Rebound Remedy by Christine d'AboMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
First Cole is on his way to a romantic trip for the holidays with his boyfriend. While in the airport, the boyfriend's ex shows up and PROPOSES. And Cole's boyfriend ACCEPTS. Talk about being dumped and in one of the most awful ways.
After Cole heads home and as Christmas draws closer, Cole decides to get outside and get some air. So he heads down to his favorite bar McGregor's for a beer and some socialization.
Owen Mcgregor, the owner of the bar, notices Cole and can tell something is wrong. So he proposes that he and Cole engage in some fun activities in the twelve days leading up till Christmas in order to cheer Cole up. With Cole still feeling the reeling pain from being dumped and Owen wanting to be a friend to Cole, even though he's attracted to him, the two embark on an extremely romantic journey.
Overall, the book is close to perfect. As in perfectly sweet. Cole and Owen are really adorable together. I picture Owen as more of the flannel wearing, rugged type and I picture Cole as more of the "wouldn't be caught dead in skinny jeans but fashionable" type.
I loved both characters. They're written with a ton of honestly. As in, this is something that could really happen. It wouldn't happen in the short time frame of 12 days but it could definitely happen in real life.
There's a surprise visit in the story and decisions need to be made. But which one has to choose and which direction will he go? That's part of the fun of this book.
If you're in the mood to read a sweet, romantic book over the holidays to get you into the spirit, then THIS book will do that for you. It's a definite four stars, don't miss this story, type of book.
Enjoy!!!!!
