Exit Through the Gift Shop by Kim Fielding

Kim Fielding is really gifted at giving short and adorable holiday interludes and Exit Through the Gift Shop is especially so. PS, the author acknowledges the insta-love, but IMHO it's still a super great read. Very definitely one of my favorites of the season, I highly recommend this to lovers of romance. The two hit it off easily and by the end of his vacation, Alex has invited Todd to his family’s rental condo to spend the Christmas holiday and Todd offers a shocking proposal for Alex that might allow him to make more than one of his dreams come true. Instead, they are at one that features Poseidon and all things ocean-related, including the gorgeous pirate Alex meets when they exit a ride “through the gift shop.” This year, during his family’s annual Christmas Compromise-a vacation that’s a compromise between his dad’s frugal ways and his mom’s wish for extravagance-they are in Orlando. Surrounded by professionals-from his dentist parents to his siblings who followed in their footsteps-Alex isn’t content with his life but doesn’t know which direction to take to change it. This short contemporary story she crafted for this year’s holiday season is a fine example of her work.Īlex is a gifted artist, but he dropped out of college and now does house painting. And it doesn’t seem to matter if the words are in the contemporary, historical, paranormal, or other style.
