Can dating via an app turn into something more when Ollie hides a major part of himself—how overweight he is?
An invitation to an all-expenses paid cruise of a lifetime from his best friend, Leeson, who is getting married, is really exciting for Ollie. Or it would be if the man he was sharing a cabin with wasn't the same man he was secretly dating online. The one man who he wants to get naked with—but doesn't because of how he feels about how he looks.
Beckett finds a boy who is the perfect Christmas gift: Ollie. A visit home to Sweet Haven and Beckett discovers who Ollie is, just not what he looks like. He honors Ollie's decision to keep his appearance from Beckett over the following months as their relationship deepens. That is until Garrett asks him to be a groomsman at his wedding. Kismet, or the universe, his friend unknowingly gives Beckett the perfect opportunity to prove Ollie is the boy for him.
Now all he has to do is convince Ollie that the size of someone's waistline isn't what's important, but how generous their heart is.
This book is part of A Little Christmas: Season Three multi-author series. Each book in A Little Christmas is a standalone where every little is silly, unique, lovable, and downright adorable, so why not read them all?

Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!
Sometimes, Ms Sayle writes dark and deadly, sometimes things are just plain weird (rhubarb!) and sometimes, they are so delightfully cute and warm and fuzzies that the world is a brighter place.
This book falls into the last category, and I bloody loved it!
Ollie and Beckett meet online, and their relationship blooms over time. But Ollie will not let Beckett see him properly. Ollie is scared that Beckett will catch one look at him and run far away. But Beckett is far deeper than Ollie thinks, and the boy just needs to give Beckett a chance to prove that. Leeson's wedding cruise is that time.
I loved that Ollie and Beck got to know each other over time, their feelings brewing for the better part of a year. It meant that when they did meet, it was more about getting Ollie to see just how much he meant to Beckett, and how much Beckett wanted to be Ollie's Daddy, if only he'd let him.
I loved that there was an overlap with Denton and Vic's book, Cruising Right Into Love. This book takes place alongside that one, on the cruise.
I loved how the focus of this book was NOT about the physical side of their relationship, but more about the emotional one. There are smexy times, but I found them very much low-key and fade to grey, rather than up-in-yer-face type scenes. Loved it, to be honest.
This is part of the 3rd A Little Christmas series, a multi author series. I haven't read the others, but it's not necessary to really enjoy this one.
So much love in this book, and it hits all the warm and fuzzies and too stinking cute and low angst spots and I bloody loved it!

Where does one start with about what I do?
I’m a writer, but I’m sure you guessed that by now if you’re reading this, hey?
What you might not know is I’m a little quirky, live in my pj’s most of the time and have cake Saturdays with my sisters every week. I dedicate a little of my time to taking care of my grandbabies and on the dedicated writing days, I like to write an eclectic mix of romance, suspense and paranormal fantasy. In the main, I’ve written gay romance but I’m branching out under another the pen name in the future, so watch this space.
I’ve got a passion for books like you would not believe and it led me down this path and now I’ve over 29 books released and heading towards releasing a whole lot more. The way my head is I never know where I’ll be headed next. I hope you’ll find a little joy in my words and follow me to see where the journey takes me and you.
If you’re interested at some point in 2021 I’ll be writing under the name JP Paton which will be F/M crime and Fantasy two of my favourite things. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled
