short, sweet and super steamy. \u00a0While I&#8217;ve seen them classified more as erotica than romance, they do all have HEAs (or at least HFNs), and while there is character and plot development, it&#8217;s necessarily more compressed since these all fall under 100 pages. \u00a0If you haven&#8217;t picked one of these up before, I&#8217;d highly recommend it!<\/p>\n<p>Noah is the oldest of three brothers that own a lumber company (yes, this is the first in a trilogy, why do you ask?), and has lived most of his life in Rockbridge, a small lumber town in Colorado. \u00a0At one point he tried to move to the city for a woman, but things didn&#8217;t work out, to put it mildly. \u00a0Since then &#8211; ten years ago &#8211; he&#8217;s focused on work and avoided women completely. \u00a0Mia is an accountant that grew up in a small town that slowly became suburbia, and has just moved to Rockbridge after a few years of big city life in Denver. \u00a0While starting a new job and uprooting her whole life has been stressful, she finally feels at home. \u00a0When Noah and Mia cross paths at the town diner, they don&#8217;t even say a single word to each other, but both feel a sudden and deep attraction to the other.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAnd behind his eyes I could see the pain, but also the light that was just waiting to shine brighter again. It was a little on the crazy side, but my instincts told me this man was just like me, moving through life, waiting for&#8230;something more.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While I&#8217;m normally not a fan of instalove &#8211; or, in this case, insta-lust &#8211; the brevity of the story makes it a necessity. \u00a0I think Ms. Snow did a great job with both characters accepting that it was pretty much insane to feel so strongly for each other so soon, while also really selling the idea that what they felt was real and special.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"

chopping wood\" width=\"260\" height=\"260\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The heat level on this is high, including one particular scene that starts out like Chris Evans chopping wood and then goes off into delightfully smutty territory. \u00a0Things move pretty quickly, of course, partly thanks to a snowstorm, but there was quite a bit of tension buildup, as well. \u00a0While Noah got a bit caveman-y for me towards the end, he showed a good deal of restraint by letting Mia make the first move, and following her lead. \u00a0They were quite the sweet couple, though we do only get to see them develop in snippets over the course of about a month.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this is a quick steamy read! \u00a0Perfect if you need a little bit of HEA but don&#8217;t have the time or mental space for a longer read!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-top-left-radius: 2px; border-top-right-radius: 2px; border-bottom-right-radius: 2px; border-bottom-left-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px
