Lately, the thought of reading anything more than 200 pages makes me want to screech. My brain will only handle small amounts of reading right now, so I needed a cutesy little novella to keep me sane. And I found one in this book.
This was such a fun, quick read. I hate it for the main character, but hands down one of my favorite ways a book starts is when the main character walks in on their partner cheating on them. It gives it a little more zest, in my opinion. That’s what happens to sweet Beau in this book. He comes home and finds his pig of a fiancé cheating on him with his assistant. After telling him off, Beau leaves the apartment and heads to his family’s cabin to get some time away. As he’s making the trip up there, it’s starts snowing so bad he just exits off the interstate and drives to the first place he saw that has lights on. And that happens to be Coop’s cabin. COOP!!!!! What a sweet, grumpy, lumberjack of a man. Coop comes to his cabin to get away from people, but he couldn’t turn away the gorgeous, clumsy man. Plus, his dog Trucker wouldn’t let him, since he fell in love with Beau on the spot. So now Coop and Beau are snowed in together in Coop’s cabin for the next few days. Cue the excited wiggles.
I enjoyed this novella very much. I loved seeing Coop and Beau fall for each other almost as much as I liked their sexy times. They were perfect for each other. They both had the hots for each other, but nervous to dive in. Beau didn’t have a lot of confidence because he thought he was a boring, chubby man (we hate his ex-fiancé for making him feel that way), and Coop didn’t want a relationship. Plus he would’ve felt like he was taking advantage of a man who literally just broke off his engagement. Both men overcome their nerves, and they launch into their weekend sex-fest.
Sadly, the snow plow had to ruin the love. Once the roads were clear, Beau headed on home. It’s not a sad ending, though. Both men kept in touch, and we see them get their HEA (HFN maybe since there isn’t an epilogue?). Either way, it was a sweet ending to a sweet book.
If you want to read an age gap romance, a MC who likes pretty undies, body positivity, and forced proximity, give this novella a try!!
