Cooper Heywood is working on his own at Rocky Mountain National Park over the Christmas holiday. It's not a busy time of year but there are a few groups of people he has to watch over. The one that most annoys him is the photographer. In his experience photographers are a real pain in the behind. They don't understand how fast the weather can change in the Rockies and they're determined to take their shot.
Alejandro Velez is an accomplished photographer with several beautiful coffee table photo books to his credit. He’s come to the Rockies to photograph the wintry landscape for his newest book, Let it Snow: The Beauty of Winter. What he doesn't plan on is the instant attraction he feels for the handsome park ranger who wants to keep him cabin-bound.
More than snow flies on the wind, and Cooper and Alejandro soon discover campfires and cocoa aren't the only hot things in the Rockies this winter.

It's an enjoyable holiday season male romance and I like the setting. The national park setting isn't one I've read before, and the blizzard was a nice touch, with good descriptions of the snow and being caught in white-out conditions. Cooper was a nice guy, diligent in his job taking care of the late season campers, Alejandro an interesting man with emotional baggage of being rejected by his family. I liked the interracial aspect of the story but I got tired real fast of the references to him being latin...or latino. Enough already. I got it and so did everyone else. I didn't like being hit over the head with the constant reminder of his ethnic background.
Their relationship moved along at a quick pace, each seeing what they were looking for in the other. I think a little longer length might have helped to smooth out a few of the spots I thought were a bit rushed.
When two different people come together so quickly, is their love enough to keep them together? I like that this book asks that questions, it makes the relationship obstacles last just a wee bit longer.
Kinda meh m/m romance – it actually was mostly ok for a while (bit of awkward language, etc, but not too bad), but then the story basically stopped, jumped to the epilogue, and everything was tied up in a nice tidy bow. *blink blink*
