What Lies in Winter by Cassidy Kent

New review by me on Romance Divas:

What Lies in Winter by Cassidy Kent

Publisher - Amber Heat

(ebook - novella length)

Hayley goes on her annual vacation to the same cabin every time. Deep in the Mammoth mountain area she expects to relax and have fun with her best friend, Eden. She doesn't expect to meet a British beast of a man staying at the cabin she has reserved and paid for.

Nicholas Rhiordan is using his cabin to get some much needed solitude while trying to finish his latest manuscript. While he is a best-selling mystery author he is experiencing terrible writers block. He doesn't need a hot-headed female getting in his way, even if they are both at his cabin due to an administrative error from his staff.

When a blizzard keeps Hayley's best friend away and her and Nicholas tightly behind the closed doors of the cabin, with the generator knocked out, what other choice is there? A little heat, a lot of sparks and you get a fire.

Cassidy Kent has woven this novella with plenty of humour, a touch of sentiment and a whole lot of hot, hot, hot. I think Hayley forgave Nicholas a tad too quickly maybe but when the fire is that hot your brain can't think anyway. Whew! Part of me wanted to turn away from the deeply private moments between this couple because I kept forgetting it wasn't real. I'm telling you there should have been steam rising up from my computer. A great fast, and definitely exciting, read from this author.

I give it 4.5 kisses!
