This book is a story of overcoming fears
and allowing yourself to love.
Kaylie Peterson is running, running from an
abusive husband who is due to come out of jail, and running from her life
hoping for a new one. She chooses a terrible time to leave though as a col
front comes in and results in her crashing her car in the snow covered Sierra Nevada mountain’s.
“Slowing her speed, Kaylie felt
as if she was barely inching her way up the mountain. She suddenly hit a patch
of black ice, losing all traction. Her muscles tightened in panic, Kaylie
screamed as she lost control of the car.”
Drake Givens is ex military, heading back
up the mountain to his cabin, his sanctuary, he sees the flashers of Kaylee’s
car and drags her out, taking her back to the cabin to recover and recuperate
as he knows the weather won’t allow him back down to the town.
You quickly get an insight into Kaylee and
Drakes character as they interact. Kaylee is obviously frightened but deep down
you get a sense that she is a strong woman, this is quickly affirmed as her
feelings for Drake grow. Drake is a typical ‘bloke’ he’s tough and strong, but
as with many ex military he has his demons, these actually make him an
extremely likeable character and allow him to sense Kaylee’s fear and deal with
it in a sensitive manner.
As trust grows, so does passion, and boy,
are Kaylee and Drake hot!!
“Kaylies body responded slowly, gradually warming to
Drakes kiss; the gentleness of it was almost hesitant. When they separated,
Kaylie had to know if she’d
imagined that touch and her tongue slipped past her own lips to seek and savor
the taste of him.”
Unfortunately, Kaylee’s ex isn’t going to
take her ‘running’ lightly and accept it, as he chases her and the net closes,
Kaylee and Drake are discovering each other, this is the last thing they need.
There is just the right amount of love,
lust and suspense in this wonderful read. Curl up on a winters weekend with a
hot chocolate and Cold Heat – perfect!!
