Can the magic of Christmas, and the soft voice of a man who has seen too much, show Bryan a future where anything is possible?

Bryan Graham is shocked to find he’s inherited a hunting cabin in north-central Pennsylvania. From his grandfather of all people; a stubborn man who went out of his way to make Bryan’s childhood miserable. He’d vowed never to go back to the small, rural community of Kutter’s Summit, not that he didn’t have fond memories of the place. It’s just that he’d rather be celebrating a quiet Christmas back in Nashville with his cat and his contracts. 

A couple of weeks of hunting, cleaning, and handyman work, and he can hopefully put the place up for sale and move on with his life. He never expected to find his childhood friend Parson Greer living in the cabin. Parson is no longer a boy, but a handsome, wary man consumed by the demons of a faraway desert war. When a rekindled friendship shifts into something deeper, Bryan finds himself lost in emotions that a workaholic like him has never made time to experience before.

REVIEW

Review by: Jennifer

(3.5 Stars)

When Bryan's grandfather died, he has to return to Pennsylvania, a place he left after high school with hopes of not going back.  Going back opens up the old memories and hurt that Bryan had pushed down, the hurt of his grandfather not supporting Bryan when he came out, in fact the loving grandfather he once had changed to bigoted and hateful. When Bryan finds out that he was left a rustic cabin and property, his first instinct is to sell it and donate the profits to charity. Bryan decides to go up and see what shape the cabin is in and is determined to fix things up and get it ready to sell. Finding Parson, a guy he went to school with, living in the cabin throws Bryan for a loop. After finding out what little he can about Parson's past and the obvious PTSD he has from his time overseas, Bryan decides that he wants to help his friend.  When Parson confesses that he once had feelings for Bryan, the two take the new found friendship to another level. Bryan has been clear from day one, his life is back in the city and NOT in the woods with no cell signal. But when feelings get involved will Bryan change his mind and stay, or will he convince Parson to leave the quiet and go to the city with him?

This for me was just ok read. I love the story of going back home and the rekindled friendship turning more trope. There were some aspects that I didn't care for, but that’s just me. This has a small bit of drama, loads of Christmas, and a few naughty bits. I give this 3.5 stars.
