Ryan had been unlucky in love ever since an old lady cursed him at a young age. This is especially true for guys named Noel. The very first boy he's ever loved was named Noel. When he sees a handsome man in a club he can't help the instant attraction that takes hold. When he finds out his name is Noel all those past hurts come back to him. But Ryan's determined to get it right with this Noel. He just can't help it if he's waiting for the next big heart-break.

Who doesn't love a good heart-warming romance to get them in the Christmas spirit? Cinnamon Sticks: The Last Noel will certainly do that. Told from Ryan's point-of-view, it turns out the main character is a funny, romantic guy who you can't help but fall just a little in love with. Noel's character, although not as fleshed out as Ryan's-probably because of the first person narrative, was equally as enduring simply because Ryan found him so. Also, I loved the slight supernatural-maybe twist. This twist feeds the plot in an interesting way while, at the same time, showing much needed back story. Kris Klein proves his talent with Cinnamon Sticks: The Last Noel. Definitely a must read for the holiday season!
