wish there was more of an HEA for these guys, though. It's too much HFN for me to love love love it. Hopefully we can get more of these guys in the near future. Their family and friends were awesome, so it would be great to see some of their stories, too.

Julian and Leo are so cute together, once they let go of their preconceptions of each other. Their original meeting might not have been ideal, but it kept them in each other's minds, so maybe that wasn't so bad.

I love the fact that Leo backed Julian up when his scuzzy ex came around and helped give Julian some much needed confidence. It was an excellent way to handle it.

Good book, good story. ( )
