Three Dates of Christmas Kindle Edition

by KC Burn (Author), Jay Aheer (Illustrator) Format: Kindle Edition

Dean Murphy hates Christmas a little more each year. His job as a pharmacy manager requires him to festoon his store with seasonal cheer, but his distaste for the lurid commercialism is only topped by his irritation with the syrupy sentimentalism. Being alone sucks, but he’s managed just fine without friends or family for years; why should December 25 be any different?

When the tattooed Tony Delvecchio walks into his store, Dean hopes that maybe Tony’s different. Maybe Tony’s the man who won’t be driven away by Dean’s Scrooge-like tendencies. But Tony loves the holiday season, and he challenges Dean to three dates. Three dates to change his mind about Christmas.

Despite knowing it will all end badly, Dean does the unthinkable. He agrees.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good cozy romance with mild angsty notes
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2017

On a snowy December evening, Tony runs into a Toronto pharmacy and instantly falls for the aloof manager, Dean. The heavily tattooed Tony fascinates clean-cut Dean, but his interest dips when Tony expresses enthusiasm for the holiday. Tony, a rehab nurse, turns Dean's distaste for Christmas into a hook - he asks Dean to give him three chances (ie, dates) to convince him of the magic of the season. Dean's interest in Tony overrides both his weariness of Christmas cheer and his habitual wariness of human relationships.

Good cozy romance with mild angsty notes. Tony is a little under-developed, as the warm/normal/open character usually is in plots where there's a broody/tragic/withdrawn character.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Anything you need, I'll be able to provide." ~Tony, setting up one of the three dates

What a sweet little book. Tony meets Dean by chance and is intrigued by the fact that Dean doesn't like Christmas. Christmas is Tony's favorite time of the year! Given that he also feels an attraction to Dean, he issues a challenge to him: participate in 3 Christmas themed dates and then decide if he still hates the holiday. Tony fights his physical attraction in order demonstrate to Dean that he is interested in the long-run and not just a one night stand. As they get to know each other, their conversations are sweet and funny. The reader gets to know these characters at the same time and it's such a pleasant journey.

There are some funny lines delivered from these guys. Favorite lines from the book:
After hearing Tony explain how he dressed for Halloween to please his nieces, Dean spouts, "If there aren't pictures, it didn't happen."

While reflecting that he should control his innuendo-filled comments while waiting in Dean's living room, Tony thinks to himself, "No need to spook his prey, a.k.a. the potential boyfriend."

Definitely a HFN ending and a sequel would be great. I was happy to see at the end there was an epilogue until I discovered the epilogue was 2 days later and basically added nothing. If these two guys (and Mama) appear in a future book, I will snap it up because both of these characters, though not perfect, are very appealing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good story, but---
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2017

I enjoyed the characters and the story well enough to finish the book, but the switching points of view without any indication kind of pulled me out of the story. Granted, the second half of the book was better and didn't do it as much, but an extra space between switches would have been welcome. The story WAS good enough for me to get past it, so that's something, but--one minute, they're making out on the couch and "finish" in their pants and the next, one of the characters is on his way out the door. Did they clean up? Is he angry? Why is he leaving? Ah, the unanswered questions--

This is really one of those feel-good Christmas books. Tony and Dean truly come from two different worlds. Sensing this, and the deepest connection possible, Tony sets out to show Dean that he can open his heart. No angst and full of heart. This will give you the true meaning of Christmas.

A sweet, warm, and fun holiday romance that will lift your spirits. I wouldn't call Dean a Scrooge but he certainly has had his fill sense he works in retail, when Tony comes into his store his whole life is going to change. Tony's love of the holiday season can be infectious but if it's enough to change Dean's views, well you'll have to read Three Dates of Christmas for yourself, trust me you won't be disappointed.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 25, 2018

This is a really lovely re-read. It is gentle and sweet, reminding us that sometimes we have to brave our fears, and grasp opportunities afforded to us.
Tony has come back home to live and work, Dean has been alone a long time, but when Dean is invited out on a date, by one of his customers, Tony, he tentatively takes a step outside his comfort zone. Tony is unlike anyone he's ever met, and slowly, gently, his defences crumble, letting Tony and his love into his life.
Sweet, sappy and utterly lovely,
