Pet owners be ready to get your cuddles on…because Annabelle Jacobs’ new holiday story is full of the fluffy.

Christmas time is probably my second favorite time of year, especially in bookland, because it is when all the sweet and wonderful comes out to play. Not Just For Christmas–despite what is on the tin–is a great example of why this time of year is loved by so many.

I so easily feel in love with this story and the MCs, Ben Slater and Jason Armitage. Ben has just moved back to town, and is going to share his best friend’s new apartment. They have been close since their childhoods and are really looking forward to being near each other again. But it is his best friend’s older brother, Jason, that sets Ben’s heart spinning. Again–since Ben has long harbored a crush for the man, even though their decade age difference meant that Jason was never going to see Ben as anything other than a younger brother back in the day. But Ben is an adult now, and he fully intends on making Jason see that.

In between bouts of kitten cuddles. So many kitty cuddles.

This is a sweet story that embraces its slow burn romance. You never really mind that it is taking them a bit to get around to that romance, though, because the secondary characters are entertaining, and the pets keep you awwwing at the page. And honestly the time spent building up to their relationship makes since because Jason needs to shake the image of Ben he had for so long, and finally see the man in front of him.

And I know I keep mentioning the animals–especially the cats–in this story, but they actually take up a considerable portion of the story and they are so gosh darn adorable that I had to keep reminding myself that my two furballs would be most put out if I started adding to their numbers.

Love might not be just for Christmas, but if you looking for another book to keep you company for the holidays, well this one is a great bet. Especially if you are as big of an animal lover as I am.
