ONE LAST WISH

Home for the Holidays

Review

This tugged at every heartstring I had. Dealing with regrets and the idea of losing a loved one is something we can all relate to, and around the holidays that can heighten those feelings. But Alex addresses it with love, tenderness, and some fun, which keeps it from making it too sad. Instead, leaves you feeling peaceful and grateful.

Blair is an architect whose life has been caught up in the race to achieve his goals, create a successful practice, etc. Along the way, he’s let his relationship slide with his grandfather. When he’s brought back to the quaint town he loved as a child to see the man and help him with his wish list, he’s also introduced to the very sexy, kilt-wearing carer.

Angus love’s his life as a carer. Spending time with the people in his community, but especially William. What he doesn’t have time for is the big city grandson who he doesn’t like on principle.

The story of Angus and Blair joining forces to accomplish William’s wish list is equal parts cute, funny, loving, and sexy. It requires facing one’s mistakes and taking measures of the things that are important in life.

The more I sit with this one, the more I love it, and it makes any tears shed totally worth it!

Synopsis

Blair

Heading home for the holidays was the last thing I wanted to do. I had plans. Plans that didn’t involve visiting the back of beyond.

But a call from mum two weeks before the holidays put paid to said plans. Grandpa was sick and wanted to see me. He’d been a big part of my life growing up and I wouldn’t deny him that. He’s got a list too. Not a bucket list, he didn’t like that name.

He had a wish list and wanted my help.

What I didn’t expect, though, was the annoyingly cheerful Angus with his kilt, tattoos, and piercings. He was totally not my type

Angus

William Campbell was my best friend, even at the ripe old age of eighty-seven. We’d talk, play chess and talk some more. He’d boast about his high-flying grandson, Blair and I’d listen and nod. In the twelve months, I’d looked after William, I’d never seen him. He’d visited, just not when I was around, and to be honest, I was pleased about that. He was arrogant and selfish and didn’t seem to care one jot about his grandpa.

Now he’s here and I’m trying to hate him. Hate his perfect smile, and his warm brown eyes but he’s pushing all my buttons, and not in a bad way, and when William asks me to help Blair fulfill his wish list, who am I to say no?

One Last Wish is an MM Christmas standalone featuring a grumpy architect and a carefree carer. They come together over an old man's wish list, trying to bring a little light to his life, at the same time finding that opposites really do attract.
