This was a really good and unique short. A lot of story was covered well in few pages and I thought the open ending was better than a traditional HEA would have been. So, obviously, if an HEA is a must for you, you will be frustrated. If you are ok with sacrificing the HEA for a more realistic ending, than definitely dive in.
The story is told by and for Paul. The cleansing interlude at Nolan's cabin was perfect for them both.

It was a solid but short encounter and romance short story would love to see more of this story.

I thought this book was pretty good, overall. Slow to start, but I was very absorbed in the story by the end. Two hot, secretly gay men become trapped together in a cozy, well-stocked cabin when a blizzard hits. Of course, this forces them to resort to indoor activities as a means to get to know one another. Um, seriously, what's not to like about that set up?

Great story but...
I expected a different ending. I wanted a different ending. The story was very entertaining as well as Paul's imagination. His mind would go off and it was actually pretty cool. I also like them together because they were like two young boys having fun and enjoying each others company. But again, I wanted it to end differently.

I really enjoyed this book. Both main characters are very likeable. It was a shorter book, but was written well. I am more of a fan of HEA endings instead of just leaving it, but would definitely read a second book if one was published. Great job!

Short but had lots of substance. I would read more from the author.

it was a nice short read. I especially liked that it didn't follow the cliché of the two people falling in love and living happily ever after.

Ok Not Great
OK storyline, ships passing in the night type, without the gay bar pickup scene. Would have like more about Nolan?s past.
