Review: A Merry Christmas for Art… and His Tentacles by Amy Bellows & Shannon Mae
SYNOPSIS:
Dean
When cryptids came out as living among us, there was definitely a settling in period, but now having a loch ness monster as your neighbor and a bigfoot as your security guard at work is just par for the course. Luckily for me, I happen to work with the sweetest, sexiest cephalopod in the entire building. Unfortunately for him, his people skills aren’t the greatest. When our harpy boss demands that I teach him how to interact with people, I’m only too happy to take up the job. I can teach him all about the human holiday of Christmas while giving him important people skills. If our lessons happen to look like dates, well… I won’t complain. And maybe I’ll get those sexy tentacles wrapped around me before too long.
Art
It’s embarrassing that my boss assigned someone to teach me people skills. It’s also hopeless. If learning how to interact with human beings was something I could learn in a class, I would have done so by now. I’m an excellent student. But hanging out with Dean Miller isn’t so bad, even if my tentacles have a mind of their own and won’t stop touching him. He doesn’t mind my awkwardness the way other people do, and he doesn’t mind my tentacles either. His easy acceptance makes me want things that I’m not used to wanting. I wonder what he would do if I asked for more than people lessons?
REVIEW:
This was a quick, fluffy, wholesome Christmas romance, with a monster twist. The story was an effortless read, Art and Dean quickly find themselves falling for each other. A dash of forced proximity is all it takes to get their romance moving. Things progressed quickly and these two were both sticky sweet and sizzling. The whole tentacles aspect was just an added bonus.
Around 70% the story started to drag out a little, things could have wrapped up sooner than they did. For that I found my interest fading and I struggled a little to finish but did. It was a nice Christmas romance to start the holiday season.
