Second in the Minnesota Christmas series, Heidi
Cullinan
presents readers with Arthur Anderson, a sweet thirty-
nine year old looking for love. When his roommate and
lover gets angry with him because he wants more than just
the fling they've been having, he makes Arthur choose --
become more serious about their relationship or he
leaves. When Arthur can't come to grips with it, it
leaves his lover with no choice but to leave him and this
is where Arthur's mother steps in, trying to play
matchmaker with all the single gay guys in their town.
Since it's Christmas, Arthur cannot seem to escape his
mother's reach so when he is forced to take part in the
sleigh ride fundraiser, it puts him in near proximity to
Gabriel Higgins, the sweet and smart librarian.
Heidi Cullinan puts two opposites together and somehow
makes them work together. Neither one of them is thrilled
with the idea of being together during the holidays, but
somehow their non-dates turn into real dates and their
friendship becomes more than that.
SLEIGH RIDE isn't very long, but this book manages to put
you in a good mood no matter what. I think it's because
the author just writes some really sweet characters that
you cannot help but love. Cullinan infuses the story with
holiday cheer, charismatic characters and a whole load of
charm. What else could you want from a holiday romance?
Arthur Anderson doesn’t want anything to do with love and
romance, and he certainly doesn’t want to play Santa in
his
mother’s library fundraising scheme. He knows full well
what
she really wants is to hook him up with the town’s lanky,
prissy librarian.
It’s clear Gabriel Higgins doesn’t want him, either—as a
Santa, as a boyfriend, as anyone at all. But when Arthur’s
efforts to wiggle out of the fundraiser lead to getting to
know the man behind the storytime idol, he can’t help but
be
charmed. The least he can do is be neighborly and help
Gabriel find a few local friends.
As their fiery arguments strike hotter sparks, two men who
insist they don’t date wind up doing an awful lot of
dating.
And it looks like the sleigh they both tried not to board
could send them jingling all the way to happily ever
after.
Warning: Contains a feisty librarian, a boorish bear,
small
town politics, deer sausage, and a boy who wants a doll.
