If he also finds himself wishing for a tall, dark, and handsome man to waltz into town and sweep him off his feet, who can blame him?<\/p>\n<p>Gannon Snow closed himself off to emotions and connections a long time ago. He\u2019ll head back to his late grandfather\u2019s beloved holiday town, but only to sell the old man\u2019s house and store. He has his own business to run and no time for feelings. Much to his chagrin, Gannon gets caught up in nostalgia and finds himself mesmerized by a happy little holiday helper.<\/p>\n<p>Hayden and Gannon share an instant connection, but Gannon isn\u2019t staying and Hayden isn\u2019t keen on a broken heart. However, the universe\u2014and maybe some holiday magic, which Gannon most definitely doesn\u2019t believe in\u2014has a different plan, and the men find themselves smack dab in the middle of a small-town Christmas romance.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"a-text-bold\">**<\/span><span class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"><u>The Heart of St. Nick<\/u><\/span> <span class=\"a-text-italic\">is a steamy, forced proximity, small-town M\/M holiday romance with a slight age gap between a bowtie and suspender-wearing good guy and an emotionally-stunted man with a cold heart just waiting to be melted.<\/span><span class=\"a-text-bold\">**<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25373 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/63126877-the-heart-of-st-nick?ac=1&amp;from_search=true&amp;qid=zwZftCY9d2&amp;rank=1\">Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone \nwp-image-25375 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks-_300x100.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Heart-St-Nick-D-Ellis-ebook\/dp\/B0BKWVDNWB\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=34196EZFMG92Z&amp;keywords=the+heart+of+st.+nick+a.d.+ellis&amp;qid=1668456879&amp;sprefix=The+heart+of+at+nick+%2Caps%2C107&amp;sr=8-1\">Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tenise.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone \nsize-medium wp-image-25382\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tenise-_300x100.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Review by Twinsie Tenise<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"freeTextreview5091104107\">Gannon Snow is a rather successful real estate agent from L.A. His grandfather- and last living family memeber- has passed away. Gannon must make the trip to a small midwest town full of Christmas 365 days a year, to sort through and sell his grandfather&#8217;s assets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Hayden Green is a lifetime resident of St. Nicholas Crossing. He works part time as a teacher and the rest of the time he helps his family at the store. Hayden is content with his simple life even though it can get lonely at times.<br \/>\n<span id=\"freeTextreview5091104107\">When Hayden and Gannon meet in this perfect setting for a holiday fling, that is exactly what starts to unfold. This was a cute small town holiday romance full of egg nog, romance puns, steam, and dare I say&#8230;Christmas Magic!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25376 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"authorInfoHeading\" class=\"a-text-bold\">About A.D.
