Resumen del Editor

Will fake boyfriends become the real deal this holiday?

It’s the most wonderful time of the year - except ex-Marine Logan is jobless and getting evicted. Worse, he’s a new single dad with a stepson who hates him. A kid needs stability - not to mention presents under the tree - and Logan’s desperate.

Then he meets lonely Seth and makes a deal.

Can Logan temporarily pretend to be live-in boyfriends to increase Seth’s chances at a promotion? If it provides a roof over their heads for the holidays, hell yeah. Logan considers himself straight - he doesn’t count occasional hookups with guys - but he can fake it. Besides, with his shy little smile, Seth is surprisingly sexy.

Make that damn sexy.

Shocked that Seth has only been with one man, Logan can’t resist sweetening their deal to teach him the joys of casual sex. No strings attached. No feelings. No kissing.

No falling for each other.

Easy, right?

The Christmas Deal is a steamy holiday gay romance from Keira Andrews featuring fake boyfriends, bisexual awakening, a clueless single dad with an angry preteen, and of course a happy ending.

Loved it!

While I have been OD'ing on mm Christmas romances, I have to say this was one of my favorites. I loved the two MCs, even though I was on the fence early on when it came to Logan. But in the end, he didn't disappoint. Seth was easy to love - even if he was OTT a bit (no swearing, "clean"). But it's kind of decadent for a good boy being so into dirty talk.

And my guilty pleasure is a very satisfying epilogue really showing a strong HEA.

The narration was spot on.

Sweet & Sexy Holiday Treat!!

A delightfully spicy Christmas Deal!! It took some warming up to John Solo's narration, but soon grew to enjoy his sweet, sexy voice. This was a genuine find, and thoroughly enjoyed her tender and explicit Christmas romp!! Her guys were very sweet and earthy, with an interesting story.

Oh,my!

What a great heartfelt and endearing Christmas story. It doesn’t even need a Christmas theme, it’s just so good.

Fun Fake Relationship Holiday Audiobook

I can always count on Keira Andrews for an enjoyable story and The Christmas Deal is no exception. Single Dad, Fake Relationships, & Opposites Attract are some of my favorite tropes, and I’ve definitely been in the mood for some holiday-themed books, so this was a good fit. It’s also a complete stand alone.

Logan, 37, is grumpy, recovering from an injury, out of a job, and about to be homeless. To top it off he’s the only parent to his deceased wife’s son, Conner. Being a step-parent doesn’t come naturally. Seth, 38, is workmates & friends with Logan’s sister Jenna. When a work situation forces Seth into inventing a family – Jenna loans him Logan & Conner. The caper begins!

While it is successful in contrasting Seth’s “buttoned-up” persona and is consistent with Logan’s character, the plethora of cuss words did feel like a bit much at times given that this is a holiday-themed book. Overall the story is at turns sweet, sad, and funny; Logan coming to terms with his true feelings for Seth, Seth worried about falling in love with a straight man, and Conner struggling to find his place in what has been an unstable world. These come together nicely and ultimately this is an enjoyable Christmas listen.

The initial ending is an HFN as Logan & Seth recognize that going even though they’re going from pretend to real – it is a burgeoning relationship. Andrews provides a lovely 5-years-later epilogue that solidifies the HEA.

John Solo does a good job here. All the characters have distinct and consistent voices. Solo, as always, does a terrific job evoking emotions and he really brings this story to life.

great and amazing story

this book was amazing so real and so down to earth . I loved every minute and I know I could not put this book down until it was done
.

Not too sugary or too angsty

I enjoyed this audiobook. The trope is a common one, but Keira Andrews puts a unique spin on it with elements of grief, unexpected parenthood, and found family. Logan’s self discovery was believable, but not too angsty. Seth is the kind of character that I think John Solo narrates particularly well, kind of shy but curious and tough when he needs to be. John Solo can be hit or miss for me, but I think he did a really good job here.

6 Stars for the Narrator!

When I started this book, I was just hoping for an enjoyable holiday story. I got so much more with The Christmas Deal. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. This book was so much deeper than the typical Christmas romances that I have been reading. It is my favorite trope, fake relationship. On top of that it was also MM and single parent romance. There was so much to love about this book. The characters were great and I was immediately attached to them and rooting for them. There was clear character development. There was also a secondary plot with the kid in this book. It was an emotional journey but so fulfilling. And HOTT. I can't forget to mention that it did get pretty steamy. The best part was the narrators voice for Logan. Holy wow, if I had a guy with a voice like that I would absolutely melt, amongst other things. Overall, this book was a huge win with me. I will definitely listen to it again. This is my first experience with this author. I can't wait to try another of her books.

enjoyed it

📖 Took me a while to warm up to Logan's character, but overall I enjoyed The Christmas Deal. The pace was good, the characters felt real and the story was well written. 😊 I'd be happy to listen to it again.

🎧 John Solo did a good performance with the characters, he has good inflections and intonations and it was easy to feel the emotions of the story. I did find times when the rhythm was slightly off and the narration felt a little stilted, but it was only a minor thing and not enough to pull me from the story.

It was fantastic

A must buy book, it will make you think and you will fall in love. The sex in this book is some thing special! It what all young gay men should feel when making love to thier partners

A great love story

I cant say how much I liked this book. Well written with good ips and downs. My only dislike. The main character name. Well worth the time. I laughed and cried.
