    About this ebook

    A blizzard hits Detroit, and Jonah and Max, teammates on an independent wrestling promotion, find themselves stranded on Christmas Eve. Max has a steady mate at home, but he's longed for Jonah for years, so he's going to take this chance and prove to Jonah that he thinks he's a lot more than a muscle-bound pretty face.

      This is one of the shorter stories within the Mistletoe Madness series, but one I really liked because it gave such a message of hope.

      Jonah has been lonely and used by his colleagues on the tour. No longer holding out any hope for a real relationship, he runs into Max, an older guy who used to tour with them. When they both get stuck at the airport due to bad weather and spend the night in the lounge, they open up to each other and make love.

      Even though this was too short a story for full character development, there was enough of a sketch of the two personalities to help me connect emotionally. Jonah's plight and loneliness is clear, as is Max's unhappiness with his current relationship. The message at the end, with Max wanting to join Jonah rather than going to his own home may be 'unrealistic', but I liked it as a 'step in the right direction' and it was just the message of hope this story needed.

      I hope we will hear more about these two!
