He just needs someone to teach him, and Max is ALL about helping Jeremy learn. This is a new adult novel (Jeremy is 19 to Max's 22), but it's pretty damn sexy. I also loved jealous Max (Jeremy's ploy with his one-time date Levi worked wonders!). Jeremy's weirdly distant parents are another story, however. I am so glad that homophobia wasn't an issue with the college boys. I loved the maple syrup farm setting and the cameo appearance by Nick and Hunter from Santa Daddy, another Keira Andrews holiday story I highly recommend. They actually do get on and want to get it on, but not under Max's parents' roof. Jeremy slips on ice and falls on his butt instead of laughing, Max walks Jeremy home, then offers to go with him to pick out a new pair of glasses (the original pair falling victim to Max's boot).

Jeremy is smart and EAGER, but his mouth gets in the way, namely his tendency to ramble.Įnter Max, who picks Jeremy off the ground. I love me a shy, nerdy virgin, especially one as awkward and endearing as Jeremy. *Copy provided in exchange for an honest review* Though this wasn't a home-run for my tastes, I would recommend it to friends who want to read a light holiday romance, which is more important this year than ever. I enjoyed the snowy Canadian setting and the maple syrup farm, the non-white MC, and Max's adorable family dynamics, but it never moved above just pleasant for me. The physical relationship also moved a little quickly for me (I prefer lots of sexual tension and buildup), but that's just personal preference. I get feeling unattractive, but it was every. I think I struggled with how incredibly insecure Jeremy acted all the time. However, I kept putting it down, and it took me over four days to finish (unheard of for a Keira Andrews book!). We get a shy virgin MC, a holiday romance, a jock/nerd dynamic, and a sweet love story. The story had everything that I normally eat up like ice cream. Merry Cherry Christmas was a perfectly nice Christmas story from one of my favorite authors, Keira Andrews, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I should have liked it more.
