For two former childhood friends, a blustery winter storm stirs some frosty—and scorching—memories in a delightful short story by #1 New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood. All newly minted pediatrician Jamie Malek wants is to borrow a roasting pan for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, that requires her to interact with Marc—her best friend’s troublemaking brother, who’s now a tech billionaire. He’s the one who got away. She’s the one who broke his heart. Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.

I got to be honest here about one thing. I read this book last Christmas and I just forgot to review it last year in the holiday season. So I decided to publish this review this Christmas season.

I gotta admit that this book is far from being a good Christmas book, of course I haven’t read a lot of Christmas books in my time but the few I’ve read makes me say that books isn’t. one of the good Christmas books. This book is more of those overly cheesy and sweat Christmas books which borderline to be being a book about a upcoming serial killer of a fictional character. 

But I gotta admit that I enjoyed this book in a way. Its fast pacing, have a decent plot and it is interesting. Even thou the Christmas spirit isn’t that big in this book.

The characters here are very good, which really surprised me because I wasn’t expecting the characters to be that good as they were. The characters are very few in this book but the once we get here, have for sure a lot of personality to them. Which makes them easy to tell apart. And there is something which make them interesting. Which for sure made me give this books some extra points for. 

The plot here are okay for the most part. It travels back in time a lot to help explain the drama between the two main characters, which really makes this plot better in a way but at the same time the whole thing of telling us what happened in the past makes it a little confusing to follow the plot. 

The writing style in this book was very YA typical. Which nears means that its very easy to read and quick to read. But at the same time the writing style plays very well with the plot of this book. Which I cant complain a lot about the writing style.

I Give This Book 3 / 5
