Review: Too heavy for a Christmas novella

Rating: 2.75I enjoy a good ménage storyline and I have had the pleasure of reading some really great books that handle the difficult of a ménage story really well. Unfortunately, I don’t think a Christmas novella is the best place to delve into how difficult a ménage relationship truly is. This story was a tad bit heavy and unbelievable for a Christmas story. It would have been great to just deal with the second chance love part of things and leave the heavy stuff to another fuller story.The sexy times were super-hot, but everything else seemed rushed and out of whack. Hunter didn’t always seem into trying to make things work, but then it was like an x-rated after school special where his best friends Kat and Liam peer pressure him into agreeing to a relationship. I really didn’t think that after 10 years of not talking to each other, Liam and Kat would just drop everything to follow Hunter anywhere he might get stationed. And I didn’t really believe that Hunter would put his career, that he loved, as a Marine on the line for two people he hadn’t talked to or seen in so long.I am curious to see how things work out for them, but I’m not sure I’ll check out the sequel. I enjoyed the sexy parts of this book, but the rest just really didn’t work for me. I’m really not sure I liked any of the characters, except maybe Hunter. I felt like he really kind of got pushed into things in this story and I don’t really feel like they were things he wanted.Arc provided by the publisher via Netgalley
