Melt
Kick off the holiday season with this sexy collection of five brand new romance novellas.
Rocky Mountain Meltdown by Harley Easton
Writer Tessa Hazel can't stand the cold, so when her agent banishes her to a Colorado ski lodge in January, she's far from happy. To make things worse a surly hotel worker and her favorite frienemy are working to keep her out of the arms of a sexy ski instructor. Will a little extra snow fix everything or cause Tessa a major meltdown?
Body Heat by CM Peters
Whether it's in the green valleys of Ireland or the cool land of Maine, love can bloom and wither as fast as a snowflake. Is it a good omen when two lonely hearts meet on a stormy night? Can they make it through when everything pulls them apart?
Off-Season by Marie Piper
Winter in a rafting town means blessed solitude as far as Eva is concerned, until sexy rafting guide Charlie shows up on New Year's Eve. If the two of them can survive an ice storm, a bear, and each other, they just might realize they're perfect together.
Finding Home by Sienna Saint-Cyr
When Marina scheduled her long overdue vacation to Leavenworth, Washington, all she’d wanted was a chance to sip her tea in the adorable Bavarian village and forget about her ex. But her plans quickly went awry when a hipster in a beanie stormed into the teashop demanding his rental manager fix her mistake… for she’d rented his cabin to Marina, while he’d planned to be there.
Damsel by Stephanie Bissette-Roark
Cassandra never wanted to return to that old, converted barn atop the hill. But when her estranged father leaves it all to her in his will, she journeys home to discover if any part of her broken past still remains. She didn’t expect to find Ethan Bailey waiting for her, a strange man who kindles in her powerful—but unwanted—feelings of familiarity. When a treasured childhood toy transports her into an imaginary world, Cassandra will come face-to-face with a man that looks just like Ethan, but whose medieval garb tells a different story. As the lines between make-believe and reality blur, will her new companion bring healing love and open her heart in the real world or will the monster of her past consume her?
All proceeds from this collection will go charities that support mental health research and aide.

Melt is a collection of five amazing novellas. If one doesn’t do it for you because it’s a little heavy on the damsel in distress needing to be saved by a lumberjack of a man who knows his way around some ice, go to the next one. But you shouldn’t have to. Each one is pretty awesome in its own right.
The heat in all of these stories sizzles enough to keep anyone warm, be they in the mountains of Colorado, a tiny pub in Ireland, the Smoky Mountains, Washington, or trapped in a town of her own creation.
This collection straddles geography, as well as the line between fantasy and reality or the line between sweet and downright, dead sexy.
If you don’t pick it up on a cold, snowy evening—your loss.
The total win for me, came in “Off-Season” by Marie Piper, with the creative use of Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart.”
But that’s not to say the rest isn’t worth it. The guys are downright swoon-worthy in all of the pieces, especially the nickname Liam gives to Carina in “Body Heat” by C.M. Peters.
Harley Easton sets the scene with “Rocky Mountain Meltdown” with a struggling writer (ha! I know how that goes) and a little vengeance. Who doesn’t love it when jerks get theirs?
Most of all, who doesn’t like good, hot sex that leaves you lusting after fictional characters?
Cause baby, it’s cold outside and this one’s got it all.

I was gifted this book by the author after winning it in an author takeover.
Rocky Mountain Meltdown by Harley Easton
This was a sweet and quick read. The story is about an author who along with her rival are checked into a ski resort for the weekend of writing and working.
Tessa is none to thrilled for the burly lumberjack, Bryce, who seems to keep judging her but is thankful for the hot as heck ski instructor, Kevin….or is she.
It seems our burly and grumpy lumberjack has a few secrets in the closet in regard to Tessa and her writing.
The story made me laugh at the antics of our rival author because who doesn’t love to see an enemy get their much deserved paybacks! But seeing the connection between Bryce and Tessa develop and the ending chapter was a sweet ending to the story.
Off-Season by Marie Piper
This story was probably my favorite of the set of stories.
Eva was left her uncle’s diner in a small rafting town. Eva is quite happy to live her life in solitude because she doesn’t feel she is good enough to be with the person she really desires. Her fear and insecurity make her push him away at every turn.
Charlie is the owner of the main rafting group in the area and he is head over heals for Eva. He has no idea what he did in the past to make her run but he is dead set on claiming her for the new year.
The couple have major issues because Eva thinks so many wrong things about Charlie is doesn’t really believe him when he tells her the truth. When a scary situation with Charlie makes Eva run to help him, she slow opens her heart to what he might be….a really good guy.
I really enjoyed seeing Eva open up to Charlie and seeing him help her overcome some of her insecurities within herself.

Overall, this collection of novellas provided a good, light read. Throughout the pieces, there was not a great deal of conflict, nor eroticism; I would have like to have see more of both. The male characters were rugged, and I felt as though I could smell the wood burning in the fireplaces. Perfect collection for a snow day.
