Will Oliver get the gift he’s hoping for this Christmas?

Oliver Walker’s Christmas is shaping up to be a quiet one. That is until hunky neighbour Ed Middleton moves in next door.
Attraction is instant, but Ed is only there temporarily and neither wants to start something with an expiration date.

As the festive season approaches, holiday cheer wraps around them, and giving in to temptation is inevitable. But Ed is still set on moving in the new year—a fresh start, miles away from those he’s closest to.

If Oliver doesn’t want to lose his heart, he’ll have to show Ed that home is wherever he wants it to be, and love is possible no matter what.




Annabelle Jacobs lives in the South West of England with three rowdy children, and two cats. An avid reader of fantasy herself for many years, Annabelle now spends her days writing her own stories. They're usually either fantasy or paranormal fiction, because she loves building worlds filled with magical creatures, and creating stories full of action and adventure. Her characters may have a tough time of it—fighting enemies and adversity—but they always find love in the end.

What a sweet story.

Having read a multitude of MM romance novels, I knew how it was going to end. However, for me it's not about knowing how it ends. That's not as important to me as the journey the characters undertake to get there.

This story is about following your heart regardless of what your brain is telling you to do.

Through Annabelle Jacobs' brilliant writing we see this slowly happening with Ed, subtly prompted by Oliver, no-so-subtly by Ed's sisters Ruth and Sarah.

How many times have we found ourselves in the same situation.

Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician, physicist, inventor and writer once said, "The heart has it's reasons which reason knows nothing of. We know the truth not only by reason, but by the heart."

This can easily be said of Ed, conflicted as he was regarding whether to stay in the bungalow his aunt left to him and his sisters, or to follow his original play to move to a new city.

 It is through these brilliantly-written, multi-faceted characters we vicariously learn the truth of Pascal's saying and apply it to our own lives. Follow your heart. Ed did and found more happiness with Oliver and he ever imagined.

5 out of 5 stars, a strong recommendation and a hope we see more of Ed, Oliver and their families.
