Publisher Description

He rescued her from the storm. She melted his heart.

Stranded in a snowstorm. Rescued by a grumpy mountain man. What could possibly go wrong?
When curvy city girl Lucy’s car comes to a stop on a remote mountain road, the last thing she expects is to be rescued by a brooding, beardy recluse with a body built for sin and a scowl that could freeze lava.
Griffin’s not used to company...especially not sunshine like her.
But the snow’s piling up, the fire’s burning hot, and their unexpected connection? Blistering.
He cooks. He chops wood. He has a thing for her feet.
She’s tempted.
He’s already hooked.
But when the storm clears, will Lucy go...or stay and see what happens when opposites don’t just attract… they combust?
A deliciously steamy, laugh-out-loud short insta-love romance with snow, spice, and a happily-ever-after you won’t forget.

Tropes:

  • Grumpy x Sunshine

Lucy, a charming and spirited woman, and Griffin, a rugged and stoic mountain man, reluctantly welcome her into his cabin when she arrives frozen. Their dynamic is a mix of humor and passion, with a strong chemistry between them. Both have experienced past pain, making trust a significant issue, especially for Griffin.

This was an enjoyable and endearing read that had me smiling at the clever banter between the characters. Lucy is a bold and determined woman who goes after what she wants. The story also has emotional depth, focusing on a couple navigating love and building a future together. The humor throughout the story kept me engaged. The picturesque setting and small-town romance vibe, along with the town gossip, added an intriguing element to the plot. The characters were well-developed in this instant love story. Despite being a short story, it was filled with intense passion and heat.
