As my first Josephine Myles book, I was not sure what to expect. However, after just reading the first page of this Christmas-themed story, I realized that Myles has a very unique, quirky voice that is more compelling than the Christmas cheer that invigorates MERRY GENTLEMEN.

The upbeat, charming narration is all from Riley's point of view. Set in Bath, Riley MacDermott's job involves managing the annual Bath Christmas Market where he hopes he can save enough money to move out of his noisy flat where his neighbor, an annoying seagull with a grudge will no longer bother him.

As this all happens, Riley encounters the love of his life once again. Stan will always be the one for Riley. However, when they called it quits, Riley is determined to pretend that the heartache still doesn't linger within him. MERRY GENTLEMEN is a story of the reunion of lost love in several smoking hot encounters, one of which being inside a shed.

Myles' lighthearted and often hilarious writing style sets the overall tone for this Christmas story. Filled to the brim with laughter and love, MERRY GENTLEMEN will lift your spirits, readying you for upcoming holidays while also giving you a dose of steam to warm you for those wintery nights!
