Sometimes the right gift can be life-changing ... On the solstice, Rory's grandfather gives him a pocket watch he claims will have Rory's life sorted and his problems solved by Christmas. Rory starts out skeptical, but when he reconnects with an ex he never thought he'd see again, he has to admit there might be some holiday magic at work after all. Deacon's life is in shambles, and he's returned to Syracuse for a fresh start. Running into Rory again feels like much more than a coincidence, and neither of them can deny the passion between them is still smoldering. With the watch behaving oddly at just the right moments, Rory and Deacon might receive the gift of a lifetime ... if they're willing to accept it. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

This is a pleasant, low-key, holiday short story about two men in their mid-thirties. Rory’s grandfather gifts him a pocket watch on the winter solstice, ‘to help Rory get his life together,’ so his grandfather tells him. Rory is skeptical, but odd things start to happen once he receives it. One is running into his old lover Deacon. Teenagers when they were dating, they went their separate ways until Deacon moved back to town. The plot goes on to show the men renewing their friendship, and how at times, the watch behaves oddly.
I liked the characters and Rory’s African Grey, Apollo, who learns a new sound, lol.
A light, fast read, A Timely Gift is a sweet story for the holidays. I give this book, 3 Stars.
