Nantucket White Christmas
by Pamela M. Kelley
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This was an OK romance book; not too sappy and portrayed the female central character as strong and independent. But there were just too many characters and unnecessary short sub-plots. For example, one of the side characters is losing and then does loose his mother to brain cancer. How can you make this a sub plot? And because the side characters were not well developed it took me a while to remember who everyone was.

I had heard great things about this book and I had enjoyed one of his other books. With this one, I'm really torn. There are parts of this book that I seriously hated and I also found it fairly predictable. It's a New York story, so I liked seeing if I knew the locations he wrote about.

Honestly I didnt particularly love this collection of short stories. There are definitely some gems scattered throughout but overall it was not the best. For short stories, many felt like they dragged on.

A MM romance with Hudson, a hockey player who has been switched teams a lot and who doesn't make connections with people well has a one night stand with Gavin, who turns out to be a single dad athletic trainer with his new team. Hudson struggles with not knowing how to settle down with someone he might like, coming out as bisexual, and dealing with his pushy sports agent dad. Gavin worries about what his daughter will think and whether his job will be at risk if the team finds out they are dating. The characters are well developed and their concerns are completely understandable, but the book still winds up with a well done HEA.
