This is a quick holiday novella that is perfect for fans of the snowed in together trope. The second chance romance aspect definitely heightens the tension. I feel like this story needed more pages to really flesh out the plot it tried to tackle. Their resolution felt rushed considering their minimal communication. It made it harder to connect with the characters. Despite that this novella will have you wanting to curl up by the fireplace.

I never imagined that I would like this novella so much. It is very emotional, and at a certain part of the book I had tears in my eyes. Kandi Steiner knows how to make you get into the role of the characters and feel what they feel.
Eliza is so funny and cute, and River is so grumpy, but so sweet when he shows his feelings towards Eliza.
Due to the very bad and cold weather, Eliza is forced to spend time with River in his cabin, until the snow subsides and she can continue on her way to her parents' house. At first, both are very withdrawn due to an event in the past, but the coldness between them melts as they start to communicate and realize certain things.
When you get to the part where Eliza wants to decorate River's cabin, you'll understand why everything gets more and more emotional, and also the meaning behind the title.
Kandi Steiner won me over with this novella and I really recommend that you read it too. Now I will definitely read more books written by this author.
