Bunny Hills and Bikinis
Sunny California? Not so much. Amelia's stuck at the office retreat in frickin' Lake Tahoe with a grabby colleague who thinks he's God's gift to women. At least the workshop presenter is super hot... if only she can get him to take her from the bunny hill to the bedroom.
Amelia Brooks agrees to a weekend retreat in California, thinking it will be held in sunny Malibu only to find out she's stuck in chilly Lake Tahoe for four long days--just what a girl from Minnesota wants to hear in the middle of winter. Now instead of wiggling her toes in the sand, her feet are squeezed into her new manufactured-by-Satan-himself-uncomfortable boots. If that's not enough, Amelia's obnoxious colleague William has decided this is the weekend they'll finally be together and he won't keep his thoughts--or his hands--to himself.
Amelia's ready to kick off those boots and peel off her wooly sweater once she meets Nate Miller--the workshop's hunky presenter. But Nate's not ready to settle down. He's seen his workshop buddies fall in love then fall out of the running for being promoted to the big city workshop circuit and he's not about to let that happen to his life's dream--until he gets involved with Amelia. Now he's not so sure he can walk away at the end of the weekend with his heart intact and his promotion in hand.
Now Amelia's got four days to stave off William's persistent advances long enough to fall in love with Nate and possibly...learn to ski the bunny hill.

I really enjoyed the way the author was able let us get inside the head of Amelia. It' s like you get to listen to her innermost thoughts and feels. I found the characters likeable and I wanted Amelia and Nate to be together!! Great new author! This one is a keeper.

This was a light read for a rainy evening.
I loved the hero, Nate, at first. Then he got jealous when he saw the heroine with another guy and started to act like kind of a jerk. Also, I thought there would be a real camaraderie between Nate and Jim, but the reader doesn't get to see that; Jim is just trying to get ahead and get Nate out of the picture. Likewise, Amelia's friends didn't really stand out as good secondary characters to me.
Despite his obnoxious behavior throughout most of the story, I really liked William. I'd like to see a book about him and how he changed after Amelia rejected him.
Amelia is described as "tough," and a woman who can take care of herself, but to me, she came off as kind of an airhead. Why didn't she tell anyone at her job about William's advances? Why does she always worry about trivial little problems? Don't sweat the small stuff, Amelia, because later in life, you may have to deal with much worse problems than slow elevators.

Adorable and very sexy about a whirlwind, long weekend romance among the ski slopes. The instalove between the main couple after 3 days is ridiculous though and made me lower my grade. The heroine's co-worker who is obsessed with her starts out creepy but then became very annoying.
I would give this a B- because I did enjoy it.

Cute & funny short romance. 2 guys interested in the same girl. One was the presenter at her weekend work retreat & the other guy was an office mate who has been trying to pursue her. Very likable characters.
