A Kiss Before Christmas: A Snowy London Love Story

Rory & Jack, Book 1

De: Ali Ryecart

Narrado por: Dan Calley

Christmas is looming and Jack De Lacy needs a solution to one hell of a fix.

Dumped by his boyfriend in favor of his best friend, Jack's been busy bragging about a hot new man in his life.

A hot new man who doesn't exist.

With an important function to attend where he'll come face-to-face with his ex, Jack knows he'll be a laughing stock when his boasts are exposed as nothing more than wishful thinking. He's desperate but time, like his options, is running out.

Rory Kincaid is scared he won't last another night sleeping rough on London's frozen, snowbound streets. With all the homeless shelters full, Rory seeks refuge in the first empty doorway he stumbles across.

Finding Rory shivering in the sub-zero temperatures, Jack can no more send him away than kick a puppy out into the cold. A shower, shave and hot drink later, the grubby street kid is transformed into a beautiful young man.

As the attraction between them grows, so does a plan that will get Jack out of the mess he's in and give Rory a warm, safe home for Christmas. Sweet and adorable, Rory will make a great fake boyfriend for the festive season - the problem is, neither Jack nor Rory is sure where make-believe ends and truth begins.

Warning: this novella contains a camp Christmas tree, a drag queen Christmas fairy called Doris, way too many jugs of eggnog, a closet posh boy, and the sweetest Kiss Before Christmas ever.

Super Sweet

If you are a softy like me you will enjoy
this heartwarming holiday insta love story narrated wonderfully by Dan Calley.

heart warming

A splendidly good narration. Believable characters and development. A charming slow burn love story!

Sweet and whimsical Christmas story

First off, I find myself enjoying this gay story, despite the lack of any sexual content, it's nice to have a love story that is completely chaste from time to time. The love between Jack and Rory is real and charming.
Second, the story plot is used far more often in Christmas themed stories, going back to Dickens' Christmas Carol, but I do enjoy a story where a down trodden person is lifted up by someone, who feels the Christmas spirit and is themselves improved by their actions. Jack's act of kindness not only saved Rory's life, but he now has a real chance at love.
Finally, the narration was very good, I enjoy the British accent and the voice acting handled Jack and Rory's voices very well with unique takes.

Cute

This was a sweet/cute Christmas romance story. I really enjoyed it however it lacked heat. Just a little steam but no heat. Had that had been there I would’ve given it 5 stars. I love Dan Calley. Good narrator
