Christmas Spirit Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 229 ratings

Dylan’s Cornish retreat wasn’t supposed to include a hot bloke and a cupid-playing ghost…

After tearing his Achilles tendon, recuperating by the sea sounds like a fantastic idea, and Dylan happily accepts his best mate’s offer to stay with him and his uncle for a few weeks. But he hadn’t counted on the uncle being smoking hot, or the fierce attraction that blossoms between them.

Swapping the busy streets of London for the easy pace of Cornish life is exactly what Gareth needs to move on with his own life. His new home requires a little TLC, but he’d expected that. What he hadn’t expected was the ghostly resident already living there.

A ten-year age gap isn’t the only issue standing between Dylan and Gareth. Their time together has an expiration date. By Christmas, Dylan will be back home in Bristol spending the holidays with his dad, leaving Gareth all alone. Luckily for them, a matchmaking Christmas Spirit has other ideas.

A Christmas MM romance featuring a meet-cute, pining, a meddling ghost, a teeny bit of angst, and a festive HEA.

    Christmas Spirit is the first I've read by this author. The writing style is reminiscent of a couple of my favorite authors, which is a definite plus.
    This is a sweet and sexy Christmas read that I’m sure I will read again, especially if Josh (Dylan’s best mate and Gareth’s nephew) gets his own book.
    The well-thought-out storyline and smooth flow kept me immersed in the story. The secondary characters added color and context to the piece and just a little something for the main characters to push against as they work towards their HEA.
    The ghostly aspect was like a cute prize that I enjoyed each time it appeared.
    I didn't think the age gap was an issue, but I did appreciate the author's take on how it would affect the older person in a burgeoning relationship. Gareth is a lovely character, full of warm feelings and fun, and is just an all-around good guy.
    Dylan is warm-spirited, easygoing, and a good match in temperament for Gareth. He is mature for his age but young enough to keep Gareth on his toes.
    Gareth and Dylan are a beautiful couple sharing a strong emotional attachment and passion that leads to a believable and satisfying HEA.
    I look forward to more from this author.

    Just on spot what I felt like for a Christmas Romance read! Well done! Such a feel-good and sweet and cute. Well written with nice characters and a friendly old lady matchmaker ghost and a romantic historical background story to boot. Nothing amiss, nothing missing, nothing to add, nothing too much. Just right!

    Christmas Spirit by Annabelle Jacobs is a new standalone holiday MM romance. Dylan has found himself injured right before the holidays and recuperating in the Cornish countryside. His best friend has found him the perfect place to recover and with this ideal location comes Josh’s handsome uncle, Gareth. Gareth never expects his nephew’s best friend to immediately appeal to him and struggles to keep his feelings at bay. Both men feel an intense attraction to each other but question if it’s okay to pursue each other due to Josh and the imminent end date of Dylan’s recovery/return to Bristol.

    This was a slow burn holiday romance with a little twist of small town life and a meddling spirit. Dylan is younger than Gareth and best friend’s with Gareth’s nephew Josh. This is a roadblock for both men as they don’t want anything happening between them to impact their relationships with Josh. Add in a small supernatural plot of a meddlesome matchmaking ghost and this low angst holiday story was fun. That being said it felt a little too drawn out for my taste and I struggled at times to feel the chemistry between Gareth and Dylan.

    3 stars for this sweet low angst holiday romance.

    This was such a sweet holiday read with a few mysterious happenings. The side characters are great. This is a must read story.
  • Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2022
    I enjoyed this so much, Gareth and Dylan were terrific characters. I love this type of English story and setting, like Garrett Leigh, Jay Northcote, J.L Merrow, etc. I, actually, could have done without the ghost aspect because the ghost wasn't freed from her house, but otherwise, great effort. Loved Gareth's neighbor.
