Thoughts 💭
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It is on the more smutty, explicitly descriptive side. My common complaint with these books is that the author always waits until the last 2 chapters to blow up the relationship and have them rush back to each other. With Gianni and Ellie’s story the blizzard forced them together, there weren’t intentions on either side of making it work for the long run. But things changed and realizations happened. Leading to sappy gestures of love that were the absolute cutest. I finished the book feeling at peace and giddy for them. Loved it!

Book number 2 in the series and it just keeps giving. It’s like all my favorite tropes are put in this series and I love it. Plus it’s so romantic. And the writing is really good and funny.

Ellie & Gianni have known each other all their lives. Their mothers are best friends so their families grew up together.
Thought the years Gianni teased Ellie mercilessly. Which lead to annoyance and complicated feelings for Ellie.
One night in which Ellie has a work event Gianni offers to drive her as a huge snow storm is coming, Ellie reluctantly agrees. As she foreshadows the night mainly consists of Gianni, taking the spotlight due to his celebrity status as a up and coming chef.
When the blizzard has them stranded together at a motel with only one bed, lines get crossed and feelings come to light.

This was such a good feel book. Completely helped with my book slump.
The banter between the MCs was great, I found myself laughing and smiling while reading this.
