Tiny Home for Christmas
by Erin Lucy, Erin Lucy
After 4 years estranged, Scarlett is headed to Florida for Christmas with her family - either to reunite or get closure. A freak superstorm sees her holed up in a small out of the way caravan park, waiting out the storm in her Ford Transit van.
Meanwhile, Nick, also heading home to Florida for the holidays, pulls his tiny house into the caravan park to weather storm. When Scarlett's heater dies, she is forced to seek shelter in Nick's tiny house - despite them being complete strangers.
And so begins a getting-to-know you scenario as vegan Scarlett and her dog Tater negotiate the temporary living situation with Nick and his dog Hazel. Scarlett is guarded (understandable, in a strange man's home!) and prickly; Nick antagonises and provokes... until after an unfortunate event with a Taser they fall into a slightly less awkward rhythm that develops into friendship - or something more? But each have issues from their pasts, and neither are willing to open up to the other fully.
Overall, this was a fun holiday romance - relatable characters with baggage, snowstorms, cosy houses (I want Nick's tiny home!) and the magic of the season. We have crafts and social media and the stubbornness of less-than-clever pugs. There are also some deeper, darker undercurrents that explain why the characters are the way they are. Zero spice in this - it's all about the relationships first and foremost... with juuust a hint of romance peeking in. A fun read; I zoomed through this in a day
