UCLA grad Chloe
Burke, 24, has made a deal with her dad to come to Aspen for the holidays if he’ll
help finance her design business. She
hates the cold and her relationship with him isn’t exactly warm, but she’ll do
what it takes to fulfill her dream.
Finn
Warner, 27, works for his dad’s snow removal business while fulfilling the role
of the town’s adorable manwhore. He
might be using women to stay warm, but they use him too and now the lifestyle is
growing a little stale.
An almost
hook-up gone bad is the wakeup call for Finn to swear off sex for 25 days. Except now he has it bad for the new girl in
town for the holidays and there’s more than just sex on the line.
Once
getting past Finn’s manwhore ways in the opening, he was a total sweetie who
needed to meet the right woman. He’s an upbeat, outgoing guy on the surface who
underneath is really just lonely and looking for something more. I liked how Chloe called him out on his
playboy status and helped open his eyes even more. She was exactly what he needed and made his “reform”
more believable.
While Finn
and Chloe are attracted to each other from the start, this isn’t an insta lust
story. It really builds up the relationship—getting to know each other, hanging
out, going on dates—allowing the reader to see how they fall in love with each
other. The story definitely captures the romance which I really adored; I just
wish it included a few more sexy times as Finn and Chloe made a great couple.
Told via
Finn and Chloe’s alternating first person point of views, it’s about putting
your heart on the line when you find the one. It’s a sweet holiday
romance with low angst and plenty of romance.
