Not my favorite Bravo book, the heroine's best friends are married to the hero's and they are tricked by his mother into staying at the same house and a storm comes, they are stranded. The hero is anti-Christmas and life after way too many tragedies on that day, the heroine makes him see differently.

This book was a breeze to read, instantly transporting me back to the early 2000s with its limited use of technology. The absence of modern conveniences like apps and online bookings lent a nostalgic charm to the story, reminding me of simpler times when communication and travel arrangements were handled with a bit more effort.
It also brought back memories of *Silhouette Romance* pocket books—those compact, easily portable reads that you could slip into your bag and carry anywhere. I remember how they were marketed with coupons, encouraging more readership and book purchases. Just like those pocket books, I breezed through this one in a few hours during a power blackout, which took me back to my primary school days when I first discovered these types of stories.
Though I’m not sure when or where I picked up this book, it now holds a place among my more recent 'classic' reads. The story itself is a straightforward love tale, with the age-old trope of enemies to lovers taking center stage. Alongside this familiar theme, the book touches on manipulation, the importance of family, small-town romance, and the hope that love can restore one's humanity and open up a world of unexpected experiences.
While it was a pleasant read that served its purpose for a one-time escape, I doubt I’ll revisit it. It’s a nice, nostalgic journey, but once was enough for me. If you're in the mood for a light, easy read with a touch of early 2000s nostalgia and classic romance themes, this book might just be the perfect pick for you.

A classic story for a single I'm-not-looking-for-a-romance-kind-of woman--snowed in with a handsome guy during the Christmas holiday. Hmmm? I wonder what will happen. Will Bravo, the last of the unmarried-and-liking-it-that-way Bravo's has gone to his grandmother's cabin way back in the woods of Lake Tahoe to hid from Christmas because all the bad things that happened in his life happened at Christmas time. Now he's been invaded by his two brother's wife's best friend, the flighty, Jillian Diamond, writer of an womenly advice column. It's hate at first sight. But it doesn't take long for her to wear him down. By Christmas they're sharing everything, including each other. But one more accident has him shutting down, shutting her out, and shutting himself off to the magic of Christmas.
Not my favorite of the Bravo bachelor's series, but a fun read.
