Blurb: Pierce Atwater used to think he was a knight in shining armor, but then his life fell to crap. Now he has no job, no wife, no life—and is so full of self-pity he can’t even be decent to the one family member he’s still speaking to. He heads for Florida, where he’s got a month to pull his head out of his ass before he ruins his little sister’s Christmas.
Harold Justice Lombard the Fifth is at his own crossroads—he can keep being Hal, massage therapist in training, flamboyant and irrepressible to the bones, or he can let his parents rule his life. Hal takes one look at Pierce and decides they’re fellow unicorns out to make the world a better place. Pierce can’t reject Hal’s overtures of friendship, in spite of his misgivings about being too old and too pissed off to make a good friend.
As they experience everything from existential Looney Tunes to eternal trips to Target, Pierce becomes more dependent on Hal’s optimism to get him through the day. When Hal starts getting him through the nights too, Pierce must look inside for the knight he used to be—before Christmas becomes a doomsday deadline of heartbreak instead of a celebration of love.

Review: What a Christmas. Pierce is having such a hard time, both physically and emotionally. He was hurt pretty bad in a car accident, ended his marriage and was trying to get back into shape. So staying in a condo for Christmas in Florida sounded good. He had not expected a very sexy kid to want to help him.
Hal is twenty-three and stuck in his life. His parents are important people who want Hal to do one thing. The problem is he doesn’t want to be a lawyer, he wants to help people. So when he sees a man in the pool, and then finds out he is injured, well he has found what he is looking for.
These two are sweet and so perfect for each other. I got a kick out of Hal, he reminds me of my youngest who is in college. Can’t stick to one major, but will eventually figure it out. This story caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end. The characters were a blast to read about and the ending was perfect.
I had a blast reading this and would definitely recommend it.
