Blurb: Best friends snowed in together. When the heat rises, will they get cold feet?

Getting snowed in at a remote cottage in Wales with someone he’d fancied for ages isn’t exactly how Sam expected to spend Christmas. His feelings for Ryan are pointless. Ryan’s straight—or so he thought.

Until now, Ryan’s kept his feelings for Sam buried. Why ruin a friendship over what might only be gay experimentation? Playing it cool seems safer, until a cold snap makes sharing body heat vital. In their Welsh safe haven, anything seems possible.

As Ryan’s reserve melts away, Sam wants more than stolen kisses under the mistletoe. But a sudden thaw means making decisions. They could face the New Year together—unless one of them gets cold feet.

Review: Awww, what a cute Christmas story, it gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling that any good holiday story is supposed to do. This is definitely not as steamy as I normally came to expect from this author, but it’s perfect for these characters.

Sam and Ryan are best mates, Sam is openly gay, and Ryan is only gay. They are very different from each other and even though at first glance they don’t seem to have much in common (Ryan is the big closeted jock and Sam is the nerdy smarty-pants), they just fit. Sam has been in love with Ryan for a long time but he has no clue that Ryan returns his feelings. So when they get snowed in together in a cottage in Welsh, they get the perfect opportunity to act on their feeling.

They play board games, entertain the funny old lady next door and explore their new friends-to-lovers status every chance they get. Of course there are going to be some misunderstandings caused by lack of communication between Ryan and Sam, but don’t you fear, it all works out in the end; and if the New Year brings Ryan out of his closet, all the better.

This will definitely put a smile on your face, so go cuddle with a blanket and a glass of wine and let Sam and Ryan make your day a little brighter.
