This was such a fun Valentine’s Day novella! There’s a great found family element with a group of friends who gather for a house party every Valentine’s Day. This time around, Benji’s sister invites him to attend, only she forgets to let him know about a power outage that means everyone else is arriving a day later. Cue awkward meet-cute when he arrives at William’s house and no one else is there!
I adored these two together. William is a great buttoned up hero who has been so consumed with work, until recently realizing how this has negatively affected his friendships and that he’s now ready for a relationship but completely out of practice. Benji, on the other hand, has contorted himself to be whatever past partners wanted and refuses to that anymore. He’s embraced all his contradictions and is proud of them: he’s a mechanic who loves to wear lingerie. And it turns out, William loves him in it. They decide to embark on a secret fake Valentine’s Day relationship just for the weekend but it’s immediately clear they’re both interested in more, even if it’s a terrifying and vulnerable prospect. There’s praise kink and holding each other cuddle hostage and early morning sunrise viewings and one incredibly fun dance party.
I loved everything about it and I cannot wait for the next book in this holiday romance series!

I Loved Benji and his love for lacy, silky, sexy undergarments
This was a HOT quick read that I devoured in one afternoon! I Loved Benji and his love for lacy, silky, sexy undergarments as well as sex toys, and he was the perfect opposite of William which made things so interesting. William is a total workaholic and he's finally realized that he's at a place in his life where he feels comfortable enough to step back a bit from his business and start dating, what he doesn't expect is for the perfect person to knock on his door during a power outage.If you have read the first book, STOCKING STUFFERS, then you have met Benji because that book was about his sister Sasha and he made a few appearances in it, if you haven't no worries because this can be read as a standalone. I loved Benji in that book and couldn't wait to get my hands on his, I'm glad I didn't have to wait to long. Benji is a people pleaser and always conforms himself to fit the mold of what others want him to be but now he is taking control of his own life and not letting others dictate how he should act.William is about 8-10 years older then Benji, and a bit stuffy but I guess that's what happens when you're all work and no play. This Valentine's Day William is having a bunch of his longtime friends over for the weekend and Sasha invited Benji to join them. Things don't go according to plan because he looses power at his lake house, but you know sometimes the best times are not planned at all!If you are looking for a HOT MM read that will get you into the holiday mood or just get you in the mood ;) I would recommend you grab a copy of this book, cozy up in front of a fire with a glass of wine and enjoy.Happy Reading!!!**I have voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Readers Copy of this book for my Blog, Nadine's Obsessed with Books**
