Christmas Sweater Weather
Jaqueline Snowe. Forever, $17.99 trade paper (368p) ISBN 978-1-5387-3983-9
Snowe (Snowed in for Christmas) whisks readers to a cozy ski resort for this intoxicating brother’s best friend romance. Charlotte Calhoun has crushed on her brother Christian’s bff, Hayden Porter, for as long as she can remember Three years ago, she made her feelings known—only for Hayden to tell her he sees her as nothing more than a little sister. Now Charlotte must dodge Hayden at Christian’s destination bachelor party in the two weeks leading up to Christmas lest they get caught under the inconveniently ubiquitous mistletoe. Single father Hayden has no time for romance and knows Christian would hate him for sleeping with his sister, but he’s struggling to suppress his own long-ignored attraction to Charlotte. Maybe what they both need to cut the sexual tension is to get it out of their systems with a no-strings-attached fling—so long as Christian never finds out. There’s not much depth to these characters, but Charlotte’s humor proves a good match for Hayden’s broodiness, and the winter wonderland setting adds charm to their equally sweet and sexy romance. Snowe brings the feels. (Oct.)
