Publisher Description
In this gay Christmas romance, a snowstorm traps a gruff military police officer playing Santa gets with an overly enthusiastic do-gooder.
Teddy MacNally loves Christmas and everything that goes along with it. When he plays an elf for his charity’s events, he never expects to be paired with a Scrooge masquerading as Santa Claus. His new mission: make the holiday-hating soldier believe he was born to say ho-ho-ho.
Sergeant Major Nicholas Nowicki doesn’t do Santa, but he’s army to his blood. When his CO asks an unusual favor, Nick of course obliges. The elf to his Kris Kringle? Tempting. Too tempting—Nick’s only in town for another month, and Teddy’s too young, too cheerful and too nice for a one-night stand.
The slow, sexy make-out sessions while Teddy and Nick are alone and snowbound, though, feel like anything but a quick hookup. As a stress-free holiday fling turns into Christmas all year round, Teddy can’t imagine his life without Nick. And Nick’s days on the base may be coming to a close, but he doesn’t plan on leaving anything, or anyone, behind.
Praise for Better Not Pout
“[A] tender and funny contemporary romance. . . . Their sexual chemistry is explosive. . . . Albert’s obvious affection for her characters, particularly Nick, makes this tale a pleasure.” —Publishers Weekly
“A lovely, feel-good story about two people who are perfect for each other but need just a bit of Christmas magic to help them to see it. . . . I teared up a bit near the end, and then closed the book with a happy sigh and a smile on my face, which is never a bad thing.” —All About Romance
Customer Reviews
Coupling Perfection..
Nick and Teddy seemed like an odd couple as this book began. As their time together seems to demonstrate the strong attraction and the need to be together growing each day, Nick and Teddy dealt with the precise timing of the end of their relationship, since Nick had firm plans that would send him away from the cold… and from Teddy. It appears that Nick is determined to honor his commitment to a friend and go south. Teddy seems to accept the end, but they both have surprises in the works. Satisfying conclusion, but not really an ending. Good read.
