Blurb
Bryan Graham is shocked to find he’s inherited a hunting cabin in north-central Pennsylvania. From his grandfather of all people; a stubborn man who went out of his way to make Bryan’s childhood miserable. He’d vowed never to go back to the small, rural community of Kutter’s Summit, not that he didn’t have fond memories of the place. It’s just that he’d rather be celebrating a quiet Christmas back in Nashville with his cat and his contracts.
A couple of weeks of hunting, cleaning, and handyman work, and he can hopefully put the place up for sale and move on with his life. He never expected to find his childhood friend Parson Greer living in the cabin. Parson is no longer a boy, but a handsome, wary man consumed by the demons of a faraway desert war. When a rekindled friendship shifts into something deeper, Bryan finds himself lost in emotions that a workaholic like him has never made time to experience before.
Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
VL Locey's The Christmas Oaks is a beautiful story of healing. It's a story of two former friends who learn the lesson of taking back the power over one's own life.
Parson's a recluse who suffers from PTSD, while Bryan's a workaholic who pushes everyone away. Together they make for an interesting couple. It's fantastic the way the author brings these two men together, and the way they influence one another for the better.
Their story involves a homophobic grandfather, and some lovely twists and turns. I adore Bryan's sister for her demands to Bryan for him to step up and do his part. She's feisty and a lot of fun. And the author excels in her illustration of PTSD with Parson. This aspect is tremendously well done, important while not being too overwhelming.
The Christmas Oaks is seriously a super sweet read. It's a tender story of giving oneself a chance to heal, recover, and find happiness. I highly suggest this amazing holiday read.
V.L. Locey loves worn jeans, yoga, belly laughs, walking, reading and writing lusty tales, Greek mythology, Torchwood and Dr. Who, the New York Rangers, comic books, and coffee. (Not necessarily in that order.) She shares her life with her husband, her daughter, one dog, two cats, a pair of geese, far too many chickens, and two steers.
When not writing spicy romances, she enjoys spending her day with her menagerie in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania with a cup of fresh java in one hand and a steamy romance novel in the other.
