Talia & Rafe
Talia is having a tough day ~ she’s lost her job and got dumped by someone she knew wasn’t right for her, so she’s not too brokenhearted. Rafe is an overworked CEO and doesn’t have time to date, but he can’t go alone to his Christmas party again this year, so he invites Talia to be his fake date. As a thanks he’s offering her his cabin in Scotland to take some time to herself…but it turns out she won’t be alone and they’ll get snowed in there together.
There are some Christmasy vibes and I loved that they went sledding together, so fun! There’s a smidgen of lack of communication since each pined for the other, but never said anything, so that’s some time a wasted. But I gotta say, it was a breath of fresh air for brother Leo to not have any issues at all with their relationship, a rarity with this trope.
Overall, a quick read with just the right amount of steamage for a novella. A solid debut.
*Thanks to the author and Rachel’s Random Resources for the ARC. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review*
Series notes:
The next book in the series will follow Talia’s brother, Leo.
Book blurb:
All she wants for Christmas is peace and quiet.
All he wants for Christmas isā¦ her.
Losing her job and boyfriend weeks before Christmas leaves Talia feeling more bah humbug than filled with festive spirit. The last thing she needs is Christmas with her chaotic family and Rafe Scott, her brotherās grumpy best friend and long-term star of her hottest fantasies.
Her heartās deepest desire if sheās honest with herself.
But when Rafe comes along with an offer she canāt refuseāuse of his familyās cottage in Scotland in exchange for a date to his companyās holiday partyāTalia gratefully accepts. A quiet, wintry escape sounds like heaven and a few hours in Rafeās company couldnāt hurt.
Until it does.
Fleeing to her Scottish Highland retreat, Taliaās longed-for peace doesnāt last long when a bitter storm brings snow and the one man she desperately wants but cannot have. Now snowed in together for the holiday season, will their simmering attraction keep them warm or will they both get burned?
One Week With You is a steamy contemporary holiday novella containing strong language and sexual scenes.
