About this listen
Nick: Team Maelstrom is my family as much as the family who raised me. That includes Matt, my partner in crime, and the closest I have to a soulmate. We get each other, and that’s all we’ve ever needed. But there’s a part of me that won’t be silent, the part that wants so much more with Matt. Yeah, I’m in love with my best friend, and I had no idea a fun family Christmas would change everything.
Matt: Nick is my best friend, brother in arms, and so much more. We’ve been through a lot together, in and out of the army. I didn’t have a family growing up, so Team Maelstrom and Nick’s family have become mine. I love everything about Christmas and I wasn’t going to pass up the chance of spending a snow-covered Christmas holiday with them. I certainly wasn’t expecting to find out Nick had been in love with me for years, but it was a bigger surprise for him to find out that maybe, it wasn’t all in vain.
Come and celebrate a romantic fun Christmas with decorations galore, snow-covered scenery, meddling sisters, and a slightly drunk father…who really should learn to keep his mouth shut!

I know I can be a grumpy bastard, and I’m not the easiest man to deal with, but you’d think my best friend would trust me. We don’t keep secrets, even about our love lives. That’s what I thought until I found out Dean was seeing someone. I don’t like it...don’t ask me why. But there’s more to the story than I thought, and now I have to deal with feelings I didn’t even know were possible for me.

It’s really hard to pretend like life is normal when you’re staring a monster in the eyes, though he’s both tempting and irritating in his human form. I put my days as a hunter behind me, unable to cope with the death and pain anymore, to become an upstanding citizen and for what? To assist Lake, a man who claims he’s not a monster but keeps talking about me like I’m edible and–even worse–wants to woo me?

Buying a house was supposed to be a good investment. Too bad I bit off more than I can chew. Between my job at the bank and my utter lack of home improvement skills, I’m in way over my head. Then a friend suggests I hire a handyman. Enter Tyler. Tyler is down on his luck after a recent divorce, and we strike a deal that he fixes my house while I give him room and board as part of his pay. He’s the perfect roommate, amazing at his job, and he quickly becomes one of my closest friends. But there’s something there, something I’ve never felt for another man before.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 201
Between running a garage full of beefed-up gear-head mechanics and bailing my idiot brother out of trouble every other week, the last thing I have time for is a relationship. I’ve tried it too many times, and the ridiculous reasons I always find to end it have become a running joke around the garage. But I’ve learned my lesson. No. More. Boyfriends. I don’t care how many times Porter falls asleep drunk in my bed or how cute he looks covered in oil smears while I teach him how to fix up the vintage car he has rusting away in his garage; I’m not going to fall for him.

And that was before Callum showed up. Callum figures he can push through the rest of the summer, never expecting two kids, a host of friends, and his growing feelings for Rupert to derail everything he has ever believed about what he wanted, and what he could have.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 567
When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

"Just You and Me..."
The remarkable range of narrator Michael Ferraiuolo is on full display here, with distinct voices, on-point accents, and very good female voices. He made listening an absolute pleasure, and I especially liked Nick's Southern accent.
Being new to the series, I was a little lost at the start of this story because it felt like being bombarded with characters and relationships I should already know. But, once the focus moves off-base and squarely onto Nick and Matt as they spend Christmas with Nick's delightful family, it's terrific.
Nick and Matt are about as close as best friends can be, sharing an apartment and serving in the same military unit, but Nick has a secret. He's secretly in love with his best friend, despite never really being attracted to men, other than Matt.
Matt's easy acceptance of "you and me" - his go-to reassurance to Nick - and his eager willingness to pursue more with him (once the initial shock wears off) tempers this from being a super angsty coming out romance. Nick has enough inner angst for the both of them, and Matt is a welcome balance to that.
It's all very loving, supportive, exploratory, and super steamy from there, with some forced proximity and Christmassy goodness in the mix. Overall, a recommended listen, even if new to the Men of Fort Dale series.

Finally.
Matt and Nick. What can I say besides finally?
Nick is insecure in his attraction to his best friend. Thinking it would be better to keep his mouth shut than risk his friendship, that's what he does. Until Matt and Nick go to Nick's family's house for Christmas. Mettling relatives and alcohol have a tendency to make lips loose and oblivious Matt is smacked in the face with a truth he never seen coming. But just bc Matt's on board with trying Nick is still haunted that everything will end.

A amazing Holiday story
I felt like a holiday story so I selected this book. It was so good that I stayed up a extra few hours. The characters, Nick and Matt, just come alive as you listen to this book. Nick’s sisters are what you would expect meddling sisters. It is easy to see how much they love their brother and want him to be happy.
The complete “Men of Fort Dale” series is so well written that once you get started, you will want to listen/read all of the books in the series. Their are 6 books in the series. I enjoyed this book so much that I immediately downloaded and started to listen to “Jingle my Bells”. I had several things to get done so I listened to “Jingle My Bells “ while standing in line, stuck in slow traffic, and while shopping. It was a long day so I finished the book just as I was going into my apartment. If you want or need some holiday cheer, then these two books are for you. But don’t stop there. Romeo Alexander is a very talented writer so check out some of his other books.

friends to lovers
One of my favorite tropes is friends to lovers and the holidays make it even more special. I was so happy to see Nick and Matt finally acting on their feelings. They are great guys and deserve the best. Lots of feels and warm and fuzzies. I loved it. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did an excellent job bringing the characters and story to life.

Sweet Cute Fun!
I wasn't sure what to expect, when the first few chapters had the men of Fort Dale feeling melancholic, especially referring back to book 2 (Trust Me, I Hate You), but when the focus switched to Nick and Matt, any whiff of angst disappeared under a cloud of fluffy feels. I loved Matt and Nick's story - if anything, it was too short! :)
Great narration by Michael Ferraiuolo - did a wonderful job giving each charater a distinct voice, especially William, Nick's dad was hilarious!

a sweet Christmas story
this was my first foray into the Men of Ft Dale but I don't feel like I was missing out with this story. there were mentions of characters in sure were featured in the series before, but Matt and Nick took center of the story beautifully and I was invested without any backstory. This was a very sweet, happy Christmas story that is the audio version of hot chocolate. I really enjoyed this and could have hung out with the guys and Nick's family for hours.
