Stardust

Average rating4
Duncan is an ocean from home over the holidays and expects to spend them alone. To his pleasant surprise, one of his European co-workers, Georg, befriends him and includes Duncan in the holiday traditions of his homeland: cutting a Christmas tree under starry skies at Georg’s country estate, decorating it at the family’s city home, and shopping at the Christmas market in Munich. Both men are lonely and realize they have much in common. But Georg’s life is in Germany and Duncan’s is in Boston. With the project they’re working on nearing completion, any chance for more than a holiday fling seems as elusive as stardust. A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2014 Advent Calendar package "Celebrate!".

This is a sweet contemporary romance story about an American scientist who falls in love with a German engineer. It's very short, but it feels complete, with a lot of details about Christmas in Germany. The main characters aren't unique, but the characterizations are good and consistent. Some of the language is a little bit overdone, with a lot of metaphors in the sex scenes. I listened to the audiobook, and it was a great way to spend a few hours and get into the holiday spirit.
