Jamie Grinch hates Christmas and loves to try to mess up Santa's plans. The chemistry between the two characters is obvious from the beginning, even when they are at each others throats. Jamie's quirky nicknames for Nic and penchant for his zombie cookies keep the story fun and light-hearted. Santa's exasperation with Jamie, but insistence that he's going to make Jamie love Christmas, are sweet as we see how much Nic comes to care for Jamie, despite his petulance. When one of Jamie's pranks forces an overnight trip to find replacement parts, the two men embark on a journey that not only brings them closer together, but forces their hand when the hotel they stay in only has one bed! After reading the story, I kept asking myself when the tide changed, when did Jamie and Nic finally realize they were meant to be together?
