Can true love warm his frozen heart?

When Casey Stevens went away to college four years ago, he ghosted on his straight best friend, Joel Vreeland. He hoped time and distance would lessen the unrequited affection he felt, but all it did was make him miss Joel more. Home for the holidays, Casey hopes they might find a way to be friends again. But Joel’s frosty reception reminds Casey of just how hard he had to fight to be Joel’s friend in the first place. It’s going to take a Christmas miracle to get past that cool façade again.

Joel isn’t as straight as Casey believes, and his years of pining for Casey have left him hurting and alone, caring for his abusive father and struggling to get by. Unable to trust anyone except his rescue dog—and with no reason to believe Casey is interested in him for more than a holiday fling—Joel’s icy heart might shatter before it can thaw.

Can Casey and Joel’s love overcome mistrust, parental rejection, class differences, and four long years apart? Mr. Frosty Pants is a stand-alone, Christmas gay romance by Leta Blake featuring a virgin hero, childhood friends-to-lovers, second chance romance, and steamy mm first times.

The time of the year when cheesy Christmas romances inundate our in boxes has arrived. But, I can safely say that Mr. Frosty Pants by Leta Blake was not one of them. Ms. Blake wrote of love lost, second chances, and timeless love through adversity.

Casey and Joel loved each other since high school, yet each had their own reasons for not letting on their feelings, or even coming out as a gay youth. Now, in their early twenties, their lives have taken different paths, but ultimately converging back to each other.

Ms. Blake delivered a heart-felt warm and tender story of two men; one who was afraid to live and love, the other who knew what he wanted and grabbed it by the horns.

Casey’s ability to see through Joel’s rough and frosty exterior, endeared him to this reader and had me falling in love from the start. Joel’s tumultuous life left little for him to feel good about, until Casey bulldozed into him and made him feel like anything was possible. 

Together they forged ahead through adversity and found a timeless love, which the author lead us to believe would be in place for years to come.

Even though their new relationship took days to come to fruition, Ms. Blake added enough detail and past experiences, that as I reader, I was not left with a feeling of wham bam, thank you- let’s profess our undying love.

The writing was beautifully articulated and the characterization of both men flawlessly flawed.

A wonderful start to my holiday season reading binge.
