Review: Rory was a bit upset with his boyfriend breaking up with him and his parents off on a long trip. He decided to spend his two-week Christmas break at the dorm’s. Peace and quiet with no one around. That is until one of the freshman was stuck right there with him. James was a quiet young man who didn’t really have any friends. It looks like his luck might just be changing.

I am not normally a fan of very short stories but this one was a blast to read. Not only is it short, but the author seemed to put the whole magic into it. It felt like a nice size story with quite a bit of detail to it. It is perfect for the holidays and has given me a new author to look out for. The characters were entertaining and the sex was pretty hot.

This might just change my idea of short Christmas stories. I had a lot of fun with it and would definitely recommend it. I can also admit that this will probably be on my holiday read list for each Christmas.
