Huntsman by Clare London


Wonderful, funny, holiday read. Loved these characters.


From the Huntsman blurb:

Swipe left on the Big Bad Wolf!

Hugo is a successful London lawyer, fiercely driven, habitually short-tempered, scornful of all things Christmas—and also extremely miserable. Until recently, he was dating Davy, his cute and ultra-efficient PA. For Hugo—never very good at social interaction, let alone romance—it was a hot, exciting, and surprisingly loving time. But after a heated argument put them at odds, they’ve now reverted to a purely professional relationship. Alone, with the holiday season looming, Hugo is determined to cope with it all as a mature, professional man. He’s just not sure he’s succeeding.

Davy is also still reeling from the breakup with his grumpy boss. He’d been falling hard for Hugo’s clever wit and quiet charm, hidden under all that crankiness, and eagerly looking forward to spending Christmas with his lover—if he could only persuade Hugo to put up the appropriate decorations!—but it wasn’t to be. His PA job and his relationship with Hugo were the best things in his life, but the argument knocked both his pride and his confidence, and it’s far better now to concentrate solely on his career. He’s sure this is the right decision. Definitely. Probably.

A new dating app called HuntsMan seems promising to help him move on … but each date is worse than the last. What wandering eyes they have, what selective hearing they have—and, wait, is that guy actually trying to sniff Davy? When the final bad date with the sharp, shiny teeth turns out to be way too predatory for comfort, Davy realises how much he needs and misses Hugo.

Will there be a second chance for them both? More importantly, will it come in time to save Davy from the Big Bad Wolf?


Kjnrose's review:

Huntsman was such a good holiday read. This is a second chance, age gap, grumpy/sunshine, boss/employee read about Hugo and Davy. They were dating and a misunderstanding makes Davy break up, after that Hugo finds out Davy has started dating again, what comes next is a fun story with wonderful characters.
