While Gabriel is passionate about small community libraries, he is regularly courted by other, larger libraries and Corrina doesn’t want to lose him. He is a very talented skilled librarian who took a pay cut to come to Logan. They have three things in common at the beginning of the book: they’re both gay, both convinced they don’t need or want a relationship and Corrina is determined to fix them up.Ĭorrina is on the library board and part of her thinking (though not a large part) is that if Gabriel puts down relationship roots in the town, he will be more likely to stay.

He’s almost the physical opposite of Arthur – tall and lanky with springy curly hair in a riot around his head as opposed to Arthur who is compact, muscular, red-headed and beardy. While Arthur thinks he’s not cut out for relationships, Corrina is certain that’s not the case and she is relentless in her quest. There had been one horrible moment when he’d caught Corrina trying to log in to Grindr- heaven help Arthur if she’d actually found his profile. Corrina is always trying to matchmake – sometimes with hilarious results: Arthur’s mother is particularly concerned about her son’s single state. Arthur just didn’t see Paul that way so Paul moved out and Arthur is now in the cabin alone. At the start of Sleigh Ride, we are told that Paul eventually gave Arthur an ultimatum – make it official or he was out. Arthur and his best friend Paul share the cabin and are fuck buddies but not boyfriends.

Arthur Anderson’s character was introduced in the earlier book – Marcus was staying at his cabin. I reviewed Let it Snow, the first of your Minnesota Christmas novels here last year and liked it quite a bit so I was happy to get a chance to read Sleigh Ride.
