painfully smitten
Well look at that.
I'll Be Home For Christmas Daily Dose Advent Calender.
It's up already. Someday I really need money so I can treat myself to things like this.
I am looking over the other stories now...I don't know the authors, but the descriptions are hitting some of my kinks. I mean,
Second Serve $1.49 By G.S. Wiley
Michael Morgan, former top-seeded Australian tennis player, is long-since retired. When his former rival—and former one night stand—Arkady Yemelyanev comes to Sydney and asks him to play in a Christmas Eve exhibition match, Michael is forced to come to terms with the fact that he will never again be a top professional player—and that lovers last longer than rivals.

The Winter Courtship Rituals of Fur-Bearing Critters $3.99
By Amy Lane
Rance Crawford is an alpaca rancher, fiber mill owner, and self-proclaimed grumpy bastard. When sweet, charming tenderfoot Ben McCutcheon moves onto Crawford's rural road, Rance is very aware that Ben makes it a grand total of two gay men in their tiny town, and even though he is instantly, painfully smitten, any move he makes could be simply chalked up to being hard up. Using his best weapon and favorite skill, Crawford launches an awkward, wordless effort to make sure Ben is kept warm during the cold Colorado winter, every last piece of him—especially his heart.

A Wealth of Unsaid Words $3.99
By R. Cooper (That's me!)
Alex has always known his bipolar disorder made him too flawed for his boyhood hero, Everett. So when his feelings for Everett became overwhelming, he forced a separation that saddened them both but gave Alex the clarity he needed. Now a year has passed, and he and Everett are together again when Everett's noisy, imperfect family reunites for Christmas, pulling Alex into their chaotic warmth the way they always have. Can Everett convince Alex that, in spite of his fears, starting a relationship would make for the perfect holiday?
Yeah, they said Christmas and I thought...bipolar disorder. Like you do. Um...there's a tree? And cookies! Soooo many cookies! There's even cookies on the cover. (It gets its own cover!) Little heart cookies! I had to make sugar cookies to celebrate! :) And then I ate them all. :(
Sidenote: That ad for that new Shakespeare movie is annoying. I call shenanigans.
