Six athletes are about to find love this Christmas at the Mynt Peak Resort….
US National Figure Skating Champion Chloe Reynolds arrives at the picturesque Mynt Peak Resort for a charity event. Love? It’s definitely not on her radar. After all, Chloe’s track record with romance is… nonexistent. Over the years, she’s learned that the only person she can truly count on is herself.
Still, a tiny, hopeful part of her secretly wonders if she might catch a glimpse of Drew Sullivan, her best friend Emma’s older brother and the subject of her unrequited crush. He’s never noticed her, and frankly, it’s probably for the best.
Drew Sullivan is trying to get back on his feet. Laid off from his marketing job and living at home, he’s hit an all time low as the delivery guy for his parent’s floral shop. When he finds himself fixing an aquarium at Mynt Peak Resort as a favor to his sister (and a certain suspiciously floaty fish), the last person he expects to literally come crashing into him around the corner is Chloe.
She’s still the talented skater he remembers—smart, breathtakingly beautiful, and utterly out of his league. But when he receives an unexpected invitation to spend some time with Chloe enjoying some tasty peppermint hot chocolates, and a little playful interference from Emma, sparks begin to fly.
Could this be the beginning of a holiday romance neither of them saw coming?
Book Review:
I thought this novella was so adorable! I really loved seeing Chloe and Drew come together and support each other.
I sympathized with Chloe. She was dealing with a lot of imposter syndrome, and she also had been alone a lot of her life. I really loved her relationship with Emma and how they cared for one another. I need Emma to have her own book! But it was sweet to see how Drew came in the picture and really showed up for Chloe as well. But at the same time, Chloe had to learn confidence in herself and being okay with who she was.
I thought Drew was really sweet! He was not where he wanted to be in life, and he was trying to work through that. I liked getting to see him flourish. Even though his romance with Chloe was fast, I felt like it fit both of the characters. They had always liked each other, but they needed this push with some Christmas magic to truly see each other. This was a quick and cute read that I would totally recommend!
