Rating: 4 stars out of 5
Matthew Blick is almost thirty years old, and he hates the thought of another holiday alone. He has become a bit of a wet blanket when Christmas rolls around every year. So much so that even his five-year-old niece, Hannah, knows something needs to change. She asks the department store Santa to bring her uncle a man to love, and when Santa sees her uncle, he formulates a plan to set that possibility in motion.
Santa shows up at Matthew’s house and at first Matthew can’t place him, but then the memories of his first kiss flood his mind and he is shocked to find that Santa is the man he has carried a torch for since high school. Will this twist of fate help Matthew change his view on the holidays? Only a kiss can tell.
This was such a sweet story. Matthew was hurt badly by his college boyfriend and since he hasn’t felt the Christmas spirit since. He can’t help but keep thinking of Santa from the store and how much his eyes called to him.
These characters are so sweet, both having thought about the other for years without being able to find out who the other was. Them unexpectedly meeting like this is really one of those meant to be things and gives them both a chance for the love they have always wanted. This is one of those stories that has a nice HFN ending, but it would have been great to see a glimpse of their future.
Cover art by Paul Richmond is the collection cover, still wonderful.
