About ONE SNOWY NIGHT:
It’s Christmas Eve and Rory Andrews is desperate to get home to the family she hasn’t seen in years. Problem is, her only ride to Lake Tahoe comes in the form of the annoyingly handsome Max Stranton, and his big, goofy, lovable dog Carl.
Hours stuck in a truck with the dead sexy Max sounds like a fate worse than death (not), but Rory’s out of options. She’s had a crush on Max since high school and she knows he’s attracted to her, too. But they have history… and Max is the only one who knows why it went south.
They’ve done a good job of ignoring their chemistry so far, but a long road trip in a massive blizzard might be just what they need to face their past… and one steamy, snowy night is all it takes to bring Max and Rory together at last.

When Rory came out of the woods, Max really wanted not to care that she was wearing more snow than clothes and shivering, but he couldn’t do it. He watched while with shaking hands she carefully shook off before climbing into the truck. Then she stripped out of her jacket that clearly wasn’t waterproof.
This left her in a soft off-white sweater that was damp and clinging to her like a second skin. She wore a white lace bra, also damp, and not doing much to hide the fact that she truly was cold. And he was absolutely concentrating on that and how she looked like she needed a hot cheeseburger, and not her nipples, two hard little beads threatening to poke through both the lace and the material of her sweater.
Had he thought of her as the sweet, girl-next-door type? Maybe if the girl next door was pinup material, because damn. Sitting there with her long waves clinging to her face and shoulders and chest, giving him peekaboo glimpses of her perfect breasts, he couldn’t remember why he didn’t like her and didn’t want to like her.
“What?” she said, wrapping her arms around herself. “You’ve never seen cold nipples before?”
Yes, but not ones that made his mouth water to taste. Kiss. Nibble. Suck into his mouth… “Did you see any bears?”
Rolling her eyes, she pulled a hair tie from around her wrist and used it to contain the wet mass of waves on top of her head.
He handed her a towel, but she shook her head. “I’m fine.”
“Yeah, if fine is drenched and cold,” he said. “Take it. It’s not the same one I used on Carl.”
“I wouldn’t care about that,” she said. “But you might have to stop and put on chains soon and you’ll need a towel for yourself.”
“We’re not going to need chains,” he said. “I’m in four-wheel drive and we’ve got good tires. Now use the damn towel, you’re dripping all over the place.”
As he knew it would, this galvanized her into action and she ran the towel over herself in jerky motions. When she was done, she was still shivering, and after a hesitation, she pulled off her damp sweater.
This left her in a white camisole and aforementioned white lace bra, neither of which were all that significant.
“You going to stare at me all night or get us back on the road?” she asked coolly.

"It wasn't just his eyes. His voice was rough and sexy, and for that matter, so was the rest of him."
Jill is the queen of feel-good romance. If you've been reading the Heartbreaker Bay series, you're probably like me and have been aching to hear what is up with Rory and Max. Every encounter they've had in the previous books has been fraught with tension and anger. I'm glad to finally get their backstory.
Rory and Max are from the same hometown and as far as Rory is concerned, they don't really have much of a history beyond Rory's schoolgirl crush on Max from high school. Rory is returning home for Christmas for the first time in many years. She's made a habit of letting her family down in the past and is determined to finally follow through on a promise. Max has been enlisted to help Rory make it home in time for the festivities. Unfortunately, the weather is just as determined to keep them from making it home in one piece.
The attraction between Max and Rory has always been so real that it could almost be it's own character. While his body makes plans for Rory, Max's mind can't get past the selfish, unfeeling girl who (unknowingly) destroyed his future back in high school. He may be driving her home, but he doesn't have to like it.
This isn't a very long story or even that deep of one, but it definitely fills in the holes surrounding the tension between these two. It's also hot enough to melt the piles of snow blocking the path between San Franscisco and Tahoe.
4 out of 5 Stars
