Abbie Walker can’t wait to spend two weeks alone in a remote cabin. No overbearing mother. No nagging sister. Just one grumpy cat, a carload of snacks, and a heart full of cheer. It’s going to be the best holiday ever.
Then, in the middle of a blizzard, he shows up.
Not Santa, unfortunately. Instead an injured Reed Knowles stumbles into Abbie’s cabin, ruining her perfect holiday. Abbie has good reason to hate him—and Reed doesn’t like her any better.
But they’re stuck together. And there’s only one bed. So until the snow thaws, they’ve got to bite their tongues, keep each other warm…and maybe, during those cold winter nights, discover their worst enemy is the one person they’ve needed all along.
This mixed humorous elements with emotionally taxing conversations. Some of the convos felt a little info dumpy (and sometimes author insert) but overall it felt mostly like people getting heavy things off their chest for the first time. I liked both characters and they suited each other well. Although this is built on tropes it didn’t feel perfunctory, I thought it worked well. I’d have liked to see them spend a little more time with each other that wasn’t focused on excavating themselves from emotional trauma, though they were so interbound it made sense for them to work through it together. Pretty spicy.
