An all-new and addictive MFM, why-choose, snowed-in, one-bed, Christmas standalone from the USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Tracy Lorraine.
It was supposed to be the perfect Christmas… until it went from cozy to crowded.
A secluded log cabin with snow-covered hills and crackling fires.
Pure bliss.
Or at least that was what my best friend and I had planned.
But plans change when his twin brother decides to crash our holiday escape.
Hendrix is steady, kind, and always by my side.
Wilder is well… wild.
He’s everything I shouldn’t want while his twin—my best friend—is the perfect guy.
Not that he’s ever looked at me that way.
Unlike his brother… who can’t seem to take his eyes off of me.
One is my perfect match.
The other one I can’t stop thinking about.
A few days in a remote location with both is a recipe for disaster, especially with a storm brewing.
When the lights go out this Christmas, am I going to be naughty or nice… or both?
Dear Reader, Naughty and Nice is a standalone MFM romance packed with holiday heat. If you like twin-brother love triangles and forced proximity that leads to sparks, you’ll adore this fiery read. Fulfill all your festive fantasies now...
Tracy Lorraine is a M/F and M/M contemporary romance author. Tracy has just turned thirty and lives in a cute Cotswold village in England with her husband, baby girl and lovable but slightly crazy dog. Having always been a bookaholic with her head stuck in her Kindle Tracy decided to try her hand at a story idea she dreamt up and hasn’t looked back since.
Hendrix is the sweet nice twin and as his name suggests, Wilder is the naughty twin. Noelle is our leading lady with Christmas on the brain. She’s taking a trip with her best friend, Hendrix and Wilder is gate cashing.
Who wouldn’t want to be snowed in for the holidays with these two? This is sweet, naughty, fun and has a happy ending. I love a forced proximity story and this one hit the spot.
Expected smut and it delivered, but surprisingly it had a plot and characters and story that were good. Forced proximity, one bed, snow storm and twins. Enough said. 🎄❄️🔥🥵😍
This book tried to have a plot outside of the smut, but it was just okay. First of all, within the first three chapters, the author can’t figure out which twin is the older one. There are also literally 4 references (possibly more but I stopped counting) of releasing the breath they didn’t know they were holding. I get it’s a common literary phrase but 4 times in one book? Cmon.
Even the spiciness felt weird because…I dunno it feels weird af to be okay sharing a woman with your sibling.
Admittedly there was a certain point where I just started skimming the pages, not really reading but getting the general sense of things and just finish the book that much faster.

Naughty & Nice is a brain-off book, through and through.
Want perfect editing and an actual plot? Get lost! 😉 You'll hate it here lol
We meet Noelle (it took me 92% of the book to link the holiday themed name to the holiday themed book 😂), her best friend Hendrix and his twin brother Wilder. Noelle and Hendrix have been long-time riders of the unrequited love train, and Wilder has always just been there being, well, wild. Throw in a little sexual mishap between Noelle and the, er, wrong brother, and a subsequent Christmas trip to a remote cabin in Canada and you've got yourself whatever the heck this book was.
The plot is nonexistent (duh, that's not why you should be here and if you are, reevaluate please lol) and the characters are whisps but it was still entertaining. A palate cleanser, if you will. It takes no energy or effort to read, and engages enough to just be fun. Even if everything going on wasn't quite my thing.
I'm a HEAVY why choose supporter in books, but lemme tell you, when she's *not* choosing between brothers, it hits the ick, not gonna lie. To each their own, but I was racked with mild chills of the unsexy variety when .
I feel, though, that the most egregious part of this whole thing was the cabin itself. You're telling me that the twins' sister married a billionaire (oh yeah, apparently these characters are related to the main in another of Lorraine's series) and they end up in the most tiny, rinky-dink cabin imaginable? PLEASE.
We all know that Hendrix has always been crushing in his bff Noelle since childhood but was always too scared to tell her. What got me in a loop was adding the twin Wilder into the mix.
I'm not a huge fan of throuple books but I will still read them.
Wilder did steal the book. He was the most complex character but the book went in a direction I was hoping it wouldn't.
I always felt Wilder wouldn't mix well into the equation because of Nix and Noelle's close relationship he would be left out and honestly it did happen on many occasions. I was hoping that Noelle changes him...yes...but he moves on bc he realizes he didn't fit in and he would get his own book.
That didn't happen. I feel like this relationship was forced where it happened out of no where now everyone has to deal and accept it. It was a descent read for most part.

I had a bit of a hard time getting through this book. Good writing and steam but I felt there was a relationship imbalance. I didn’t feel like Noelle and Wilder had a connection, apart from the sexual tension. I think it would’ve been better as a MF with Noelle and Hendrix, friends to lovers trope. Apart from all that it was a fun holiday read.
Tracy Lorraine has hit it out of the park once again with this book. If you’ve read By His Rule, you’ve already met the characters from this book. Hendrix and Wilder are twin brothers to Lorelei and though she’s tried to look after them while they grew up on the trailer park, she also made sure Hendrix’s best friend Noelle was looked after as well.
Now, the trio are in college, and it’s the winter break. They all have plans over the festive season and it’s the first time that they’re not spending it all together. Lorelei and Kian are off to a tropical paradise, while Wilder is going on a team trip. Noelle and Hendrix have booked a cosy cabin in the mountains to spend the winter break. A place for both of them to read and relax away from the stress of college. Only the weather is already turning and Wilder’s team trip is called off… so he decides to crash theirs instead.
The tension that build’s in this book is so thick that you’d need chef’s knives to cut it. Wilder is the go lucky, outgoing twin who doesn’t like to be still. Hendrix is quieter and happy to be with his best friend. The best friend he’s been in love with, most of his life. The only person that doesn’t know is Noelle, who is hiding a secret from him. A secret about his twin brother.
Remember the weather cancelled Hendrix’s trip? It also plays a big part in keeping the trio inside the cabin, with no power and no heat other than the log fire that they’ve tried to keep going throughout the nights when the temperature drops so low that the only thing that helps is body heat. Noelle enjoys being warm between the twins in the one double bed - and well, what happens in the cabin, stays in the cabin, right? Right?
I absolutely love how Tracy Lorraine manages to write her male main characters so different to each other. Hendrix and Wilder might be twins, but that doesn’t mean they’re carbon copies of each other. In fact, they’re near opposites in so many ways. And since Wilder is playing football in college, not even their bodies are exactly the same anymore. It’s a wonder Noelle can choose one twin above the other. One twin is naughty, just as his name suggests, the other nice and well, they compliment each and Noelle really well. During this book, all three work through some past hurts and issues. Wilder, though, seems to work through a whole lot more than Noelle and Hendrix, and by the end of the book, his character has done so much work, that he’s nearly a different man. In a good way.
This book is a MFM, with forced proximity, one bed and is definitely a good festive read. I couldn’t put it down. I needed a distraction from the life events I had happen the same day the book downloaded to my kindle and it really was a perfect distraction. Don’t expect to read just a chapter before bed, this book will keep you up through the night.

From the moment we were introduced to this characters in By His Rule, I knew I loved them. I just knew I wanted a book for the three of them and am so glad we got one. I was not disappointed in the slightest. This was everything I wanted and more, and I feel in even more love with these characters. Especially Wilder. Can’t wait to see what comes next.
Holychristmas... the Kemp Twins yes friggin please. I absolutely devoured this book in one day, and it just kept on giving at every damn chapter. The festiveness, the christmas snowed in vibe, the chemistry, the friends to loves, and the PURE SPICE!! 👀🥵🔥
I ABSOLUTELY love both Rix & Wilder, and honestly, they both compliment each other as Twins. Noelle is so reserved, and yet the hidden side of her truly came out, and I am allfrigginforit.
Although this was angsty and beautiful, there were some moments my heart was ripped in two, and the emotion and how it was captured was truly brilliant writing!
This was such a fun premise to explore. Who wouldn’t want to get snowed in with two hot and (surprisingly) sensitive twins? I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed the development of the relationships between everyone. Wilder was a surprise with his depth but it heightened the magic of the book. I will say I struggled with a few typos that I found, but I really enjoyed the book for what it was.
If you read By His Rule, you will know that the Kemp twins—Wilder and Hendrix and his best friend, Noelle—made a small guest appearance. The twins are Lorelei's younger brothers.
Naughty and Nice, give us a look at their relationship. Hendrix is in love with Noelle, but since she is also his best friend, he is unsure whether he should pursue something more. Noelle is also in the same situation; she would love to have a deeper relationship with Hendrix but is afraid to lose his friendship if it does not work out.
Wilder is attracted to Noelle but knows that his brother loves her, so he will not make a move on her.
Noelle and Hendrix decide to spend Christmas together at a cabin. But Wilder crashes their plans as they are leaving on a road trip.
But what could happen during a winter storm with only one bed? Can they continue to hide their feelings for each other, or will they give in to them? This story is spicy, but you can also feel their love for each other and how they consider everything.
This was so good! Tracy always blows me away with her writing!
Naughty & Nice is an MFM new adult romance that is so good and had the perfect amount of spice to it! I could not get enough of Wilder, Hendrix, and Noelle. Easily such an enjoyable read!
I definitely recommend this one for all to read! I will always recommend and 1-click Tracy’s books!
Hendrix and Wilder ... are a twin sandwich id love to be in! Noelle is one Lucky lady! As always Tracy sure knows how to give me what I didn't know i wanted or needed! 5 stars easily! And that extended epiologe with the Easter eggs chefs kiss! I couldn't put this down !
Wilder is like the devil on your shoulder while Hendrix is the good boy you need. Love them both.
Things I want to remember…
Hendrix wilder and Noelle off for Christmas break. “Do you want to know a secret, little rebel?” “No,” she cries a little too loudly. “No,” she repeats. “I don’t want to know anything.” “Well, that’s a real shame, because I’m going to tell you anyway.” Her nostrils flare as she sucks in a deep breath through her nose, although much to my delight, she’s no longer fighting to get away. Leaning closer again, crushing our bodies together, I let my lips brush her ear, loving the way she shudders. “I can’t stop thinking about it” rix Noelle is… Noelle is my best friend. Always has been, always will be. But also… I’m pretty sure I’ve been in love with her since long before I knew what the word meant. “But... there aren’t any other doors,” Noelle exclaims with a frown marring her brow. “We booked a two-bed cabin.”I’ve done everything I can to avoid Wilder since that Halloween party. How am I now stuck here with him for the next five days? It’s got disaster written all over it. Hendrix can’t find out what happened. He’d never forgive me. Sure, I’ve always had feelings for Hendrix. What red-blooded female wouldn’t? He’s hot and sweet. The most loyal and trustworthy friend that exists. “He’s going to notice that you’re uptight, and something tells me he won’t be the one who can fuck it out of you.” She looks up, her eyes holding mine. “And you’d know that how?” “Trust me. There might be a lot of similarities between me and Rix, but only one of us has had a taste of you.” As she gasps, I push to stand and take two steps back. “Isn’t that right, Noelle?”Idon’t remember Hendrix coming to bed last night, but the second I wake up, I’m more than aware that he did. His heavy arm is wrapped around me, and the length of his body is pressed against my back. I love it. He makes me feel so safe, secure, wanted, needed… loved. “Maybe Rix and I can make all your Christmas wishes come true this week, huh? Would you like that? Do you want to be a dirty girl for us?”“Rix, what are you—” My words are cut off as he lurches toward me. His hands grip the sides of my face and his lips slam down on mine. I’ve dreamed about this over and over, tried to imagine what it might feel like, but I never thought it would be like this. “What the fuck, Bro?” Hendrix barks as my hands lift to cover my bare breasts. “Just wanted to know if either of you had seen the weather warning,” he states as if this is fucking normal. “Does it look like we’re watching the fucking weather?” “I dunno, something tells me it’s pretty fucking wet in here.”“We’re getting hit with a storm. They’re predicting it’s going to be really bad,” Noelle explains. “We’re probably going to be stuck here.” “Sounds awful,” Hendrix quips. “Whatever will we do?”“We could have been doing that all this time. We’re such idiots.” I laugh along with him, high on the endorphins he’s released in me. “I love you, Hendrix Kemp.” “I love you too, Noelle Bell.”She needs a man like Hendrix. Someone who will be able to quietly give her the world, not someone like me who’ll inevitably cause her pain and heartache without even lifting a finger. I look up and watch them interact, and my heart aches in my chest. I’m happy for them. I am. I really do hope they manage to get the happily-ever-after they’ve always craved with each other. Blackout snow storm. Vodka shots. “Is he as hard as I am?” Noelle gasps while Wilder’s face beams with pride. Weird thing for him to be proud of me for, but I’ll take it. Pressing myself harder against her stomach, I wait for her response—not that I need it. Call it twin intuition or whatever. “Yes,” she finally breathes. “He complicates things.” “You want him too?” Her eyes snap back to mine. “No. I mean, yeah. Kinda. I want him the way we had him last night. I don’t want him like this,” she says, reaching out and dragging her thumb over the pillow of my bottom lip. “You’re my ride or die, Rix. Always have been, always will be.” “You two are boring.” “I think we’ve proved in the last couple of days that we’re anything but boring,” Hendrix mutters. “Okay, I’ll give you that. So if it’s no to Monopoly, how about we fuck all day?”“Let me finish,” I say when Hendrix tries to interrupt again. “I know things have been… different, and there’s every chance you’ll look back and regret what we’ve done here, but I really hope you don’t. I hope that after we’ve returned to normal life, you’re able to see this for what it was. A bit of fun and the beginning of you two building your life together. You deserve it. Both of you. More than anyone else I know. All I want is for you to be happy, and for that to happen, you need to be together. I was just getting to the point where I wasn’t sure either of you was going to figure it out.” Wilder turns into a dick. Seeing Noelle and Hendrix together... Being with Noelle and Hendrix... It opened my eyes, and sadly, my heart and vulnerabilities. And… I miss them. “Haven’t you heard? They’re taken.” “What? Both of them?” another girl asks, sounding disappointed. “Yep. By the same girl.” “No.” “Yep. She’s fucking both of them.”
Tropes: ❄️Snowed in 🎄Holiday romance ❄️MFM x Twin MCs 🎄“It’s always been you” ❄️Best friends to lovers 🎄Frenemies to lovers ❄️One bed 🎄Forced proximity ❄️Found family
Review: 𝒩𝒶𝓊𝑔𝒽𝓉𝓎 & 𝒩𝒾𝒸𝑒 is another knock out romance by Tracy Lorraine and this time she brings the holiday cheer with the Kemp Twins! 𝒩𝒶𝓊𝑔𝒽𝓉𝓎 & 𝒩𝒾𝒸𝑒 had me rolling in laughter than sweating from the spice as we read the absolute hilarious Christmas holiday vacation that these three get up to. I enjoyed how each of the MCs had a distinct voice and how much Wilder just needed his twin and Noelle to soften him out!
𝒩𝒶𝓊𝑔𝒽𝓉𝓎 & 𝒩𝒾𝒸𝑒 was a super festive snowed in romance as well. Noelle and Hendrix were softies for the holiday and all tings Christmas and after seeing the Kemp twins and Noelle in ‘By His Rule’ it was great to see them grown and getting their story. Noelle and Hendrix had that soul mate and best friend connection that buttered their romance and their story since it was a contention point between the three of them and between the friends. I enjoyed how Tracy tackled the feelings Hendrix and Noelle had for each other but also indulged how Wilder was a new addition to their relationship and to the bonds between them.
Wilder Kemp was my favorite in this book. Hands down. No contest. His story was in my opinion the most important to the group and to the book since he was so misunderstood. Tracy really opened up the feelings in his POV at times and then had him shrink back in and lash out towards both Noelle and Hendrix - which to me was what drove me to need more of his story. I wanted him to find happiness with his twin and Noelle so bad that I found myself wanting to throw my book against the wall every time they put distance between them. The culmination of the snowed in holiday and the time back home after put everything in Wilder’s POV into perspective and his HEA was so sweet to read!
𝒩𝒶𝓊𝑔𝒽𝓉𝓎 & 𝒩𝒾𝒸𝑒 was a spicy, romcom holiday romance that held all of my favorite holiday book tropes in one. The Kemp twins were a delight to read and I loved seeing how they all found family in one another after the trip was done. It was also great to see Tempest cameo with her new husband in this book while she was on her own HEA!
Rating: 5/5; 𝒩𝒶𝓊𝑔𝒽𝓉𝓎 & 𝒩𝒾𝒸𝑒 turns up the heat and provides all the laughs and found family love
A secluded log cabin with snow-covered hills and crackling fires.
Pure bliss.
Or at least that was what my best friend and I had planned.
But plans change when his twin brother decides to crash our holiday escape.
Hendrix is steady, kind, and always by my side.
Wilder is well… wild.
He’s everything I shouldn’t want while his twin—my best friend—is the perfect guy.
Not that he’s ever looked at me that way.
Unlike his brother… who can’t seem to take his eyes off of me.
One is my perfect match.
The other one I can’t stop thinking about.
A few days in a remote location with both is a recipe for disaster, especially with a storm brewing.
When the lights go out this Christmas, am I going to be naughty or nice… or both?
This book was just an ok for me. I found myself unable to decide if I wanted them all 3 to be together or if Noelle was better with just 1 of the brothers. There wasn't much story or plot behind this book, mainly smut. So, unless you are interested in just a smutty Christmas story with little to no plot, I would not recommend this book. You got to see their feelings grow throughout which was great but it just wasn't anything extraordinary. It still kept my interest and made me want to push through and finish reading but it wasn't 5 star worthy to me unfortunately. There were quite a few quotes that were note worthy and feelings that were very much relatable. I wish we would've gotten more of a feel and understanding of each character individually. We got a small insight to what their pasts were like growing up but nothing that went into detail, sometimes you don't need thag for a story and then other times it is wanted just so you can connect with the characters. However, again seeing as this book was more of just smut it is understandable that character connection would not be a strong focus. Still, it was an interesting and worked to keep my attention but not my favorite for the holiday reads.
Gosh, I do want to enjoy reading this angsty whychoose with christmas theme romance of Tracy Lorraine but like some of you may know that whychoose isn't one of my favorite tropes of romance and I usually struggle while I'm reading it. Of course, there are some that were well written and made me enjoy them so much and those were from all of my favorite authors as well. I also used to read whychoose series of Lorraine and I enjoyed and loved it so much that when I knew this one would be whychoose too I thought I won't have a problem reading it.
Turn out, I don't think this one is for me to enjoy (- -')
First, when I'm thinking about Christmas, I expect something festive and enjoyable. But after diving in a few chapters, I just realise that this book will be angsty AF.
Second, I don't remember all three of them at first but when Lorelei and Kian were mentioned, my memory light turned on and Ding Ding Ding... Then I recalled I felt a chemistry between Noelle and Wilder while she is a best friend of Wilder's twin, Hendrix, while I was reading Lorelei and Kian's book. I still feel a chemistry between Noelle and Wilder at the beginning of this book though but it's complicated with Hendrix's feeling.
Speaking of Hendrix, I knew that Noelle and Hendrix are best friends but I wanted to know more about their friendship so I can feel something between them aside from their best friend vibe. Of course, that feeling was changed after but still.
With all of those I mentioned above, I think it messed up with my head a bit so even if I want to enjoy reading the book, I just can't.
And if anything, I don't think Hendrix wants Noelle and Wilder to be together though. It is a reason why I decide to give this book 3 stars.
Noelle and her man bestie Hendrix are on their way to a fantastic backwoods Christmas all by their lonesome. But when his rizzy twin brother Wilder has nowhere to go for the holiday their twosome becomes a threesome. 🫢 When they lose power and get snowed in, however will they keep warm?
Oh my gosh what did I just read?? I think I’m going to 🔥 This was a SPICY book. Whew! I’m not going to say this was a good book, but I read it in a day so do with that what you will.
The characters!… well you barely get to know the characters. I think they were all good looking. The plot!… you barely get a plot. There was alcohol, a power outage and a fireplace. The romance!… 😂
This was pure unadulterated hanky panky with two men and a woman as they’re all drinking and waiting to freeze to death. I mean, who hasn’t had this happen to them? I especially loved the deep intense sentiment of love at the end when the entire relationship through the book has the depth of a tide pool, consisting of only sex and crude innuendos. And did I mention? They’re brothers. When discussed with my husband he asked “Well... are they twins?” Because somehow that makes it more okayer. 🧐
I just. 🤣
If you’re looking for a dynamic romance that will stay with you forever, this is not that. Looking for the quickie of book reading? This has got you covered! 😉 If you’re in the mood to get hot when it’s cold out, this book is for you! 18+++
At least it was better than Good Elf Gone Wrong! Don’t read that. 🙅♀️
If you read By His Rule, you will know that the Kemp twins—Wilder and Hendrix and his best friend, Noelle—made a small guest appearance. The twins are Lorelei's younger brothers.
Naughty and Nice, give us a look at their relationship. Hendrix is in love with Noelle, but since she is also his best friend, he is unsure whether he should pursue something more. Noelle is also in the same situation; she would love to have a deeper relationship with Hendrix but is afraid to lose his friendship if it does not work out.
Wilder is attracted to Noelle but knows that his brother loves her, so he will not make a move on her.
Noelle and Hendrix decide to spend Christmas together at a cabin. But Wilder crashes their plans as they are leaving on a road trip.
But what could happen during a winter storm with only one bed? Can they continue to hide their feelings for each other, or will they give in to them? This story is spicy, but you can also feel their love for each other and how they consider everything.
Love love love wilder, Hendrix and Noelle romance book so much and very very spicy between them and I love that Noelle is a book girly and loves reading spicy romance books and love that wilder and Hendrix listen to the audiobook that Noelle is reading and I just love this spicy Christmas romance so much and I love that Kian and Lorelei pop up in the book as well and I am loving anything written by Tracy Lorraine and I love the kemp twins aka wilder and Hendrix and I love that wilder and Hendrix are twins but have very different personalities in the book and this book has gotten me into the Christmas mood with them being stuck in a snowy cabin and that wilder kinda crashes there holiday and love that we get to see wilder at his football games in the book but overall love love love this book so much with my whole heart and I didn’t want to put it down and love when wilder calls Noelle rebel in the book and also love it when wilder and Hendrix call Noelle good girl during the spicy scenes together

Just not my cup of tea. Came across this book as one of the many instagram ads. It was not what I expected. I *thought* this book would be about Noelle getting together with her best friends brother who happens to be his twin. One of those I’ve a secret crush on my best friend and we finally act on it only to realize we have no chemistry but omg your twin brother I actually have chemistry with and want to be with. No, that is not this book. This is a throuple book.
Noelle and Nix are best friends and Nix has been in love with Noelle forever. Noelle and Nix have a cozy cabin getaway planned for the holiday break and last minute Nix’s twin brother Wilder crashes the party. After a push from Wilder Nix and Noelle get together. Wilders mask starts to fall and as he falls for Noelle and Noelle also realizes she has feelings for the naughty twin. A snowstorm causes a power outage to their small cabin. They heat up the cabin with a three-way. From there the book turns very erotic. The erotic nature of the rest of the book takes away from further character development and the storyline stays surface level with the characters returning to school and everyone accepting this a-typical relationship.

Did this one on audio. The female narrator fit the role and in a lot of aspects the male did too, but I don’t know ,he wasn’t my jam. The concept was fun two best friends, Noelle and Hendricks (the nice twin), who are secretly in love with each other plan a Christmas trip up to a secluded cabin in the woods. At the last minute Wilder (the naughty twin) crashes the trip and goes with them. Wilder is also down bad for Noelle but knows his brother has been in love with her since before they knew what love was. Wilder decides to play match maker in the naughtiest ways possible and get Noelle and Hendricks together FINALLY. They get snowed in and all three of them get naughty together to “keep warm” . Once they get home wilder acts like he’s back to his jerky player ways because he’s jealous of Hendricks and Noelle’s new relationship. Come new years he realizes he can’t live without her and their life as a thruple begins.
As an audio book 3.5⭐️ like I said the male narrator was killing we on this listen, but I think if I would have been reading it would of been a solid 4 it was a cute story. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ they did a lot in that cabin and a little more once they got home. It was pretty spicy. 🧠🧠for plot this was an easy read/listen no real twists, everything was pretty glaringly obvious from chapter one.
Hendrix and Noelle are best friends and live together. They are leaving for a cabin trip to get away and hopefully get snowed in.
As they are leaving Wilder, Hendrix’s twin brother gets in the car and says he gong with them. He was supposed to be on a plane going somewhere else but it got cancelled.
Wilder and Noelle have some tension between them because they hooked up at a Halloween party and Hendrix has no idea.
Wilder is a giant player and party’s.. Hendrix is the opposite..
Wilder can’t stay away from her and eventually Hendrix finds out the truth which makes him jump into action for his feelings for her finally!!
Things happen individually and in a group setting multiple times at the cabin… They say what happens here stays here…
Hendrix and Noelle are together and happy but Wilder is starting to have feelings for her and he acts out.
Wilder is usually closed off and doesn’t talk about things but he opened up to Noelle in the cabin..
He apologizes for being mean and lays out all of his feelings….
He feels bad because his brother finally got the girl he has always wanted but he ended up falling for her also…
Hendrix doesn’t mind because it feels right and Noelle is happy🫶🏻
Wonderful story. I loved this story it was great to see how their lives had moved on after seeing them in Lori & Kian's story. Hendrix & Noelle's quiet Christmas away didn't go quite as planned when Wilder invited himself as an unexpected guest. Hendrix & Noelle were best friends & their love had grown over the years but they were both afraid to tell each other incase it ruined everything & lose their friendship. Wilder had known growing up how his brother felt about Noelle & kept telling him to tell her how he felt that them being at the cabin was the ideal time. Their time at the cabin was totally unexpected & the relationship between the three of them changed enormously. During the time they were snowed in we had tension, banter, laughter & mega steam. When the time came for them to leave Wilder's actions spoilt the happiness they'd had & went back to his dismissive playboy ways hurting his brother Hendrix. Just as we see a happy ever after for Hendrix & Noelle you couldn't help but feel Wilder's pain which was unexpected I couldn't stop the tears. This is a wonderful story which I definitely recommend but make sure you have the tissues on standby.
This was fine, if a little boring. There wasn't anything offensive about it, but, at a certain point, I just wanted to finish it to finish it. I think maybe it would have been better for me if it was a novella since the romance seemed to mostly be based off smut anyway. They all had shared history, but I didn't feel like I got enough of it.
I also am not sure how I feel about the epilogue mostly being about Noelle and Wilder only and not Hendrix. I'm guessing it was because Noelle and Hendrix had more one-on-one time in the book because Wilder joined them later (& I don't think they had even had vaginal sex yet), but I always look at epilogues as essentially the couple's HEA, so I think I would prefer it to be about all of them.
I'm also starting to think I just prefer two people romances to three people ones. I think it's just really hard to make a well-developed romance when there are three people, whether it's mmf or mfm. At least mfm books aren't blatantly offensive to women like a lot of the mmf books I come across, but they usually aren't that compelling to me either. I'll probably continue to read them, but I've come to mostly expect smut from these types of books.
