Unexpected Christmas by Nell IrisMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
An unexpected gem of a sweet little Christmas story. Daniel has had enough of his homophobic and bigoted uncle spewing hate at his mother and himself. He storms out of his mother’s house and into a snow storm. Only then does he realize he’s left his jacket behind. Resigned to walking into town, he hears a truck and flags it down. He’s thankful it stopped until he sees the big bad boy driving it. Ax murderer or death by freezing? He’ll take the ax murderer. On the way into town, Axel must make a detour to take care of his niece, with Daniel tagging along. This begins the relationship that develops between Daniel and Axel.
This could be classified as insta-love, and yet it didn’t have that feel to it. There’s a lot of depth and warmth to the story and the characters as well. The relationship develops slowly, over the course of a year. This was a well written and thoroughly enjoyable story.
