First off; I haven't read Teacher of the Year yet :-O But this totally reads as a stand-alone. And I was after festive reads.
Sheldon is a femme, super gay. I appreciate this won't be to everyone's taste, but hey, I LOVED him. After being rejected so badly, he's even 'more' to compensate. And how marvellous that he was free to do that in this book.
The relationship between him and his twin sister is everything! And shows his vulnerability behind closed doors. Oh, and Janice the cat is adorable.
Now, we get to the 'grump' part. Theo, bless him. He is a veteran with PTSD - an injured warrior. He has cut himself off from the world as he tries to come to terms with what's happened. This makes him appear grumpy and stand-offish. But that won't stop the unicorn-fart that is Sheldon from trying to bring sparkly sunshine into his life.
Theo Berenson seems to be Iorek Byrnison in human form!
btw mishigas means 'craziness'.
Fake dating is not usually my thing. But in this book it really worked. Both guys have issues, and together they can tackle them. (*whispers*) They're both really sweet too. And there's a height difference.
The mix of Hanukah and Christmas was lovely - a blend of festive cheer that was heart-warming.
The steam was pretty good too ;)
I thoroughly enjoyed this festive fake dating tale.
So, if you want a different type of holiday romance, you should definitely give this one a go.
A 4.5* shiny stars from me.
