This steamy Christmas contemporary romance will burns the pages right off the book. I cared for Gina and how she dealt with facing Darien Foster for the first time in twenty years. Forgive and forget, right? But when she worked with him at her salon, it made things more complicated than she at least expected it at first. And Darien as an exotic-dancer-turned-massage-therapist had turned up the heat. He had a way to melt more than hearts in this romance. I loved the winter scenic settings during the Christmas season in Pennsylvania for the location. The dual themes of the story are that we’ll all mistakes and to follow your heart.
This steamy contemporary romance melts more than ice and snow. This contemporary romance is sexy, sizzling, and cranks up the heat a notch. I had nothing to nitpick on this novel since this was spot on and fantastic. I rated this book, five out of five stars for no specific reason. If you love twisted sexy holiday contemporary romances with a sparkle of humor, tons of romantic drama, and plenty of non-stop sizzling action, Beefcake and Snowflakes is right up your alley. This book is recommended for those who love Hallmark novels, holiday romances, and all types of romantic comedies alike.
This was a wonderful book. Love the story line and how the author keeps your interest. You have a beautiful woman who was verbally hurt by the guy when they were teenagers. He finally shows back up years later and try’s to make it up to her because he has always loved her. Great book!!
Gina is annoying and too dumb to function. Blonde jokes constantly. Flat personalities. The middle school incident was silly. Darian was conceited and unlikeable. These idiots deserve each other.
