Blurb: Dan’s favourite festive sweater is so ugly, it’s cost him not one but three boyfriends and sent him back to his parents’ place for the third Christmas in a row. About to give up hope of ever having a Christmas date, Dan meets Jake, a hot guy with a rock and roll edge. Jake is infatuated with Dan’s sweater but vanishes before Dan can decide if Jake is for real or really in need of an eye-check. After all, no one has ever liked the sweater.
Dan’s sweater is rocketed to national attention, when Jake’s radio colleagues launch a hunt for the mystery man in the hideous jumper. Dan jumps at the chance to meet Jake again, and they hit it off in a big way, to the accompaniment of intimate gigs, exclusive clubs, and the paparazzi. Dan falls hard, but despite obvious mutual attraction, Jake refuses to take him back to his apartment. Is the relationship real – or a ratings stunt? After all, Jake has a reputation for cool that Dan, a lowly gym instructor, could never approach. Is a fondness for tacky Christmas clothing the only thing they have in common? Or does uber-cool Jake hide a Christmas secret of his own?

Review: This author is new for me and I have to say that she definitely gives you a story that you will remember. First thing that caught my attention was the title, and let’s just say it is quirky enough to have me running to grab it. The cover shows you just how ugly the sweater is, but damn I wouldn’t mind it. This story was so damn funny, I spent most of my time laughing while reading it.
Dan’s is a quirky young man that loves his ugly sweater. It had even cost him boyfriends in the past, but he wasn’t going to give it up. Thank god he doesn’t have to when he finds the one man that loved it just as much as he did. Jake had walked in and saw Dan’s sweater and knew that this was one man he wanted to get to know. After all they are way more than alike then either one thinks.
I had so much fun reading this and look forward to seeing what other stories this author has out. I would like to see what these two are doing somewhere down the in the future. They rocked and I would definitely recommend this story.
