Company for Christmas By A E Ryecart

Genre: Contemporary Romance, GLBTQ, MM, Holiday

Released: November 21, 2018

Publisher: Self-Published

Synopsis

Who says fairy tales are only make-believe?

Every night, Nathan works the street known as The Rack. Like every other rent boy, he dreams his Prince Charming will come and take him away to a better life.

Too bad Nathan’s stopped believing in fairy tales.

Max has everything except the one thing he craves: somebody to love, cherish, and protect.

Somebody to call his own.

When Nathan and Max’s worlds collide on the cold and grimy backstreet, little do they know that Christmas magic has already cast its spell.

Maybe fairy tales really can come true after all.

Company for Christmas is a 16k novelette. A warm woollen coat instead of a glass slipper, an unconventional found family, an inflatable Father Christmas called Dirty Santa… and the best Company for Christmas ever.

Broke my heart and mended it back together.

I didn’t think that A E Ryecart could top her recently released Christmas story A Kiss Before Christmas. I’m not saying that this one is better but it’s at least equal and it’s a fairly short one at only 16,000 words.

The blurb tells you everything but I have to add…if you are a fan of this author’s Barista Boys series, you’ll want to read Company for Christmas if for no other reason than Bernie’s in the story. If you haven’t read that series, don’t worry, Company for Christmas isn’t part of that series and you don’t need to have read it first.

Ms. Ryecart packs a lot into this novelette and, while I’m the kind of reader who always wants more, the ending is sweet and left me feeling really good about Nathan and Max. Perhaps next year she’ll write a follow up story for these two. ?
