Mr. Right Now

I feel like I should mention the fact that this novel has something to do with Christmas, holidays, whatever, but I don't really care for holidays. So there, I mentioned it.

This novel goes up in my 'great novels' list.

At first I was worried about where the plot was heading, I leaned to think Russ was rushing into something he was not ready for, but to my delight, and relief, I was proven wrong. You can't blame me though, because Esteban thought pretty much the same.

Russ and Esteban make a great pair, they are wonderful together and I liked both of them a lot. Extra points for actually talking things out.

The novel is way more entertaining than I was expecting, and I loved the display of a new and healthy relationship. It was fun watching Russ and Esteban slowly realize that their make believe relationship turned into something else and absolutely loved how mature they were about it.

And, oh yeah, it's steamy hot!

A sweet, quick read featuring a Russ, a hot ex-marine, and Esteban, a hot ex-actor, who are neighbors and pretend to be in a relationship when Russ is expected to introduce a significant other to his family on Thanksgiving the following day, but that dude was the worst and broke up with him the day before and left Russ in the lurch. It pretty much keeps to the few weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year's, but it is heavier on the relationship aspect than the holidays specifically. Some steam, not a ton. I liked Russ and Esteban, I could see why they were good together. And no 3rd act breakup unless you count one stalking back to his own house and the other following like half an hour later.
