Apparently I'm doing a [a:Keira Andrews 1366040 Keira Andrews https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1409084048p2/1366040.jpg] survey course or I had a bunch of her Holiday novellas in my library. Whichever. I'm not mad.I think what I like the most of about Ms. Andrews' books are her characters. Everyone is nice. I mean that as a compliment. Even the villains are pretty much just thoughtless boors as opposed to outright evil, in other words ordinary people. Sure the MCs, like everyone in love/lust, think each other utterly attractive but that's not how she describes them. They're normal, regular folks. Imagine that. Ten years-ago David and Cole were step-brothers when their parents married for a hot minute, they haven't seen or been in touch since. That's about to change. Big time.David is heading on a Holiday break in hopes of injecting some spontaneity to his somewhat rigid life and he does. Just not exactly in the manner he'd planned. Cole, whose studying for a Master's Degree in Ottawa, has broken his hand and, at David's mom's suggestion, has David listed as his In Case of Emergency person. David ends up taking Cole along on his long weekend getaway. That old nugget forced proximity ensues due to weather, the presence of others, and Cole's quasi invalid state due to his broken hand. Fun. Fun. Fun.Of the two David is the one who has growing up to do or more like letting go. On the bright side he isn't a wishy washy person. Once he clears it in his mind he's all in for Cole. For his part Cole never had any issues but hoping for David to notice him. I like how Keira Andrew didn't belabor the “they were brothers” plot, because really the weren't. A filial relationship never had a chance to blossom. I like that once they came together there were no bumps but the inconvenience of Cole's hand cast and the epilogue was super sweet in that it brought it all together. A HEA for these cuties is well on its way.
