A Boyfriend for Christmas by Jay Northcote Blog Tour

Archie's posh parents want him to meet a nice girl—how can he tell them he's fallen for a bad boy instead?

Closeted, innocent and lonely, Archie Arandale longs for someone special in his life. A Christmas party organised by his wealth management company is the last place he expects to meet the man of his dreams.

With his leather jacket, tattoos, and piercings, Cal Turner turns heads the moment he walks through the door. He definitely isn't looking for a boyfriend, but Archie's hesitant charm captures his attention, and sneaking off during the party to have a little fun can only make a dull evening more interesting.

After their reckless and thrilling encounter, Archie is keen for more experience and Cal is happy to oblige. The need for secrecy means this can only be a casual fling, yet as they spend time together in the run up to Christmas, their feelings become more intense than either of them had bargained for. How can Archie find the courage to tell his family about Cal, when Cal's the exact opposite of the 'nice girl' they've been hoping for?

Contains: A closeted virgin, a tattooed biker, class differences, a dramatic coming out, a very inappropriate Christmas gift, and a happy ending (of course).

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆☆
I really, really enjoyed this book. It is certainly one of my favourite Christmas books this year.

Archie is a young man who we see repressed by his wealthy, socialite parents, currently at a business event. So when tattooed, leather jacket wearing Cal comes in as a client guest, the evening takes a distinct turn for the better. Best of all, it is clearly mutual.

I loved both of them, how they think, how they are together, how they wish things could be, and the lengths they will go to for each other – all of this is written beautifully. But as well as them, there are some really special people who make all the difference to the richness of the story. I won't say more than Lottie is the heroine for me as she does a three-hour round trip for her brother. But there are others who are also very important to the plot.

My advice is that you get hold of a copy and treat yourself to an early Christmas gift. You will not regret it. Thank you, Jay Northcote, for a little treasure of a book, which is now on my to be reread list.

Jay lives just outside Bristol in the West of England. He comes from a family of writers, but always used to believe that the gene for fiction writing had passed him by. He spent years only ever writing emails, articles, or website content.

One day, Jay decided to try and write a short story—just to see if he could—and found it rather addictive. He hasn’t stopped writing since.

Jay writes contemporary romance about men who fall in love with other men. He self-publishes under the imprint Jaybird Press.
