About this ebook
A woman expecting to spend the holidays alone finds warmth in the iciest man she knows in this steamy and charming later-in-life romance by New York Times bestselling author Jane Porter.
It’s been five years since Andi McDermott lost her husband, and she's finally starting to feel like herself again, ready to live fully—she’s even started dating again. But when her holiday plans with her stepson and his fiancée fall through, she refuses to spend another Christmas alone while everyone is celebrating with their families. Impulsively, she decides to go up to her cabin in Lake Arrowhead, a place she used to love to visit but hadn’t gone to in years, not since the feud started between her husband and their nearest neighbor.
Andi starts to rethink her decision when being alone at the cabin proves to be more challenging than she expected—a heavy snowstorm hits the area, and Andi finds herself trapped there with no one to help except for her neighbor, Wolf Enders. A military vet who lives full-time on Lake Arrowhead, Wolf is as grumpy and intimidating as Andi remembers. But he’s also unexpectedly kind and uncomfortably sexy—his presence reminds Andi that she may be older, but her body still works perfectly fine, thank you very much. But can this good girl tame this sexy beast of a man, and will this snowy fling turn into a love of a lifetime?

I absolutely loved Andi and Wolf’s story! Wolf is my favorite hero that I’ve read in a long time. His protectiveness was so endearing. I also enjoyed Andi’s strength to have dealt with such a loss. The older characters also make it seem so much more real than other books. As always Jane Porter has written another fabulous book and I can’t wait for the final story in the series!

I really loved this older couple love story. Wolf was all bark, but no bite and inside was really just a squishy teddy bear. Andi was just looking to find her new place in life when the life that she knew was taken away from her. Together these two just worked. They both gave something to the other that they were missing. Overall this was a great 4.5 star read.
