Ménage stories are always a bit hard to believe with three people coming together and not having jealousy issues.  Ms. Butler addresses those very real issues and creates a sense of believability to make this an immensely satisfying story featuring three very likable people.Hockey player Leo and Garrett used to share women, and each other, over ten years ago until Leo's worry over the world finding out about his love for Garrett had him leaving.  Garrett moved on with Brianna but after ten years of marriage both realize that there's something missing.  A Christmas vacation with Leo leads to emotional truths that no one can hide behind any longer where each participant has to put aside worries about what others think and accept that nothing is more important than love in whatever form it occurs.Ms. Butler created a super steamy story that flowed along nicely giving equal time to each person and each of their sexual encounters.  The encounters between Leo and Garrett were just as loving and combustible as those between Bri and Garrett and Bri and Leo.  These scenes were sweat-inducing and had this reader reaching for water.  While these scenes took up a large part of the story there was still ample time spent on addressing and resolving feelings of jealousy each partner felt at one point or another throughout the story.  The resolution of these feelings seemed simplistic and occurred late in the story so felt a bit rushed but was no less satisfying.Those who enjoy f/m stories as well as m/m stories will find this short story to be everything they're looking for.  There's good character interaction and sweaty and erotic sexual encounters that put an interesting spin on the Christmas carol this story is named after and will leave you with many naughty dreams just in time for Christmas.
