What do you call being stranded with your brother’s best friend? A Recipe for disaster? Or a dream come true?

Ethan Wang
College is supposed to be my chance to start over. To leave high school behind and focus on my studies to become a vet. Then, I board a plane on winter break and find myself seated next to my brother’s best friend. The same guy I had a huge crush on even though he always seemed to have it out for me.

It should be a quick flight filled with awkward small talk, but plans change when the plane’s engine fails and we have to land in the middle of nowhere. After a sequence of ill-fated events, we’re forced to share a B&B with only one bed. Trapped in a room with a man I've hidden my feelings from for years... What's the worst that could happen?

Kingsley Sharp
I usually get what I want, thanks to my mastery at charming my way into anyone’s heart. That, however, hasn’t been the case with my best friend’s brother. We got off on the wrong foot, and I want nothing more than to win him over.

Now with us stranded together, my chance has come. Stuck in a small town full of snow drifts and holiday cheer, I’m determined to use this disaster to make this a magical holiday neither of us will forget.

The Holiday Disaster is a standalone MM romance with college-aged characters. It’s a fun blend of sweet and steamy moments featuring brother's best friend, one bed, first love, slow burn, and opposites attract tropes

Great story

I really enjoyed Ethan and Kingsley's story. They've had a crush on each other for years and finally get honest with each other. Very sweet.

This was a cute little read and I enjoyed the setting of Wintertown, along with the doves of destiny, very much. Kingsley and Ethan have known each other for roughly 10 years and it has been 10 years of misunderstandings and poor communication. When they are finally in a situation alone, they're forced to communicate and share their feelings. I was worried that they wouldn't be able to get everything worked out before the end of the book. Then when everything seems to have worked out and there's a little under halfway to go, I got really worried about a dreaded 75% break up. I'm pleased to say, they learned how to talk to each other and there's no drama that happens at the 75% mark. While I enjoyed elements of the story, I wasn't in love with anything. Both of the characters were kind of bland and I was more interested in Austin and Jim. Their book is definitely on my TBR.

The Holiday Disaster Review

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2022

This was a cute, holiday romance. It was a quick read, so the romance came on really fast, but it worked because the two MCs have known each other since childhood, so the fact that they got together so fast wasn't too far fetched. I look forward to the next book of the series. I have my suspicions on who will be the main lovebirds in that story too, so I'm eager to see what will happen in their story.

So amazing how misconstrued ideas can ruin people's lives for so long - but the when love causes confrontation and love wins the day - how beautiful it is

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2023

I enjoyed this M/M romance story with all of the characters. The two main characters were Ethan Wang and Kingsley Sharp.

Ethan Wang is in college to become a vet. He decides to visit family for the holidays. While on the plane home he see his brother's best friend. He has a huge crush on this guy. But the guy doesn't know. He also think that the guy hates him. Also during the trip home the plane has some trouble and has to land.

Kingsley Sharp is in college. He decides to visit family for the holidays.
While on the plane he see his best friend brother. The guy sets next to him. He is happy to see him but the guy doesn't want to talk yo him. While on the trip home to see family the plane start to have trouble and they have to land. Now he struck with the guy.

This was a fun story to read. It had action, adventure and drama throughout. It had a few giggles throughout.

I received a complimentary copy via Booksprout. This is my honest unbiased opinions.

I really liked that Ethan and Kingsley were forced into a situation where they had to spend time together and talk to each other. It was the only way for these two to figure out all their missteps. Oh, and when they did?! Adorable!! My heart went kersplatt. I love that this was such an easy story. Is that the right word? This is a truly low angst book. I know everyone’s definition of angst is different, but I kind of look at it like a meter. This was very low angst, it was a truly easy read for me that made me super happy and just left me feeling kind of like that Colbie Caillat song 🫧Bubbly🫧.

Ethan is headed home for Christmas from college when he finds himself seated next to his brother’s best friend. This shouldn’t be a problem, they’ve known each other for years, except Kingsley hates him and Ethan has had a crush on him since they met when he was 9.

Kingsley has known that Ethan hates him because he has always avoided him whenever they are in the same place. That still doesn’t keep Kingsley from wanting to get closer to Ethan, as he has wanted to do for years. He hopes that might happen on the plane as they are stuck side by side for 5 hours, but no such luck.

Things change when the plane develops engine trouble and they are forced to land in a small town. Accommodations are few, and they finally get A room at a B&B where they will need to share a bed. Being thrown together leads to better communication, helping to correct the miscommunication of the last 10 years, and opening a path to maybe getting what both want.

This is a sweet holiday story with one shy young man and another more confident one trying to correct what they thought were truths while on a forced travel layover.

Best holiday love story

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2022

I have adored every book by this author. This story did not disappoint. It made me laugh, made my heart swoon, and occasionally tear up because of Ethan’s insecurities. Ethan and Kingsley are the sweetest ever. This wasn’t overly Christmas but had the spirit of the season. You got to see a glimpse into the past which helped allow great character development. This story was the perfect pace and left me so anxious for the next book in this series. 10/10 a must read.

A nice story of two young men stranded in a strange place due to a snowstorm. Ethan is Kingsley best friends brother, and he has been obsessed with him for years. Ethan thinks Kingsley Hayes him and puts up barriers. The weekend changes this. Love the concept. However, I felt it was too long. Lovely HEA.
