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.

Prescott Lane is quickly becoming one of my must read authors and this is another one of her books that I struggled to put down.
I’m not usually one to go for the gentleman in my books. I can’t get enough of a flawed bad boy but Jax has 100% converted me. Good looking, extremely successful and a true gentleman...Jax has got it all going on. So much so that he’s turned the art of been a gentleman in to a successful business. When his best friends ex returns to town for Christmas Jax is faced with a dilemma. Does he stick to the gentleman’s rules and stay away from the woman he’s loved for years? Or is it time for him to break the rules and take a risk by confessing his true feelings? I really felt for Jax. He so badly wants to do the right thing when it comes to his friendships but he also wants to do the right thing for himself and his future and I don’t envy the choice he has to make.
Skylar is fresh out of a relationship and wants to spend Christmas with her friends while she works on her battered heart and tries to figure out what she’s going to do now. When her friends family come down ill, Skylar has no choice but to stay with Jax. Skylar is oblivious to Jax’s feelings towards her, he hurt her years ago and she’s had no reason to think his feelings have changed. Now with them both single and thrown into living in the same house it’s only a matter of time until their old feelings reappear.
I loved this book. The banter and chemistry are perfect and even though the story should probably have left me feeling a little more conflicted, I was completely on Jax’s side to win the girl and was 100% rooting for him and Skylar. A prefect book to read especially around Christmas time.
