Patrick has been single since he broke up with his cheating ex almost a year ago. With Christmas looming, he’s resigned to spending it alone with only memories of happier times for company. When a business trip with a co-worker leaves them stranded in the Lake District due to heavy snow, it seems Patrick will have company for Christmas after all. It’s a shame his companion is Kyle, who’s undeniably attractive, but annoying as hell.
Aware of Patrick’s reluctant admiration, Kyle basks in the attention even though Patrick isn’t the type of man he normally goes for. Averse to relationships after being hurt in the past, Kyle enjoys the occasional hook up, but has given up on seeking anything more meaningful.
Stuck together, their antagonism escalates along with a heavy dose of sexual tension until it finally ignites. What starts as a Christmas fling soon feels like something special; but will their tentative connection melt away as the snow thaws? If they’re going to take a chance on finding happiness together, they’ll have to put their differences aside and learn to trust one another.
Contains: enemies-to-lovers, snowball fights, bickering, spanking, a cute dog, a wise old lady, mistletoe, and a happy ending (of course).
Some feuding-colleagues-to-lovers with a side of kink and holiday feels? Yes please!
Since breaking things off with his cheating ex, Patrick has been living a lonely life. To make matters worse, he has to put up with his annoying younger mentee.
Kyle is the opposite of Patrick - an outgoing party animal who prefers hookups over relationships. He knows Patrick finds him annoying, but he finds his tight-laced mentor equally insufferable.
I thought Kyle was a riot. He’s a total brat, but the kind you can’t help but love.
And Patrick would seem to agree.
When the two are snowed in together in a remote English village, it doesn’t take long for them to butt heads.
But the anger’s just hiding a different kind of tension - one that it doesn’t take long for the two MCs to begin exploring.
Let me just say - Kyle and Patrick are hot, hot, hot. The light kink was unexpected, but totally welcome!
While the snow rages outside and our two MCs find creative ways to get warm and cozy, their mutual dislike gradually melts away.
I really liked seeing how their assumptions of each other were challenged. Patrick realizes that despite Kyle’s antics, he has a heart of gold. And Kyle comes to appreciate why Patrick’s
And best of all, the two let themselves be vulnerable around each other. I won’t lie, I may have swooned a little bit.
Of course, not all is automatic sunshine and roses, but the happy ever after was perfect.
I also really liked the secondary character of Mrs. Wilcox.
Overall, ‘Stuck With You’ hit a lot of high notes for me, with a sweet and steamy romance and a strong dose of holiday cheer, and all of it in a quaint English country village. Recommended!
