Blurb
After years alone, Daniel Diaz is finally ready to shake up his orderly, solitary life. He's about to leave for a cozy Christmas getaway with his new man when he gets the call from the ER that his former stepbrother has been admitted with a concussion and a broken hand-and Cole put him down as his emergency contact. Why the hell would he do that? Daniel barely knows the guy. After all, their parents' marriage lasted less than a year and it was a decade ago!
But Cole has no one else to look after him and strict doctor's orders not to be left alone. So fine, Daniel will bring him along on vacation to make sure he doesn't starve or fall into a coma. This is supposed to be Daniel's chance to explore romance again after locking down his feelings for too long-except it turns out his could-be boyfriend is more interested in partying and being an obnoxious jerk. Daniel sends him packing, and now he's stuck with a virtual stranger in an isolated mountain cabin.
Cole Smith crushed hard on cranky Daniel when they were teenagers. Alone with him in a romantic winter wonderland, those feelings roar back to life. Glimpsing the caring, vulnerable man under Daniel's frosty shell, he yearns to get closer. Christmas is a time for surprises, and Daniel and Cole discover a scorching connection that just might melt their hearts.
This fluffy gay Christmas romance from Keira Andrews features former stepbrothers reconnecting as adults, sexy hot-tub shenanigans, cuddling by the fire, and of course a happy ending.
Carra's Review
Even though this story is novella length, it really feels like you’re getting a good-sized novel-length story. And even with the glut of holiday romances that are out there, In Case of Emergency still comes across as a unique story, keeping holiday romance fresh while still giving readers characters they will wind up caring about. That’s what happened for me, and I just loved Daniel and Cole’s story.
I really identified with Daniel’s character, from his work habits/ethic to his small idiosyncrasies (such as not liking texting shorthand)…though not with his need to please his partner to his own detriment. I thought Cole was adorable, and I could definitely identify with his clumsiness. He was so sweet, and knew just what to do or say to help Daniel be at ease—even when Daniel’s attempt at a boyfriend in Justin went wildly astray.
The story can kind of be split into two halves—the first with others at the chalet with Daniel and Cole, the second with just the two of them alone. Sexual tension abounds between them, at first primarily on Cole’s part and later for both of them. When they finally give in? Whew! Hot and steamy with chemistry galore!
In Case of Emergency is a distinctive story in the holiday romance genre, and Daniel and Cole get 4.5 stars from me—I just loved the two of them together. I highly recommend this book to any M/M romance fan, and I know for me this one is getting added to my yearly holiday re-read rotation. This story is meant for readers 18+ for adult language and sexual content.
