One grumpy patient. One unconventional nurse. Twenty-two reindeer later.
Things aren’t great for Xander Cole. It’s Christmas, he’s fractured his pelvis on a skiing trip he never wanted to go on, and his on/off boyfriend is most definitely off. No wonder he’s not exactly full of festive cheer.
Ferris Night isn’t having much luck either. His plan to take a break from work before starting a new job has been wrecked by a flooded flat. With nowhere to stay, he grabs the opportunity for a job as a live-in nurse with both hands. After all, how hard can it be?
Xander doesn’t need a nurse. Especially one who’s far too flirty, far too attractive, far too into Christmas, and far too good at getting his own way. But Ferris has never faced a challenge that couldn’t be overcome with a bit of charm and perseverance. It doesn’t matter how attractive Xander might be. He’s immune. Maybe.
As banter and sparring between the two men turn into more, a nurse might not be needed, but both men could be in for a fresh start to the new year.
A low angst 63k romantic comedy, which features snarky banter, a slow burn relationship, two men who can give as good as they get, an annoying ex, and a Star Wars nativity scene.

My Rating - 4 Stars!
Not So Silent Night is a delightful holiday romance by HL Day.
Xander and Ferris' tale is full of Christmas fun, snark, and plenty of feel good moments.
I adore Xander from the start, with his grumpy attitude as he's stuck alone during the holidays with an injury. Enter Ferris, who is hired to help nurse him back to health.
Omg. These two are night and day. Ferris is full of life and is the perfect person to push back against all of Xander's complaints.
I love the way these two develop their banter into caring for one another. Ferris is fabulous and is successful at bringing Xander to life.
Their story is full of flirty fun and quick wit. I enjoyed it all.
Not So Silent Night is a warm and lovely holiday romance. HL Day adds plenty of Christmas sweetness into this opposites attract Christmas romance. I would definitely recommend this one when you're in the mood for a quick holiday read.
