Lawson and Chester are best friends since they started their studies to become veterinarians, they share a two-bedroom apartment, they run together every morning, they think the world of the other, and now… they both have an internship at the Vet Shop Boys clinic. Lawson is sweet but can be a bit grumpy, the complete opposite of Chester. Lawson hates Christmas time and all the fuss, and his father ruined it for him years ago. Noe he's on his own and that's just how he wants it. This year Chester is on a mission, to let Lawson enjoy Christmas, yes, enjoy it all! All the Vet Shop Boys are in on this mission, but that last part Lawson doesn’t know. Chester is the only one Lawson feels safe with since his family has no use for him. He finds that havening Chester near is soothing. Because of all their different work schedules at the Vet Shop Boys clinic, the whole of December is for holiday festivities, they open their houses on different days, so all colleagues will have a celebration. What all the employees already saw from the first moment they laid eyes on Lawson and Chester, took them a bit longer, all the feelings they have for each other. They are cute together, and their friendship is special, so they figure that a kiss here and there won’t destroy it, it’s nothing permanent. So, they keep it loose, just to see how it goes. Another wonderful story in this series. it's fun, emotional, has depth, and this one is quite a slow burn. Besides Chester and Lawson and their new relationship there is also the clinic, and all the other guys from this series. What a bunch! Overall, a consistently and wonderfully written story, when finished it gives you that "feel good all over" feeling. ( )
