Ashton grew up with a drug addicted mother and, upon her death, was then raised by a violent, religious zealot grandmother. There is a lot happening in this story, but the part that spoke to me the most was Ashton’s journey. Frosty Pants appear here as side characters (Casey is Ashton and Walker’s third business partner), but you don’t need to be familiar with their story to enjoy this one and, as far as I can tell, the guys from Mr. Jingle Bells is the third book in Leta Blake’s Home for the Holidays series, but it works perfectly as a standalone. But trust is still not easy for Ashton given his traumatic past, and when he learns a secret about Walker’s history, it could derail everything the pair have built together. It seems like there is a chance for a real future for Walker and Ashton, and they make each other feel safe and cared for in a way neither has ever experienced. As the men start acting on their feelings, they each begin to consider whether they could make a relationship work between them.
But something about Ashton really sparks with Walker and there is a mutual attraction growing.
The men are getting along so well, they even cook up a plan to pose as fake boyfriends at Walker’s sister’s wedding in order to stir up some gossip and deflect the family’s judgmental heat away from Walker’s sister.Īshton is definitely not Walker’s usual type he is bisexual and the men he typically dates are country club golfer types like himself. Ashton doesn’t share his story with many people, but he begins to trust Walker and really open up. It doesn’t take long before the men become friends and Ashton begins to open up to Walker about his past and his abusive family. And Walker loves Ashton’s sunny presence and appreciates his company and having someone to look after. Ashton loves the warm and peaceful home Walker has created and he feels safe and cared for with him. But it doesn’t take long before they realize that they actually mesh quite well. However, when Ashton’s apartment is being fumigated and he needs a place to stay, Walker offers him a room at his house (with a little encouragement from their third business partner, Casey).Īt first, things are super awkward between the men, as neither really knows how to relate to the other.
The pair are so different on the surface that they end up intimidating each other. Ashton Sellers and Walker Ronson are partners in an advertising firm, but despite being in business together, neither man is particularly comfortable with the other.
