Keeping secrets is never a good way to start a relationship...
Theo hardly has time to date. Between work and caring for his four-year-old son there aren’t many hours left over. He’s lonely though, so he joins a hook-up app and starts chatting to a guy called Luke. Luke seems friendly and they arrange to meet. Theo doesn’t mention that he has a child. It’s early days and he’s worried about putting Luke off before they get to know each other.
Luke is currently working as Santa at the local shopping mall. He figures Theo never has to know. Christmas will be over soon and Luke will move on to a new, less embarrassing job. He’s surprised when Theo and a little boy visit Santa one afternoon. Theo doesn’t recognise Luke, and Luke realises he’s not the only one with a secret.
Despite misgivings on both sides, they start dating, and the chemistry is amazing. But as Christmas approaches their secrets pile up like colourful packages under the tree. If they’re not careful, they’ll lose the best gift of all—each other.
Secret
Santa
by Jay Northcote and narrated by Hamish Long was sweet and
sappy, and just the right amount of Christmas cheer.
Luke
and Theo met on Grindr app, with plans for a promising hook up, but unbeknownst
to Theo, they subsequently met when Theo brought his son Archie to meet Santa. Not
wanting to scare a perspective boyfriend, Theo never told Luke about Archie and
then the secrets began.
I
enjoyed the story but had a bit of difficulty with the lying to each other. I understood
the reasoning and the light-heartedness, but…..All in all, the book hit the
mark for a quick read or listen to.
Hamish
Long
did a wonderful job of narrating this sweet read, utilizing inflection and
voice changes to deliver the tale. Nicely done!
Frisky
but Nothing too Kinky
