The last thing I expected to get for Christmas was kidnapped…

Ari: I also didn’t expect to escape, get amnesia, and wash up on a reclusive millionaire’s private beach.

I didn’t expect that millionaire to turn out to be insanely-hot, ex-actor Holden Amundsen, who fled Hollywood years ago after a scandal.

And I definitely didn’t expect famously straight Holden Amundsen to not be quite so straight after all—at least not when he’s in bed with me.

Talk about holy nights...

But when pictures of us kissing end up online, more than Holden’s reputation is at stake. Holden promises he’ll protect me when my kidnappers come calling, but I’m more worried about my heart.

Holden says what we have can’t last, but I know love when I feel it. So how do I convince him that finding each other is a Christmas miracle worth fighting for?

Sea Kissed is part of the MM Fairy Tale Romance series. All books are completely standalone and are modern retellings of classic fairy tales with a gay romance twist. 

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Spencer Spears Sea Kissed is a delightful modern day fairy tale. It's fabulous and is definitely worth a read!

Ari is on the run, but when he's washed up on a beach, he has amnesia. Luckily for him, Holden is there to both save him and care for him.

It's a great story, as both men have complicated backstories, and both are hiding. I appreciate the way both men have some mental damage and the way they work through it. With some forced proximity, the two get to know one another, and eventually care for each other. In the end, both are trying to save and protect the other. 

The opposites attract aspect is wonderfully explored. There's an age gap, and some major personality differences. I always love a good quiet and withdrawn man meeting a talkative and outgoing one. 

Best of all though is a cat named Frog, who will have you laughing out loud. 

Their story is certainly sweet, with plenty of humor, as well as some major dirty mind moments. So much fun. There are some wonderful secondary characters who you'll fall for, as well as some twists and turns to keep you on the edge at times. 

Written in alternating 1st person pov, we get to know both characters well. Both are complex men, with well developed backgrounds. The light action and danger add a good element to the story. And there's definitely some heat involved, with a little bit of a daddy kink. 

Sea Kissed is a fantastic modern day retelling of The Little Mermaid. Spencer Spears does a great job switching things up for a unique take on the classic fairytale. I love it all!
