I liked the other books in Garnet Run series but I fell in love with this one since the first pages.
It's the first LGBTQ+ Christmas book I read and the first featuring the relationship between a father and a daughter.
I think that romances always reflect the changes in our social behaviour and it was great reading one featuring a rainbow family, a doting gay father and a daughter.
Adam is a sensitive guy, still suffering after his former lover, Mason, preferred an easier life and left him and Gus, the child who considered him as a father.
Adam and Gus are hurt and Adam is doing his best to keep Gus happy.
Wes is a recluse, people thinks he must a vampire or occultist. Gus is able to get in touch with him and is attracted by the unusual pets like his tarantula.
We know that everything will work and everybody will be happy but you cannot help rooting for Adam&Wes and hoping that Gus will be able to overcome her trauma.
It's a Christmas story and it's the story of people overcoming their grief and being happy again.
We meet some of the Garnet Run series characters.
I had fun, laughed and was moved at times. It's poignant, festive and highly entertaining story.
Highly recommended.
