Tempest
He knew better than to touch her...she's his best friend's sister.
Eli Holland was taking a trip back home to Destiny, Colorado. He couldn't have picked a worse time than in the middle of the biggest snowstorms of the year. The person picking him up from the airport was none other than Tempest Bailey, his best friend's younger sister.
She was gorgeous and had always been off-limits. It was an unspoken rule that one doesn't touch the sister of a man who was considered a brother to him. Karver would kill him if he knew the dirty thoughts running through Eli's head involving his little sister.
A flash of her sexy grin and Eli was a goner.
He wanted her.
The drive home was impossible so they checked into a hotel for one night.
All of the innocent flirting in the past was long gone. Tempest's eyes, full hips, and even her dainty toes called to him.
Eli wouldn't make any promises.
He just hoped that come morning, he still had a best friend.

Hot, sweet & sexy. Two hearts finally melt together on a cold winter night stuck in a hotel room. Eli felt guilty breaking his promise to Karver his best friend since youth. He always had feelings for Tempest & the feeling was definitely mutual. But when the storm was unsafe to meet there destiny to Karver's house.
They knew they were in trouble & give into their desires that has built up for years.
Tempest wanted nothing more than to have this to happen. She has wanted to for so long.
Well her wish came true with no regrets. Except telling her big bother.
What was going to happen to Eli's friendship with his best friend. Karver was the closest thing to having a brother. They had both been there for Eli when he lost his parents with a few years apart.
This little nibble of a story was great with of course a happy ending. I was thrilled that they didn't have the guys have a drag down fight.

I love this book about how Tempest's brother (Karver) asked her to pick up his friend Eli from the airport. She had no problem except there is a snowstorm that is bad. She reached the airport and picks up Eli and they can not make the drive back to her brother's house because of the snow is whiting everything out and they do not want to risk the drive. They go to a Hotel it only has one room left they take it and while there they realize their feelings for each other and act on them. The next day they have to think about what her brother is going to say when he gets into town. I love this book. 5 Stars.
I hope there is a book 2.

It was a sweet HEA and the right amount of smut for a short story. I received it for free but it was adorable and a very cute short read for a romance. Maybe not realistic for an actual Colorado native but cute all the same.

This novella was short, sweet, sexy, and a perfect palate cleanser! I have been reading some weightier books, and this was the perfect reprieve! I’m also always a sucker for the big brother’s best friend trope!
