The weather outside is frightful, but kisses by the fire are so delightful . . .
Sue Ann Simpkins is working hard to rebuild her life and find some holiday spirit. A weekend away from Destiny in a cabin on nearby Bear Lake seems like the perfect Christmas gift to herself—until her ex’s best friend, Adam Becker, shows up at the door, claiming the cabin is his! And if that’s not trouble enough, how had she never noticed how gorgeous he was?
Alone for the holidays and forced to play a reindeer at the local department store, Adam’s been feeling rather Scrooge-ish himself. But finding the smart, sexy woman he’s admired since elementary school waiting in the house he rented is helping to brighten his humbug mood. And when a sudden snowstorm strands them together in very close quarters, leading to one very hot night together, Adam soon realizes that what he really wants for Christmas is a second chance at love. Now all he has to do is convince Sue Ann . . .
This
was a pretty darn good read, if I do say so myself. I loved coming back to the
small town of Destiny once again where it just seems that everything is peachy.
I didn’t actually realize that Sue Ann was Adams heroine until I started
reading. Sue Ann and Jeff in the past novels have been (as described in the
book) the ‘perfect’ couple. But it just shows how quickly one’s life can go
from peachy to ...well...........shit.
Both
Adam and Sue Ann go into this new romance with huge pasts behind them and both
having kids. Once more, I’m not that huge a fan of romance when kids are involved.
I mean kids are the biggest romance killer around. But Holly Lane was done pretty
tastefully. And most of the romance took place without kids around – the beauty
of divorce, right?
Adam
is perfect for Sue Ann, and I’m glad thru all the ups and downs in the book
that he proved himself to be exactly that in the end. The two were pretty hot together and I have
the sexiest image in my head of what Adam would look like....mmmm....scrummy! I
just love a hot romance where two people are locked in a cabin with no escape
and the inevitable is going to happen – inevitable being, smoking hot sex by
the fire....raaaarwwww.
Once
again a great addition to the Destiny series, so far each story line has been
different and refreshing. I’m hanging to get Amy’s story. I’d hate to think that she will end up as the
crazy old cat lady.
Highly
recommend this entire series, but would suggest reading it from the start.
