S.E.X. Review~ A No- Strings Noel by Annabelle Jacobs

A week of no-strings fun in a winter wonderland setting. No consequences, no expectations, no hurt feelings. Right?

Henry:
Finding his boyfriend in a compromising position leaves him with a week off work and no holiday to go on. A night of vodka, ice cream, and his sister’s sympathetic ear is the only way to deal with it. It’s also how he finds himself on holiday alone a few weeks later, at an English holiday village in the countryside, surrounded by Christmas cheer and happy families.

He’s expecting a week of relaxing days and early nights, doing his own thing, and taking some time for himself. And hopefully finding some festive spirit along the way, because it’s sorely lacking at the moment.

What he’s not expecting is Dom.


Dom:
Coming to somewhere so familiar soothes his broken heart after yet another failed attempt at finding someone to settle down with. He’s ready. They never are.

Seeing a lost-looking stranger on the first day of his holiday triggers his protective instincts, so he steps in to give him some helpful advice. Who knew that advice would mean they end up spending the day and then the whole week together? But he figures a holiday fling is exactly what he needs to get through this slump: no expectations, no misunderstandings, no heartbreak.
Or that was the plan.
He knows Henry wants more, but he doesn’t trust himself where his heart’s concerned. He doesn’t trust Henry not to break it.

A Christmas MM romance featuring a meet-cute, a sexy holiday fling, a meddling but awesome sister, a teeny bit of angst, and a festive HEA.

A No- Strings Noel by Annabelle Jacobs was a nice read. A little slow to start, the book turned out to be sappy with just enough sweet. Dom and Henry met at a Christmas wonderland park and started a week of sexy activities, as the two men were stag -recently broke up with boyfriends.

The upstart of the relationship formation was slow and methodical, and at times a bit confusing. As a fan of Ms. Jacobs, I wanted to love this book, but I only liked it. More times than not, I was not sure what was the point while also feeling the miscommunication between the two men was forced.

I liked the fierceness of Henry’s sister and would have liked more of Dom’s family. The ending made me smile and came full circle.

A Christmas trope to add to your list.
