It’s Christmas Eve and Rory Andrews is desperate to get home to the family she hasn’t seen in years. Problem is, her only ride to Lake Tahoe comes in the form of the annoyingly handsome Max Stranton, and his big, goofy, lovable dog Carl.

Hours stuck in a truck with the dead sexy Max sounds like a fate worse than death (not), but Rory’s out of options. She’s had a crush on Max since high school and she knows he’s attracted to her, too. But they have history… and Max is the only one who knows why it went south.

They’ve done a good job of ignoring their chemistry so far, but a long road trip in a massive blizzard might be just what they need to face their past… and one steamy, snowy night is all it takes to bring Max and Rory together at last.

I managed to sneak in this novella during the last leg of drive to Indiana this week. Loved this cute little story of Rory and Max reconnecting on a trip north to Tahoe. I was intrigued by their pairing in the last book and was excited to snatch up this hold from the library. We get a cute little story and I was excited to see actual conversations happenings while in the truck and then the motel. Carl was a great addition to the story. I only wish we would have gotten to see more from these two. (Note: this is an open door romance.)
