Lena Phillips and Frank Campbell are headed to Colorado for a professional conference. The couple is far from being friends, however, and bickering is one of their favorite pastimes. On their way, they find themselves on a country road and, because of their arguing, they have an accident. They are lost and alone. Will they be able to resolve their differences in order to survive? Will facing the elements allow them to discover their true feelings for one another? Follow Lena and Frank as their love is revealed in a permanent truce.
This was a fun story. I didn't like Lena the main female character at first -she is very cold and quite frankly a witch! But as the story moves along she thaws out a little and relaxes and turns out not so bad. Some of the time it was tense but it in a very funny way so it was a joy to read! It is a quick very enjoyable story!!
The Holiday Truce by Felicia Rogers Lena and Frank are riding together from FL to CO. It's near Christmas so the boss didn't want her to pick a married man with kids. She really tries to get along with him but...he really tries to get along with her. When they become stranded and not dressed for the weather they find a cabin with cans of food. He takes charge and makes a fire to keep them warm. Outhouse is another story. They nag at one another and decide to call a truce to get through the ordeal of being lost. What I like about this is how different the two are but they are thrown together for very long road trip around the holidays. Love the cabin and only cans of beans to survive on. Outhouse has much traffic. Because they spend so much time together they talk to one another... Short but tragic and funny all at the same time.
This story was one out of five short stories to win the Celebrate the Season Contest. All five stories are in the Celebrate the Season Anthology. Broken down into five parts, now you can enjoy this novella on it's own.
This book barely took me an hour to read. My Kindle doesn't show number of pages, but it couldn't be very long. Needless to say, there wasn't very much story development really barely a story at all.
