Sydney was perfect--he actual embodiment of the perfect woman. She was practically pristine and fresh. She untouchable. She was everything to me. I'd spent the better part of my life trying not to f*** up for Syd, and yet somehow failing miserably.

I loved all of the facets of this book. They way they cared for each other, the unique story line, the suspense, the longing, and the emotion. Their feelings were raw, their chemistry was intense and you could feel the need and insecurities between them. She felt completely insecure, awkward, and thought there was no way he could like her more than a friend. And besides he had a still has hordes of woman all over him. And he does not feel good enough for her and puts her on an unattainable pedestal. It is easier to hide his feelings under meaningless encounters with no emotions involved. But I loved his protectiveness over her. 

The two of them were a functional mess. There was a lot of back and forth with the characters inner monologues not matching their outward actions and words as they hid what they really felt for each other. It takes being snowed in alone on vacation with challenges and danger lurking about to finally expose all of their secrets and desires. 

"Everything, baby, you deserve everything."

In reality, even though I'd been with everyone else, I'd always been Syd's.

But once it is all over and they return home...will they still be friends, more, or nothing at all?

I really liked both Sydney and Kyler despite their flaws. She was guarded, awkward, controlled and a bit naive. Kyler was bossy, sexy, and charismatic, but he also had a vulnerability to him regarding Syd. The transition as they began to truly communicate was tentative, fragile, and then explosive. Once together they were hot, sweet, and emotional. Their connection was deeply ingrained in them and added a depth to their feelings. 

I love this author's writing style. It flows, it all draws you in, and it makes you love her characters. I liked the added suspense, intrigue, and danger in this one and it kept me on the edge. The snow storm background was interesting and added even more issues. I am glad we got both points of view because that was definitely needed in this story. I enjoyed this sweet stand alone read. But I do think that their friends Tanner and Andrea have potential for their own story as well since they seem to have a complicated un-relationship.
