ABOUT THE BOOK
Christmas represents everything Andi Williams is supposed to have, and doesn’t. Running away to a remote mountain lodge in the Canadian Rockies, sounds like the perfect way to escape, until a mix-up finds her sharing a villa with sexy, rough around the edges, Colin Hartford.
Colin’s determination to enjoy the holiday he’s missed for the last five years, sweeps Andi into a season of joy that she’s not sure she’s ready for. Can Andi open herself up to everything the holidays have to offer… including love?

REVIEW: With all the pain and loss she had dealt with lately, Andi was not in the mood for Christmas this year. She didn’t want to see all the holly jolly decorations, happy families and festive activities. All she wanted was to escape and hide until the holidays were over. So off to a mountain lodge getaway she went. But life has a funny way of turning things around when you least expect it. When she gets to the lodge, she discovers that she doesn’t have a reservation and of course the lodge is full and there are no vacancies. That is when her knight in shining armor comes to her rescue and saves the day. Although she doesn’t know he’s her knight…………Colin is standing in the background and overhears that Andi doesn’t have a room to stay in so he offers his. After meeting Colin, Andi realizes they have someone from her past in common, the one person who hurt her the most, Blaine. Andi accepts Colin’s offer for a place to stay but she isn’t happy about it at all, especially now that she knows Colin knows that dirtbag Blaine. Andi will be in for the experience of her life now that she has met Colin!
This was a very romantic, Christmas themed story. I enjoyed reading all about Andi and Colin. Even Blaine was enjoyable as your typical scumbag of the book It is always fun to read a romance where after the heartbreak and tragedy someone experiences, they find happiness that helps them overcome what was lost. The mountain lodge was the perfect backdrop for a romance to begin. If you want a quick Christmas story read that is enjoyable and will give you that warm and fuzzy feeling, this is the one!
