When David, a single father, vows to get laid just once before the year ends, he doesn’t figure on losing his cell phone—and with it one very revealing picture. Lucky for him, his phone is found by a disarmingly handsome man who might be perfect for the kind of casual Christmas fling David is after.

Go-go dancer Craig never would have guessed that the guy with the cute cock shot would turn out to be a doctor. Or that he’d find himself lying about his night job and worrying David will find out the truth. To complicate matters, each of their hook-ups requires days of planning. Yet before he knows it, Craig has a new boyfriend, and possibly a whole new family.

David’s ready to dive head-first into something new, but if Craig’s going to commit, he’ll need to come clean about his job, his past, and—most of all—the naughty picture that drew him to David in the first place.

Warning: Contains a male exotic dancer and extremely intimate photography. May contain traces of Zumba, bad roommates, and sad childhoods. Call your doctor if after six hours you still can’t get the grin off your face.

I devoured this short novella. The premise was captivating as single-father David starts dating secret go-go dancer Craig. Craig’s simultaneous desire and fear of David and a family are compelling and a little heartbreaking since his foster care past has resulted in such profound hurt as an adult. The relationship progression was sexy and unrushed—until…until the emotional denouement when it felt totally rushed and nearly an afterthought to the sex. This was a really good novella and the absolute charming epilogue had me waffling between 3.5 and 4 frogs. This is well worth the short time investment and absolutely left me with a smile as the blurb promised.
