Cruise for Christmas — Andrew Grey

...a speculative bit of fiction that has suspense, romance, supernatural forest creatures and a lot of sensuality as this fantasy tale of a young writer meeting an age old satyr slowly unfolds with a grace in narrative that is rare, and that manages the supernatural elements of the story with dexterity and integrity, speaking volumes about the quality of the Christmas Dreams collection. - Steve Williams, Suite 101

Henry is forward and pursues what he wants, but he does it in the most romantic and caring of ways.  I loved the character of Tim and watching him blossom is truly captivating.  This is a sweet romantic tale, with love blooming over the course of the cruise. - Enigmatically Emily

When Henry Gilmore is given a private stateroom on a gay cruise for a Christmas present, he has visions of cute party boys, hunky muscle gods, and breaking his run of bad luck when it comes to love. Things don't turn out quite as he planned, but sometimes Santa knows best and two out of three ain't bad.
