Synopsis from Goodreads:
There’s nothing like a hot kiss on a cold day…
Librarian Maureen O’Connell might have predicted she’d find herself crying into the ice cream case at the supermarket after a bad breakup—but she definitely never imagined that a guy hot enough to melt the Rocky Road would flirt with her right there in the freezer aisle. Only Gavin Fraser isn’t a fantasy, he’s a mouth-watering new flavor…
When a freak snowstorm strands Maureen at Gavin’s after just one date, it’s a perfect excuse for something a lot steamier than hot chocolate in front of the fire. It’s definitely lust. Can it also be love?
My Review
After a miserable breakup, librarian Maureen O’Connell is done with relationships. On a Friday night, when she should be with her guy, she’s instead crying in the ice cream refrigerator at the local supermarket. Her crying doesn’t go unnoticed when Gavin Fraser wants to help her. She can’t believe how sexy he is but she tries to resist. Since she’s no longer interested in a relationship.
She decides to accept an invitation to go on a date with Gavin. Who knew they’d be hit with a sudden snowstorm and be stranded at Gavin’s place. Despite her resolve not to get involved, Maureen is not upset with how this date is turning out.
This is a novella that can be read in just a couple of hours. It’s a cute romance that left me smiling. This is the third book in the Southern Comfort series, but I wouldn’t have known it was part of a series as it is a standalone story. I really liked the writing style, the characters and the setting. I want to read more books by this author.
