This was a quick, sweet Christmas romance. Another one of our favorite Bro Code guys falls hard. 
I enjoyed the forced proximity and their banter. Watching them both try to navigate their awkward situation and their feelings was fun. 
There was angst, passion, emotion & being very flustered.

This was a great holiday novella for this series with the long awaited HEA for Cash Rivers. I really liked that Pippa didn’t try to force a full novel out of this couple, she gave us a great romance without any unnecessary drama. 

Because this was a novella, we kind of skipped over the meet cute and started from the middle. At this point Cash and Aspen have known each other for about a year and have kept things largely professional or plutonic as they mutually pined after each other. Cash believes he’s too old for Aspen and doesn’t want to take advantage of her and Aspen has past trauma that keeps her from letting anyone past her walls. 

When Aspen and Cash get snowed in for the holidays at a remote cabin, things shift for them. They are able to be open and honest about their feelings and their friendship turns into so much more. I always love when a celebrity is portrayed as cocky and confident and is really just a little shy and awkward without the Hollywood script, and that’s exactly what Cash is. He knew how to play the Hollywood game, but before he even met Aspen face to face, he knew she was different. 

I really liked this short glimpse back to some of my favorite Pippa Grant characters. Cash Rivers was definitely worth the wait.
