Cole in His Stocking edition by Nya Rawlyns Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Love in all its uncertainties during the Christmas season is well handled and well told in this short novel. A few minor details didn't suit me, but I enjoyed the love story and well developed characters. A well flowing story with a good ending that suited the characters.
What a cute heartwarming story. Jake and Cole were so right for eachother and it was wonderful watching them work through all of the awkwardness and fear and ultimately reach their shared happiness. I also really liked that these two characters were each realistic human males, flaws and all, and not Ken-doll body-perfect gym rats.
The only thing that bothered me was some of the colloquialisms used such as using the word “coming” several times in place of “almost”, “turning” or “about to” (e.g. he’s coming 25 next week). I’m native to that region and nobody speaks like that. But that’s minor stuff that does not detract for the story. Overall, this is a well-edited piece.
I love it when Nya Rawlyns shows us a side of her writing we don't always see. Her usual style is very visceral, pulling no punches and letting her characters as well as the readers get tossed around by life. Since this is a Christmas read, it's lighter, though that doesn't mean fluff. Rawlyns could perhaps write a paragraph of fluff, but nothing longer than that. I'd imagine even her grocery lists are hard-hitting. Cole and Jake are complex men in a complicated situation. (I'm still watching carefully to see how she gets the 'complex character in a paragraph' rabbit out of the hat, but she's too skillful to let the bones of her work show.) Neither man is certain what he truly wants from life; neither can believe they may have found it in each other. Watching them realize that they have is a delight without being in the least sappy or trite. With this story, Rawlyns has managed to capture and convey to this confirmed city-hater the magic that New York City has at Christmas time, in a few brushstrokes touching here and there and yet evoking a depth of experience and feeling that other authors labor for page after page to accomplish. As always, she is superb.
2.5/5 stars
Leading into the last months of the year, I tend to lean toward holiday-related stories. That’s one of the reasons I gave this one a shot. It’s also an M/M romance. Being that I want my holiday reading to be more diverse than in the past, this was a great choice for me.
But, as you see from my rating, this story didn’t shine through for me as much as I had hoped. It has a great premise. And to quote the description “There’s no place more festive, more glorious than the Big Apple during the Holidays,” maybe I held it up to those words too much. One of the main things I felt hurt the story was the way the point of view was written. It’s a third person story, told from both Cole and Jake’s points of view. While this is normal, I didn’t feel that the switching between the two was balanced enough with the telling of the story, nor were the transitions always very smooth.
Along with that, I think the characters were too inside their own heads for the reader to see the full story, the full relationship blooming. It was slightly a case of telling more than showing due to this. It also didn’t give way to much in the way of showing a “festive…Big Apple.” I felt the holiday aspect was lost to being a mere mention.
Even though I didn’t feel emotionally involved in the relationship, the characters, and their issues, there was early promise with this novella. Maybe it needed to stick to following one character’s POV. Maybe it just needed more room to flesh itself out and not be bogged down inside of the men’s heads. It wasn’t totally put off of reading Rawlyns again. The author is good with her words, when looking closer at a sentence. I’m hoping other works could suit my tastes better.
An AMAZING story, as always. Nya Rawlyns is the Queen of unforgettable characters and worlds which draw us in, never to let us go. I loved this story from start to finish, and wish only that there was another, or more of it, so I could satisfy my craving anew!

This was a wonderful Christmas read; perfect, as always, for the holidays and beyond.
