The Match Before Christmas (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
I loved this Christmas finding love story. Barry is a very sweet romantic at heart and all he really wants is to find someone to spend Christmas and beyond with. Well, someone besides his furboys Tom I and Tom II. The traditional routes haven't worked so he caves and joins a dating site. He has such high hopes, but tries to keep himself grounded at the same time. The first hits he gets aren't too promising and the disastrous dates that follow would be so sad if they weren't so funny. Barry does manage to play matchmaker, much better than the site managed, to a few lucky couples. That makes him happy for his friends, but ultimately he's still alone and resigns himself to being solo for the holidays. Of course, when our MC is about to give up he gets a good hit from the site and plans yet another date. This time with Adam, a recent transplant to Barry's city who may be too good to be true. While Barry doesn't want to get his hopes up, he can't help himself and the story of their courtship is just so perfect. I would highly recommend this one, a really fun, sweet and sexy Christmas tale. I thought this was a cute little short story about Barry, a man who is on a mission to find someone special to spend the holidays with. In order to fulfill this agenda, he joins Getadate.com and loads his profile to hopefully find a match. While the matching system sends him many "matches", he has to kiss quite a few frogs before he finds his prince. I thought it was cute the way Barry made some friends along the way and ended up playing cupid to them. A cute short story. This probably could have been made into a full length book and with more development, had the potential to be much higher rated.
