ABBY FULLER wants to have a little fun. Sure, she wants a relationship… someday. But for now, a little heat is exactly what the cold weather calls for. Breaking her own rules, she tumbles into bed with a handsome tourist passing through town…only to find him standing in her living room the following day.
JACKSON PAGE is only in town for business. He isn’t expecting a sexy little something with the woman who hits on him at the bar, and he definitely isn’t expecting her to be the younger sister of the friend he’s visiting. Clearly, nothing more can happen between them…no matter how good they are together.
But stolen moments and the magic of the holidays make it seemingly impossible for Abby and Jackson to ignore one very real truth: maybe their one night together could be the start of something more.
A steamy holiday novella set in the Cedar Point series.
This was a short-but-sweet read from a new-to-me-author.
I haven’t read any of the other books in this series, and there were some crossovers–but nothing that was too confusing for me to read.
The two main characters meet at a bar, have a short, sexy, conversation and proceed to have a one-night stand.
The next day, as chance would have it, they have someone in common and see each other again.
From then, follows a short, steamy read that ends with a happily-ever-after-for-now.
It took about an hour to read and I will say that I was engrossed with the characters and how they’d end up.
The reason this wasn’t a higher-starred read for me was because–even though I think the writing was good, I wasn’t impressed with how shallow the relationship was between the two main characters and how they felt able to build upon something like that.
But, I kind of chalk that up to person choice and preference. Because even with that, I have every intention of catching up on the rest of the series!

Sounds like a pretty good read aside from the relationship being a bit shallow but I guess that due to the book being a shorter one.
