Mr. Frosty Pants (Home for the Holidays #1)Mr. Frosty Pants by Leta Blake
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Everything about this was awesome. Second chances, friends to lovers, angst, longing, heartbreak. It was all there and so well done.

Casey and Joel were best friends growing up, but they kept secrets from each other. Namely, their sexual preferences, but also the abusive families they were living with. But now they are all grown up and are coming to terms with the future and what they want.

Casey is home for Christmas from NYU with only one semester left. He has an idea of what he wants to do with his life, but it doesn't exactly mesh with what his father wants. And he's tried to threaten him before with completely cutting him off, so he's attached by strings that's he's been afraid to cut.

When he sees Joel for the first time in years, all of the feelings he had for the man have come back full force and now he's realizing it was love then and it still is. But Joel doesn't want his poor, lonely, useless life for Casey. Casey has the ability to have it all and he wants just that for him.

This book was so beautifully written. I kept having to put it down and take a breath. The exchanges between Casey and Joel were so intense and heartbreaking and hopeful. They truly bared their souls to each other and Leta Blake's words created so many emotions. I was very impressed.

I fell for Casey and Joel hard and fast. I wanted the happily ever after for them so badly and I was not let down. This kept me in suspense and I absolutely could not put it down. What a tremendous story of love prevailing and strength of trust.
