A nice boy gets naughty...
Redheaded freshman Jeremy "Cherry" Rourke is certainly living up to his childhood nickname, although still being inexperienced is the least of his concerns. After coming out, his parents barely talk to him. He hasn't made any friends at university. Worst of all, he's about to spend Christmas completely alone in an empty dorm.
Jeremy clearly needs a fairy godfather, so football captain Max Pimenta takes him under his wing to help him find his dating groove. But Jeremy's wound way too tight. He's too vulnerable. Max can't trust some random guy with him. He needs to take care of Jeremy himself and introduce him to no-pressure exploration. It's not about romance or feelings—he's just doing the kid a favor.
Max is definitely not falling for this lonely, beautiful boy. No way.
And it's not like he can leave Jeremy all alone for the holidays. He'll bring him home to his family's maple syrup farm—strictly as friends since his parents have rules. No more fooling around. No more eager, breathless fun. No more making Jeremy shiver and blush with suggestive whispers in his ear. No more sweeter-than-sugar kisses. All nice. No more naughty.
But Jeremy's sleeping right across the hall, and Max wants him for himself. The twelve days of Christmas will last an eternity if they don't break the rules.
Shhh. No one has to know...

My Rating - 4.5 Stars!
This one starts fun, as Jeremy falls on the ice, with Max there to help him. Right away, the differences in the young men are front and center.
Jeremy's a shy freshman nerd, who's helpless when his glasses break. He's alone, has anxiety issues, hasn't made any friends, and has no where to go for Christmas. Then there's Max, a senior who's captain of the football team. He's popular, outgoing, and as sweet as can be to Jeremy.

Their random meeting leads to Jeremy finding the first person he can call a friend. With Max, Jeremy is able to find who he truly is, as well as explore his sexuality. With Jeremy's virgin status, their tale is full of wonderful first times. It doesn't take long for things to get hot though, with some steamy phone sex and lots of cum play, including some talk of felching.
Their tale has it's share of sad parts too, as my heart hurts for Jeremy and his family issues. Luckily for him, Max's family is fabulous and willing to accept and love him.
Fitting with his fun personality, Max appoints himself as Jeremy's fairy Godfather! But my favorite part is the way they just feel so damn comfortable together.
The writing is good, written in alternating 3rd person pov, and fully bringing these men to life. The author excels in combining sweet with sad, and steam with romance.
Merry Cherry Christmas is a tender, feel good college Christmas romance. This Keira Andrews read is sugary sweet and everything you could ask for. If you love Hallmark movies, make sure you read this gem!
