A Crush for the Holidays is a unique holiday take on the father's best friend trope.
From the blurb:
When my best friend Jake deserted me for Christmas, it made my plans go to shit. The only bright spot is the offer to use his father’s cabin, which is better than sitting in my apartment. Alone.
But instead of the holiday vibes and cosy self-indulgence I was expecting, I’ve got frozen pipes spurting water everywhere! Forced to call the only person who can help brings up memories of the guy on the receiving end of a dare to ‘kiss the next guy who walks through the door’—Jake’s yummy dad and the guy I’ve had a big, fat crush on for years. The same guy who’s now on his way here to save me. Brilliant.
Dax
With yet another hookup gone bad, I plan to spend Christmas with me, my trusty hand… and thoughts about a guy who is way off limits. Tris. My son’s best friend. The guy who threw himself at me on a dare three years ago. Whose kiss has stopped me from kissing anyone else since.
That is until said guy calls from my cabin needing my help. Being around Tris—whose holiday attire consists of the shortest shorts known to man—is really testing my patience. Instead of the quick in-and-out repair I was hoping for, a snowstorm is now keeping me stranded at the cabin with him. Alone. How am I going to fight my longstanding attraction to him when he’s constantly in my face, shaking that cute butt of his? Yeah, you guessed it… I’m screwed.
A Crush for the Holidays is an MM, age gap, best-friend’s-dad romance with some Christmas magic in the shape of a snowstorm that gives Tristan the forced proximity romance of his dreams.
Molly Otto's review:
A beautiful balance of steam and vulnerability. Tristan has had a crush on his best friends dad since the moment they met but never took a shot knowing Dax is a commitment phobe to boot. Dax has always had a soft spot for his sons best friend, yet he doesn't seem to realize it's something more. When these two end up snowed in, Tristan takes his shot, and let's just say their chemistry is next level hot. They take their time together to explore what could have been if they met another way. When the heat passes, these two men need to look deeper and allow themselves to truly feel for this man they've opened up to. I would also like to thank the author for having a best friends dad trope where the son is supportive of not only the parent but the best friend. His encouragement and steadiness, I truly believe, are what allow this relationship to be able to go to the next level. It was a great unique read in a year of amazing holiday releases where it was hard to stand apart. i feel this author accomplished this.
