Blurb
Opposites might attract. But does that include age?
Christmas comes early for Aiden Malone in the form of a seductive, blue-eyed stranger down on his knees. But a shocking revelation about his new “friend” has him running for the hills and cursing his stupidity before the night is out.
Tom's not prepared to give up that easily. He may be rich where Aiden's poor. Innocent in a way that Aiden isn't. And on the wrong side of twenty. But he's old enough to know what he wants. And that's Aiden. He just needs to persuade the older man to look past his hang-ups about age and wealth.
Lust and prejudice pull Aiden in opposite directions, severely testing his willpower. As Tom's layers begin to peel away, Aiden discovers the younger man's life of privilege may not be all it seems. If Aiden gives in, they could have the sweetest Christmas that either of them has ever tasted.
But Tom's about to shatter their joy with a surprise announcement. Decisions need to be made on both sides. It’s down to Aiden, though, to stay strong and decide whose happiness is more important. His? Or Tom's? Because they can’t have it both ways.
It's possible their relationship won't even last as long as it takes for the snow to melt.

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
Christmas Riches is a powerful illustration of what is truly important in life. I am extremely impressed with this HL Day romance.
Tom may be rich as far as society is concerned, but he's alone. His family doesn't care about him and he doesn't have any friends. Aiden meanwhile isn't rich by the normal standards, but his life and heart are rich.
Their romance is one of intense sexual connection, but some obstacles get in the way of them moving forward. They come from different worlds, with a large age gap. Tom is only 18, with limited experiences, and Aiden struggles with society's opinion. They are opposites, money wise, experience wise, and age wise. But wow, Tom's experiences at just 18 are many. Just wow!
My favorite quote is "Maybe you can make me smile." I mean, seriously, if that doesn't explain loneliness to you, I don't know what will.
Christmas Riches is so much more than just a Christmas romance. The last part of the book wrecked me. I cried, I smiled, I cried some more, and I swooned.
