Review<\/b><\/h4>\n

3.5 stars<\/b><\/p>\n

This is a really quick read, a fun little novella that is a bonus for the Hermosa Beach<\/i> series, giving side-character, Otto a sweet love story. With only minimal interaction with the main characters of the Hermosa Beach series, this can easily be read as a standalone.<\/p>\n

Otto is launching a new business endeavour for his company, and he will be travelling to Switzerland over the Christmas week, dragging his reluctant assistant along with him. Otto and Quinn bicker constantly \u2013 she thinks he\u2019s privileged and shallow, he plays up on her animosity with his teasing and needling. But Otto is determined to prove to Quinn that he\u2019s not a bad guy. A week in snowy luxury proves to be just what they need to need to strip off their workplace personas and really get to know each other. And would you know it… sparks fly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to kiss you,\u201d he tells me, his voice coming out hoarse, like he\u2019s aching. \u201cI\u2019ve been wanting to all day, and the only thing that will stop me is if you tell me not to.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s a fun, sweet, sexy and romantic read, and I enjoyed this one.<\/p>\n

3.5 stars.<\/p>\n
