From the Dreamspinner Press 2018 Advent Calendar (Warmest Wishes) Mosquitoes and Mistletoe by Ren Holly | Cat's Review & #giveaway @Dreamspinners

Celebrating the end-of-year holidays doesn't always mean sleighs, snow, and snuggling to ward off the cold. How about making merry when it's just as warm (or hot) outside as inside romantic hearts? Twinkle lights in palm trees, unity cups on the sideboard, bonfires in the backyard, eggnog by the pool, and no chimneys to be found... just the warmest wishes of the holidays bringing lovers together around the world.

A huge part of the world celebrates end-of-the-year holidays that aren't anything like Bing Crosby's "White Christmas." In the southern hemisphere, it's not even winter!

Holiday reading fun! More than 400,000 words of romantic fiction in 31 stories that would sell individually for a total of $89.69.

After Andrew’s boyfriend dumps him just before Christmas, he decides to take a job far, far away from city life. It’s a dishwashing job on a remote island off the coast of Georgia. Expecting sunshine, palm trees, and some quality alone time, Andrew is surprised to find alligators, mosquitoes, rattlesnakes, and Garrett—a devilishly handsome naturalist. Andrew desperately tries to resist Garrett’s charm, because a twice-broken heart before Christmas is just not an option. Besides Andrew’s new friend Anna might already have a thing for Garrett.

But where do Garrett’s interests lie, and will Andrew find out before he’s surprised by a visit from his ex?

Cat gives this one 5 Meows...

Andrew signed up for an island resort job to get over his break up with his ex Ace.  The more he thinks about it the more he sees that the two years he thought he was in love was probably not. He makes friends quickly with the staff especially Garrett and Anna. He soon finds out Garrett is also gay and interested as well.  Even though the island is remote and mosquito infested he enjoys the company and the work. But a twist comes that could ruin everything, his job and his new relationship with Garrett.

I really liked this story a lot.  It has a lot going on.  Not only a romance but a touch of suspense and drama. It is a very engaging, holiday story.
