Thank you for Stella Williams and NetGalley for offering a copy of the book for an honest review.

"It was silly, really. He didn't even know her. She was a complete stranger, and yet he wanted to avenge her as if it were his own sister who had been hurt."

When a sudden blizzard keeps people locked inside their houses, Sinai and Dom go from strangers to lovers overnight.

Love author created town romances. I found them fascinating, to see what's important. Mulberry seemed to be a midsized city where Dom's family reigned supreme. Sinai bing a new person in town and exploring the different smaller businesses appealed, too.

I had a hard time reading this book. I couldn't connect with the story or the romance. Honestly, it felt more like erotic with romance haphazardly thrown in. And the amount of times that Sinai had an orgasm over the course of a weekend felt like wish fulfillment.

There was no solid romance or connection. More of a friends with benefits, if that. Neither seemed to be on the same page or in the right head space. Instalove can be tricky to write. Unfortunately, this one fell flat because Dom was 'too perfect' for a week long romance plot.

I'm giving the book 1.5 stars based on the writing style and lack of chemistry between the heroine and hero. Sinai and Dom needed a lot more character development before I could buy them as a couple. The scenes without a man around really made her stand out. I would have preferred to see that growth somewhere in the lust-filled haze.
