“This is a sweet, very smartly told, tale of two instantly smitten men coming together knowing they cannot possibly be together at the end. Or, can they? The way R. J. Scott weaves the town’s Christmas pageantry through the pages makes you want to haul out the old roadster and head straight to Vermont–she captures that essence and brings out the force within it to spin another of her wonderfully romantic tales.”
“Take a nice warm shower and get into your cuddly warm pajamas. Then settle down (next to a fire, if you’ve got one) and enjoy a comfortable, engaging, humorous and touching romance that pushes all the right buttons and makes very few demands on your emotions – other than the smile you’ll be exhibiting at the end of the story.”
“Jesse`s Christmas is a sweet Christmas read, with carols, trees, pictures, snow, wonderful characters and sweet loving. Everything to make you happy and Christmassy.”
Jesse’s Christmas
Can Gabriel show Jesse that a real Christmas is more than parties and plastic trees and that taking a chance on love can wash away even the worst of memories?
For world-renowned photojournalist Jesse Connor, Christmas is a stark reminder of last year’s misery when his banker boyfriend embezzled and mishandled millions of dollars of client money, and left Jesse with unmanageable debt. The ring he’d bought to propose was the first item he had to sell, and it wouldn’t be the last thing.
With this December fast approaching, he tells his agent he’ll take an assignment to get out of the city, but he pictured Tahiti, not wintery Eden Vale, Vermont. He’d signed the contract, there was no way out, and he was trapped in a town cut off by snow. Not only that, but the entire town population of only a thousand souls was determined on dragging him kicking and screaming into Christmas, led by the sexy teacher-handyman-hotel owner, Gabriel.
Gabriel has lived his entire life in the mountains, in a place awarded Best Christmas Town, 2011. A teacher at the elementary school, he shows others that the season of goodwill unites community, family, and that love resides in everyone’s heart.
When Jesse arrives in town, lacking even an ounce of Christmas spirit, Gabriel immediately sees through his defenses and bonds with him. Despite the barriers that Jesse throws up, Gabriel is determined to show the deeply sad man what a real Christmas can be. And, who knows, after that, maybe get him to stay in Eden Vale for longer than just a few snowy weeks.
