A Fortunate Blizzard

Secure in the knowledge that this book would make me cry, I read it anyway. I usually steer clear of books I know will make me cry, and just the synopsis of this one pushed my buttons with the whole he's dying and he meets the one and he wants but their time is limited and ... and I know myself well enough to know I would weep during this book. Well, I did, pretty much cried through the last forty percent, but I liked the book. (And it definitely has a happy ending, so that's good. I wouldn't have read it otherwise because I can take the angst getting there, but I can't take an angsty ending.)

This is a story of fated love arriving just in the nick-of-time. Trevor Morrison & Marcus Roberts meet when they are both almost dead: one figuratively and the other quite literally. So it's a Christmas miracle that they meet and love alters the paths they were on and what a sweet detour it is.

I won't go into details but I very much liked that the way in which Trevor's problem is solved is not at all what I expected but rather showed how just meeting Trevor changed Marcus' life in every way good even if they never met again. But of course this is a romance and a Christmas themed one to boot so a HEA is in the horizon and an earned on too. Perhaps too sweet for some tastes but I'm making an exception ‘cause it was a Christmas read and a well done one.

my 2016 “read” of this was the audio by [a:Nick J. Russo|8141120|Nick J. Russo|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]. Perfect.
