I wanted to read this book because I started the Grim & Beast duet, Bea Paige had stated her reading order, and I realized that I basically started at the end instead of at the beginning. I was interested in to see the correct reading order and see how it all started. I didn’t realize this was a Christmas reads, and I cannot believe I read a Christmas read in October. But it was very enjoyable, I just wanted it to be longer. 

This book is based on Louisa and to her, the Christmas period has never been full of joy and cheer, unless you count a drunk mother and her trail of deadbeat boyfriends. So, when she gets the opportunity to become a chalet girl in the resort of Alpe d’Huez in the French Alps she jumps at the chance. Only she gets more than she bargained for when her assigned family turn out to be three hot bachelor brothers with a penchant for partying and women. When Louisa is asked to join the brothers on a trip to a remote log cabin high up in the mountains, she has no choice but to go or risk losing her job. Only things don’t go according to plan when a heavy snowstorm hits trapping Louisa and the three horny brothers for the entire Christmas weekend. Can Louisa fend off their advances or will she succumb to an Avalanche of Desire?  

I liked the introduction of the characters and the storyline of the chalet girl, the only thing was the whole way through I kept thinking about the film Chalet Girl with Felicity Jones and Ed Westwick. I liked the deep conversations they’ve had like why Max liked brushing Louisa’s hair and why Hudson was the way he is. The smut was spicy, and you got to see the different between the three boys and they weren’t all blended into one. The chemistry took a while to grow on me because I would have more of the enemies and more tension before all the smut, but once they had the meaningful conversations and you learnt why they were acting this way, I sort of got it.  

I would have loved for this to be multiple POV, why were the guys attracted to her when she was such a bitch at first? How did they bring up the conversation for all of them to have her and surely some of them was a bit possessive and jealous? I would have loved the conversation Hudson had with his manager and how he was feeling when that went down. I wanted to know what happened when they got to the chalet? Did Hudson carrying on paying for Louisa like an employee or did she leave her job before the new of her mums passing? How did Louisa’s mum pass? It was quite a short book, and it managed to pack a lot but not enough for me.  

It is the first book in the series, and I am hoping these issues are addressed within the next two books in the trilogy.
