The Australian bush. A Christmas with friends. A chance to mend a broken heart.

Steve Hayes is spending Christmas break away with a group of friends. He's determined to put his two-timing ex-boyfriend in the past and enjoy his week away. When he finds that Corey Oh, the guy he's always admired, is invited too, he's equally thrilled and terrified.

But Steve knows there's no way someone as wonderful as Corey, who could have any man he wanted, would be interested in him.

However, when fate throws them together in a misadventure with a Christmas pudding, it looks as if Steve's dreams can come true.

... This is an endearing story of great friendships and love, in which a Christmas pudding is the motivation. I really liked Corey and Steve and the heartwarming end of the story. Thanks, Nic, you are great at creating flawed but real characters. (5 stars)

Kat on Love Bytes Reviews wrote:

... I know I keep saying it but I love these Christmas/Advent/Holiday novellas. They brighten my day and people have been asking why the big smile on my face. I then tell them about the little “treat” I just opened and read. Nic Starr has also added a wide smile on my face. Her delightful Christmas novella was just what I needed. (4.5 stars)
