This book was so amazing and read practically in a full 24 hours. The characters were exciting and who doesn't love a good brother and sister romance with a sexy 13 year age gap (as adults of course)
It took perspectives I wouldn't exactly say I totally see on other occasions in these types of books but it kept me entertained.
I loved it but why the 4 stars you may ask.. there is a spoiler.

Well they did not mention contrceptives, then she finds out she is pregnant which turns out to be an ectopic pregnancy. As a doula I know this happens in real life, I am just a happy kind of girl that in my books that's not what I am wanting. I was hoping if she did get pregnant that they would actually have a baby.I see the creative difference but I just was hoping all through the book since the lacking contraceptive kept me on edge.
Other than that this book is amazing! Its totally a read and my sister may or may not be next on the reading list!

I seem to be drawn to love stories taking place at snowed in cabins. If only it was THAT easy to find your soulmate. Knowing my luck, I’d end up with some creepy guy not a hot ex soldier. This is my first time reading this author and while I liked Ellie and Henry, the “big drama” that happens is one of my most hated plot twists these books have. Then the book seemed to wrap up rather quickly and I felt they had more of a Happy For Now type ending especially since Henry seemed to have a lot to sort through as did Ellie.
Ellie is a 22 year old virgin who found her boyfriend of two years cheating on her at her graduation party. Since Ellie’s brother was just elected US President, the video of the night goes viral and Ellie decides to escape to her family’s cabin until it blows over. Henry is an ex soldier having a lot of PTSD issues and decides to escape to the cabin as well not knowing Ellie will be there. Ellie has always had a thing for Henry but due to their 13 year age gap, nothing has happened…until now. Henry tries to hold off since he’s best friends with Ellie’s brother but the more time they spend together, the more his resolve fades until he has to have her. And he does, in every way imaginable and then some. The first couple sex scenes were hot but then the book seemed to just be sex scenes and for a girl who is a virgin, she sure lets Henry do some rather kinky shit to her with foreign objects.
While I liked most of this book, I will almost always take stars off for this kind of “twist” because I just don’t see why it’s necessary and nothing about it is hot.

When they started having sex there was no mention of contraception or clean bills of health! Not until when she finds out she's pregnant! Ughhhh!
Unique storyline and low conflict.

Just a little free e-book while in hospital reading.
It was fine. Ellie was kind of irritating but eh.
