About this ebook
All Ty wants is to propose to his boyfriend, Micah, before Christmas Eve. He has the perfect ring, the perfect setting, and the perfect plan, but the universe has other ideas. A sprained ankle, a choking woman, and a crying sister are just the tip of the iceberg as Ty stumbles toward his happy ever after. Now, as Christmas Eve looms before him, he has to figure out how to ask the biggest question of his life without his perfectionism getting in the way or he might lose the person he wants to spend the holiday, and every day after, with.
A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2015 Advent Calendar package "Sleigh Ride".

- locolibrosRating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5a sweet perfectionist attempts to give his hockey-playing beau a romantic, holiday proposal to remember
From the description, I thought this story might not be the type I would like, but I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. The repeated attempts to propose came across as sweet, earnest, and realistically disastrous. Despite the overwhelming presence of this plot device dominating the short story, the ending still seemed nicely sweet and romantic and the characters' chemistry boiled nicely (if a bit schmatzly).
