Blurb:
A geeky science writer has a crush on his postman—but will he ever make a move?
Working from home suits introvert Jim until he gets a special delivery—an extremely cute, temporary postman called Patrick. Jim’s drawn to his wide smile and sexy legs, while Patrick can’t keep his eyes off Jim’s package.
Their doorstep attraction seems mutual, so asking Patrick out on a date should be easy. There’s just one problem—Jim could fit all the pick-up lines he knows on the back of a postage stamp.
As Christmas approaches, Jim knows the end of Patrick’s postal-delivery contract is looming. Taking a chance might be worth it if it keeps Patrick coming to his door.
Beth´s thoughts:
This was a charming and delightful story. I loved the main characters, Jim and Patrick. I loved how Jim resorted to ordering items through the mail so that Patrick the Postman would have to stop by with the package delivery. I love how Jim would sit by the window so that he could keep an eye out for Patrick making his rounds. This story gave me the warm fuzzies and made me feel good. I am pretty sure it will make you feel good too. Its a great freebie introduction to Jay Northcote. If you like this, you should check out her other books!! 10 pots of gold from me on this one because it made me happy ❤
Dawn´s thoughts:
This is definitely what I would call a feel good book. We meet Jim, who works from home, and is very shy and introverted. He answers a knock on his door and meets Patrick, and although shy, checks him out quite thoroughly!! Jim has no idea how to ask Patrick out, so resorts to placing orders for little things, he doesn’t actually want, so that Patrick will deliver them, and he gets the chance to see him again…… but still he doesn’t know how to speak to him and ask him out. He meets him in the supermarket, and he does actually speak to him, but again he doesn’t ask him out. Eventually, Patrick decides to do something about it…… but I will let you read the book and see how he does this, and Jims reaction.
Jay lives just outside Bristol in the West of England, with her amazing, occasionally ridiculous husband, two noisy-but-awesome children, and two cats.
Jay comes from a family of writers, but she always used to believe that the gene for fiction writing had passed her by. She spent years only ever writing emails, articles, or website content. One day, she decided to try and write a short story–just to see if she could–and found it rather addictive. She hasn’t stopped writing since.
Jay writes contemporary gay romance, usually set in or near her home town of Bristol. She enjoys the challenge of bringing the men in her head to life through her words.
