This was a new author to me and I am glad I took the chance on her work. Josh and Sophie were a great match. They both have a past and have a lot to overcome to get to their HEA.
I received an advance copy from NetGalley, Publisher or Author for an honest review and want to thank them for the opportunity.

After her con man fiancé leaves her penniless, chef Sophie gets a temporary job at a resort in the Italian Dolomites. There, she meets ski instructor Josh, who's recovering from his own failed career and failed romance. The attraction between them is strong, and their professional relationship turns personal. Until secrets threaten to tear them apart.

Sophie and Josh make an adorable couple. She's sweet and full of life, but she's lost confidence in herself. Her vibrant attitude helps him get past his cynicism, while his admiration helps her see past her mistakes.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
