Blurb: Jake Sanders comes home for Christmas after a dreary semester filled with sleepless nights and a cheating boyfriend. Finding a new man is the last thing on his mind until he discovers that Ben Swinburne now owns the bakery where they both once worked.
Five years ago, Jake and Ben shared a single kiss, and Jake has never forgotten the way Ben’s lips felt against his. When Ben catches Jake under the mistletoe, passion ignites between them.
This time around, Ben wants more than one kiss, but Jake isn’t sure he’s ready for another relationship. He must find the strength to move past his pain and open his heart, or will he miss out on a second chance with the man of his dreams.
This title has been previously released by another publisher.
Review: This is all about love the second time around. Jake shared a mind-melting kiss with Ben five years earlier. However, Ben with his ethics did not wish to be involved with a young Jake. Now, however, that they are both older and more mature, Ben is hoping to pick up where they left off. Jake, however, is scared having just had his heart-broken. After not just a searing kiss, but also a night of hot passion, Jake back pedals leaving Ben broken-hearted.
However, in the spirit of Christmas and families, Jake’s family steps in to help him see the error of his ways, and he runs back to the one man who he’s never ever forgotten.
There’s nothing like heat in a kitchen to lend heat to a relationship and that is what Jake and Ben provide for the reader. The men reconcile in the best of ways and the Christmas miracle is achieved as they both realize just what they’ve always meant to each other.
For those who see Christmas as a time of healing and reconciliation, this story is all about that. Happy Reading – you won’t regret it.
