review 1: This is the first book I picked up from this year's Dreamspinner Advent Calendar. I'm not sure which day it was released. But I have recently read a book by Leonhard so I was excited to read this one. But, what a disappointment. The writing is really great, same as the other book I've read, but the story itself is a real downer. Ella, a depressed 55 year old woman, who's story we get in the first half of this tale, ends up as a voyeur of some m/m action on Christmas eve. It is a first person narrative written from Ella's POV. So the first problem is the narrator, she is like a debbie downer so no matter what joy the two men are feeling it's all tainted with her perspective and on top of it, since she is peeping we are separated anyway. It just didn't fill me with a... moreny warm, fuzzy, holiday spirit, which at the end of the day is what I look for in these little releases.
review 2: I guess the best thing I can say about this book, is that sometimes a small gesture can make a big difference in someone else's life.Other than that, I didn't enjoy this story, it's sad, depressing and slightly convoluted and has nothing to do with Christmas.( except that it takes place on Christmas eve).The first DSP story wasn't happy and fun or uplifting, at least for me,and this one is downright bah humbug! less
