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.

Excerpt

“You were on the phone,” Rory said.

               “I was.”

               She looked at him, clearly waiting for more, her pretty eyes not giving much away. She was so petite a good wind could blow her away, but that analogy implied she was fragile.

               Rory was anything but fragile, and in fact her inner strength was even more attractive to him than her beauty.

               “It was Willa,” he said, willing to give her that. Besides she was more curious than a cat and he wanted to appease that curiosity and fast, before she figured out the rest.

               She looked at him, surprised. “What did she want?”

               Shit. On top of curious as a cat, she was like Carl with a damn bone. He twisted around to buckle Carl back in and then put on his own seatbelt. He turned the engine over and cranked up the radio.

               Rory turned it off. “She already made you drive me, so what now?”

               “Nothing.”

               Rory turned in her seat to fully face him. “Was she checking to see if we’d killed each other?”

               He smiled at that, a thought that had been so close to his own, but she narrowed her eyes, not amused. “What did she want, Max?”

               He went to put the truck in gear but she leaned into him to turn off the engine and grab his keys. Her breast brushed against his arm, giving him another zap of awareness.

               “Come on,” she said. “This is Willa we’re talking about. I love her, but she’s incapable of not sticking her nose in where it doesn’t belong, especially when it comes to me. What did she want?”

               Shit, it’d been two minutes and he was already regretting his “gentle” promise. He looked her right in the eyes. “Nothing.”

               Her eyes went to little slits. “Liar.” She opened her door, revealing that the slush had turned to snow, as she swung his keys from her fingers. “Tell me or say goodbye to your keys.”

               “That’ll strand you too,” he pointed out.

               She raised her eyebrows and he got the message. She didn’t care.

               “Fine,” he said. “She told me to be nice to you. Actually, she said gentle.” While she gaped at that, he snagged the keys from her lax fingers, feeling like an asshole when he leaned into her, reaching past her to slam her door shut.

               She didn’t shrink back, which meant that their bodies once again bumped up against each other, and it was like they knew what his brain couldn’t seem to comprehend—he wanted her. He was a little thrown by that, and the now familiar zing of electricity, only slightly mollified to realize by the way her breath hitched that she felt it too.

               “If you even try to be gentle,” she said, “I’ll get out and walk.”

 

 What I thought about One Snowy Night

I absolutely love this series for two reasons -- it's set in my favorite city, San Francisco and the characters are just so darn lovable.  

Rory hasn't had it easy and she's finally feeling confident enough to work on making amends with her estranged family.  I found it easy to relate to her situation.   She just can't seem to get it right and a snowstorm threatens to prove that she is just as unreliable as her family thinks.  That is until Max shows up to offer her a ride home.

Max is a total hottie with an adorable dog and to make matters even worse, a former high school crush of Rory's.  They have some history, but it isn't exactly a good one. A snowy night and a closed road definitely help to put the past behind them and start a new chapter in their story.

This was a very sweet holiday novella that I really loved and seriously wished was longer!  A great addition to this series!
