Zac never had a family of his own, but Rudy has enough to share.

Shy, inexperienced Rudy has a crush on Zac from the moment his new colleague walks through the door. On an office night out before Christmas, Rudy finds the courage to make a move, and they form a tentative bond. When he discovers Zac will be alone at Christmas, he invites Zac to come home with him.

Zac prefers to keep people at arm’s length. Yet when Rudy offers him a family Christmas it’s impossible to resist. With no parents of his own, Zac is pleasantly surprised to be welcomed by Rudy’s. The only drawback is that everyone assumes they’re a couple. Unwilling to disappoint Rudy’s mum and make Christmas awkward, they decide not to deny it.

It’s not a chore for Zac to pose as Rudy’s boyfriend, but the pretence makes him want things that scare him—things like a real relationship with Rudy. Zac’s suffered enough rejection in his life already and is afraid to risk his heart. If he can get over his past rejection and let Rudy inside his armour, he might get more for Christmas than he ever imagined.

 Review

I adore these holiday books this time of year. They help get me in the spirit and they are like warm hugs on cold nights. A Family for Christmas is exactly what you think it is. It’s about two men; one who has an amazing family and a ton of love around him and another who is alone and never had that or anyone. When Rudy invites Zac home for Christmas after a night of drinking I knew this was going to be amazing.

It’s told in duel POV so it was truly awesome to see inside both of their heads. Zac I was most curious about because he seemed massively antisocial and I really wanted to know his story. With each tradition that Zac witnessed and all the emotion running through him; my heart melted. Rudy and his family were Zac’s Christmas miracle and for Rudy his was Zac. 

There’s so much love and happiness in this story you can’t help but feel blissfully happy by the time you finish. 

It’s not a long story fairly quick actually but there was a good amount of story and it flowed really well. This is a great book to get you into the Christmas spirit!
