Ashley is
fresh out of college and ready to embark on a new life as a working adult. But
then her car careens off the road in the middle of a terrible snow storm. Lucky
for her, Colton Drake, the mysterious hottie, shows up and takes her to his
cabin, where he nurses her sprained ankle and gives her a place to stay. Like
the tile of the book indicates, the two are stranded.
Strictly in
the POV of Ashley, the story slowly unravels the alluring mystery that is
Colton Drake. The attraction she feels for his is tangible and irresistible.
The two
manage to have fun playing in the snow and watching movies. A friendship blooms
before romance envelopes them in a cozy embrace. I like that the sex didn’t go
into too much detail. You can say a lot without having to actually say it.
Of course,
no good love story would be without its complications, and that name is Rachel,
Drake’s supposed girlfriend whom he states is not that serious. Can you blame
Ashley for refusing to be Drake’s little play thing? Being that this was all in
Ashley’s words, you naturally feel for her—how strongly she feels for Drake,
how dumb she feels for falling hard and fast for him, and how determined she
feels for forgetting about him.
The reader
will want to root for Drake and Ashley, but will cheer more for Ashley’s fierce
ambition and resolve to make it on her own. My only complaint was that it didn’t
really have an ending, which prompts me to want to check out the next
installment in the series to find out what happens.
Sweet and
Simple. I absolutely love New Adult stories like this.
My rating: 4 stars
