This book is such a breath of fresh air, and so comforting. It's such a great, polyamorous spin on the love triangle, with the forced proximity trope added into the mix. If you love "snowed in" stories, I'd highly recommend this! It's especially great if you've ever dealt with burnout - it feels like a hug.

I love the voice on this one. Charlie the MC is burnt out and says yes to a work trip. While there they realize their Airbnb is not vacated and then a snow storm hits.
Though lucky for them, they are with one of their idols and her husband and daughter. So far there is poly vibes happening. They all seem so comfortable together and this town they are in has such a tight knit queer community. Really enjoyed this one! I love poly romances.
Despite being set in the snow it felt warm and cozy

"Really Cute People" by Markus Harwood-Jones was, well, really cute and extremely unique! Some readers might be turned off by the insta-love of it all, but it really didn't bother me. It does start very, very slowly at first, but once the main character, Charlie, meets the other characters, Buffy and Hayden, things start moving quickly and spicily. I enjoyed all of the characters in this story, particularly Buffy. Buffy's dynamic with Hayden was both alluring and extremely collaborative. And not to mention, sexy! Once the three of them are snowed in for a whirlwind weekend, their relationship quickly becomes intimate. I think this book also boasts an engaging, interesting glance at polyamory. I'm not sure I have read many (if any) books where the characters are polyamorous, but I sure appreciate the representation. I think this story works so well because all of the characters are likable despite their flaws. I also like the commentary on both burnout and found family. I appreciate the open-door spice in such a representative queer story! This was a great read that could have benefitted from a little bit of tightening up in its earlier chapters.
Thank you to NetGalley, Markus Harwood-Jones, Harlequin - Romance, and Carina Adores for the complimentary ARC of this book. All opinions are my own. I was not compensated for this review.
