A Nice Sweet Short Story
Under the Felt Mistletoe By Nell Iris
Genre: Contemporary Romance, GLBTQ, MM
Released: December 8, 2018
Publisher: JMS Books
The most wonderful time of the year is about to get even better.
On a cold, rainy December morning, Finn’s beloved Grampa, his best friend and rock, makes a friend outside their home who he invites in for coffee. The last thing Finn expects is Nelson, a man with a painful past, who is beautiful and generous and turns Finn’s knees into jelly.
What starts out as a chance to get out of the rain, soon becomes more as Nelson helps Finn get ready for the Christmas market. They bond over coffee and fabric and Mariah Carey. Can handmade Christmas ornaments and an understanding heart give Nelson the love he’s been denied?

A Nice Sweet Short Story
I really enjoyed this sweet Christmas story. Short stories can be difficult things to get right. Many readers will say that the story isn’t long enough, it doesn’t contain enough depth, etc. I think that Nell Iris did a great job with Under the Felt Mistletoe.
This isn’t a hot, sexy M/M story but what it lacks in heat it makes up for in the sweet relationship that develops between Finn and Nelson. There is also a great character in Finn’s Grampa who encourages Finn and Nelson’s developing relationship.
If you enjoy short stories with a lot of heart you won’t go wrong with this one.

Nell Iris is a romantic at heart who believes everyone deserves a happy ending. She’s a bona fide bookworm (learned to read long before she started school), wouldn’t dream of going anywhere without something to read (not even the ladies’ room), loves music (and singing along but, let’s face it, she’s no Celine Dion), and is a real Star Trek nerd (“Make it so”). She loves words, poetry, wine, and Sudoku, and absolutely adores elephants!
Nell believes passionately in equality for all regardless of race, gender, or sexuality, and wants to make the world a better, less hateful, place.
Nell is a forty-something bisexual Swedish woman, married to the love of her life, and a proud mama of a grown daughter. She left the Scandinavian cold and darkness for warmer and sunnier Malaysia a few years ago, and now spends her days writing, surfing the Internet, enjoying the heat, and eating good food. One day she decided to chase her lifelong dream of being a writer, sat down in front of her laptop, and wrote a story about two men falling in love.
Nell Iris writes gay romance, prefers sweet over angst, and wants to write diverse and different characters.
