Secret Santa by Sean Kennedy

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Zach and Shane are a young happy couple and this will be the first Christmas Zach will bring Shane home to meet his family. With all the other boyfriends Zach has never bothered to do so, since he knew that they weren't the One. But Shane is different, Zach knows that he loves him and that they will be always together, even if now, for the last of Christmas shopping, Shane is not with Zach. Truth be told Shane lately was pretty absent and Zach is wondering till the time he sees a very strange Santa in a department store, a Santa with Shane's eyes.

I like the story since it's both sweet and naughty. The first part in which Zach retells how he realized that he loves Shane is really tender, it was not a conscious realization, but almost an epiphany. The second part, with Zach harassing Shane in Santa Claus dress is so naughty that it's a real pleasure to read.

Zach and Shane are easy and full of life, they are really in love, but in a way I feel them as a "normal" couple; their love is not a rollercoast of feelings and so, I feel it more steady and long term fated than a full passionate love story. But don't get me wrong, the naughty part of the story is sexy and erotic. The only open point I have for the story, is Shane's profession: I believe he should be an actor or something, otherwise I can't imagine how he can be a Santa Claus only for the Christmas season without making Zach too suspicious.

Hi, thank you very much for the lovely review! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and for seeing them as a 'normal' couple which was something I really wanted to convey.
