Description
Opposites attract in this holly, jolly romantic comedy and discover there is more to life than casual hookups and work.
When Sandy Holiday arrives in the sleepy hamlet of Mayfield, he wants two things this winter, a burly man to keep him warm and a job to see him through the new year. But his interview with prickly Patrick McCormick is as uncomfortable as an icicle to the foot. Unfortunately, the only gig available is as his elf!
Although who could blame Patrick for acting like he received a lump of coal in his stocking? His morning started with firing a drunk photographer, and begging for a Christmas miracle to save his family’s business from a box store conglomerate.
Sandy leaps at the chance to show Patrick that he’s the perfect elf for the job. He creates dazzling online ideas to keep Patrick’s store afloat, bringing the two closer. Until Sandy discovers his upcoming photography job is with the same grinch-like corporation that owns the superstore.
Will Sandy overcome his fear of being in a loving long-term relationship? Or will Patrick surrender the store that has consumed his life for a chance at romance with Sandy?
Fast Holiday is the second book in the Fast Love queer romantic comedy series. Kerry Lockhart’s holiday story has charming characters, a big romantic gesture—and Moonshine, the dashing dog in antlers. Bundle up with a steaming cup of hot cocoa for this toasty tale of love in a small town.

Before I begin, I would like to thank Kerry Lockhart for allowing me to read a Net Galley ARC of her upcoming book, Fast Holiday, which will be available on July 17th, 2024.
Sandy Holiday needs a job to hold him over until his new one starts, and he wouldn’t mind having fun with a burly man either. When he meets Patrick in Mayfield, a peaceful hamlet, the only job that Patrick has to offer him is for Sandy to be an elf. Patrick has a had a rough morning dealing with his family’s business and a drunk employee, but Sandy is charming and offers a lot of ideas. But as pressure for the store to succeed and Sandy’s discovery about his future job, can Sandy reach for a wonderful long-term relationship that he has never had before? Can Patrick realize that work isn’t the only thing that should fulfill his life, and that maybe starting a new chapter with Sandy might be part of the life he wants?
This book was fantastic. You have Sandy, a sassy and charming young photographer that is dog-sitting for his best friend as he tries to make enough money during the holidays. You have Patrick, a young man that manages his parents’ store and spends most of his days doing stuff for work. Moonshine is adorable. The banter between Sandy and Patrick was funny and sweet. I appreciated how complex Lockhart’s characters were and the moments of vulnerability they shared with each other, not only between Sandy and Patrick, but also between the young men and their respective families. Overall, if you like complex characters, humor, spice, cute dogs, communication and sweet romance, then I would highly recommend this book.
