A Gentleman for Christmas by Prescott Lane

Release Date: November 26th

A Gentleman for Christmas, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by Prescott Lane.

Some say “chivalry is dead.”

I don’t think so. Most women I know like a gentleman.

Protective, opens doors, treats women with respect, typically follows the rules.

But a gentleman doesn’t fall for his best friend’s woman. Current or ex.

And that’s what I’ve done.

During the Christmas season of all times — that magical time for decorations, gifts, family . . .

Yes, the girl who was off-limits for so long, who I’ve loved all my life, has come back in town and possibly back to me.

I can’t follow the gentleman rules this time. There’s too much at stake. I let her go once. I won’t let her go again.

What happens under the mistletoe, stays under the mistletoe.

Or does it?

Excerpt:

“Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife.”

Otherwise known as the original bros before hoes commandment.

I’m not advocating calling women hoes. It’s an expression, so put away your Encyclopedia of Political Correctness.

There are rules in life. The Ten Commandments were just the beginning. We have rules for everything. How to drive. How to dress. How to walk across the damn street. So why not rules for love? That’s how all this started — a set of rules between my buddies and me.

The Bro Code.

Obviously, bros before hoes is rule one. We vowed never to let a girl come between us, which meant if one of us liked a girl, she was forever off limits.

Little did I know our teenage pact would launch my multi-million dollar career. A little tweaking here and some socially acceptable rewording there and The Gentleman’s Handbook was born.

I’ve written books and given seminars on everything from how to find love, to how to propose, to how to have a successful long-distance relationship. You name it, and I’ve got rules for it. Personally, I’ve never been much of a rule follower, but that’s my little secret.

The funny thing is I’ve never been in love. Well, there is this one girl, but we won’t talk about her. It does no good to think about someone you can’t have and never will.

My lack of emotional commitment hasn’t slowed down my career one bit. Currently, I have two books on the New York Times Best Sellers List. My seminars sell out like a Drake concert.

I always find it interesting that the rules started between a group of male friends, but it’s mostly women that come to hear me speak. Occasionally, you see the poor sap boyfriend who was dragged along to listen, but for the most part it’s all women.

This time of the year is no exception. December first until January first is important for guys. Holidays are big for a lot of couples. If you don’t know what you’re doing for your lady, you better figure it out and fast. In fact, my rule is that you should be paying attention all year long.

Trust me on this. If you remember something she mentioned she liked three months ago and surprise her with it at Christmas, she’ll spread her legs before Santa even has time to slide down the chimney. Let’s be honest, that is always at least part of the goal for guys.

So my current work in progress tackles Christmas. A how-to guide for the holidays.

The Gentleman’s Rules for Christmas.

My A Gentleman for Christmas Review . . . 

Skylar, Luke, Jax, Maci and Malcolm were high school best friends and remained best friends even when 2 of them moved away.    In this friendship group some became couples and some were just friends.  And the number one rule within friends is not to covet what the other has, especially when it comes to girlfriends.

Jax is living large as a successful single man whom is also a motivational speaker.  However, he's also not always following his own playbook.    When Skylar comes home devastated he has to choose between his heart or his loyalty.  

When Skylar was younger she always had a crush on Jax but he broke her heart, which made it easier to be and follow Luke away from her hometown and her broken heart.  Now after Luke hurts her she finds her way back to her home and back into Jax's life.

"But there's love and then there's love.  Jax would take a bullet for you.  Luke would push you out of the way.  There's a difference."

One of my favorite things was I liked that there wasn't a drawn out angst and miscommunication.  Once the truth bomb hit there was quick forgiveness and the story moved forward.  However, it did take 10 years for her to here the truth, but the story started after the 10 years so all is good on that front.

This book was super sweet, quick paced and had all the holiday feels.  I'm a huge fan of Prescott Lane and she gave us another sweet story about love and second chances.
