Celibate Cold

by Lynn Townsend

A careless driver sweeps newcomer Topher Brookman off the road and into the ditch, six miles from home. Ill-equipped to walk home, Topher staggers into the yard of a stranger. Life in a rural, conservative town has taught Topher to keep his mouth shut, but his host is just gorgeous, and Topher's brain is more than half-frozen, anyway.


Chase Miller loves winter and the snow, but finds life hard in his hometown. He’s been looking for a way to get out, or maybe, just maybe, a reason to stay. When a snow-covered, handsome guy ends up seeking refuge in Chase’s home during the storm, Chase can’t help but flirt. Because country boys know, where there’s a spark, there’s usually flame.

[A.M. Leibowitz · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was delightfully sexy and steamy. Both Chase and Topher are likable, and they have terrific chemistry. The story is exactly what it should be when it comes to a snowstorm hookup: A good time had by all but with the dangling possibility for more. Not an instant-love-connection tale, just two men warming up by the fire.
