What happens when you fall in love with your girlfriend's, best friend's boyfriend? What about when he feels the same? Mark Illingworth, whose image of himself in a relationship has hitherto been drawn exclusively from a TV aftershave advert, is about to find out as his life is turned upside down by his passionate love for the handsome, charming and exciting Jonathan. As Christmas approaches, both of them have to answer the question: What do you want for Christmas?
Meanwhile, Jonathan's father must grapple with demons of his own, proving that the apple never falls far from the tree!
"Another great read - well written with a strong romantic storyline, compelling and believable characters, and some beautifully written sex scenes that cover the range from highly erotic to tragi-comic!"
"The two girlfriends are beautifully and sympathetically drawn and I felt really engaged with their stories even whilst willing the two boys to find a way to be together!"
"With his very real urban settings, strong characterisation and dry Northern humour, Tim Bairstow reminds me strongly of the much-loved authors of the 1960's: Keith Waterhouse, Stan Barstow and John Braine. What more could anyone want ... at Christmas or any other time of the year?"
