S.E.X. Review~ A Christmas Break by Annabelle Jacobs

Christmas is a time for giving, not lusting after your brother’s best mate.

Finn has never had the Christmas of his dreams, and this year isn’t shaping up to be much better. Then he rents his spare room out to Jasper, and life begins to look up.

Laid-back Jasper is nothing like Finn expects. He’s hot, sweet, and easy to talk to. Finn could easily fall for him. But, he’s his brother’s best friend. He’s off limits, and Finn would never break that sacred rule…right?

Jasper has carried a torch for his best mate’s brother for years. Living with him sparks an old flame to light, and the more time they spend together, the brighter it burns. Finn is gorgeous and kind. He’s everything Jasper has ever wanted.

But he’s also scarred by old wounds and reluctant to let his guard down again. Friendship blooms, and for a short while, it’s enough. But the fire between them is undeniable. Finn can fight it as much as he likes.

He won’t win.

I love a good Christmas story and Annabelle Jacobs’ A Christmas Break was a sweet read. Finn and Jasper had a personal connection with Jasper being Finn’s brother Cole, best friend. Problem, Jasper had a thing for Finn, yet Finn still saw him as a kid.

I’m always amazed when authors make a five-year difference appear to be insurmountable. Unless we are talking teen years and underage characters, five years doesn’t seem to be that big of a deal.

Ms. Jacobs did a nice job of making Finn and Jasper’s relationship believable. Both men were sweet and seasoned. Both knew what they wanted in reference to each other and were able to overcome any tribulations. Some angst regarding both men in their respective lives, but nothing that wasn’t easily solved.

Sweet characters with soft spots for stray cats.

Sexy & Sizzling
