Nina Sheridan’s on a timeout adventure in the Colorado Mountains. She needs distance from her clueless fiancé, distance to decide whether she wants to spend the rest of her life with a man who doesn’t care enough to learn how she takes her coffee.
Arriving in a blinding snowstorm at the A-Frame she rented, she comes face to face with the most amazing man she’s ever seen. Minutes later, when he kicks her out of his house, she goes head to head with him.
Beyond angry because she’s flown half a world away to start her timeout adventure, not to mention her sinuses hurt, she heads back down the mountain and ends up in a ditch. Unable to extricate herself, she gives up, hopes for rescue and falls asleep in the backseat.
The next morning she wakes up in the amazing man’s bed and she’s sick as a dog.
Holden Maxwell spends days nursing her back to health and then he spends the next two weeks trying to convince her to take her Colorado adventure further, in other words, make it permanent and take a gamble on him.
Nina has a tough time fighting her attraction to Max, especially when it seems all Max’s friends, her mother and stepdad and the whole town want them together and both she and Max get embroiled in the murder of Max’s ex-friend and the town of Gnaw Bone’s most detested resident – a man everyone has motive to kill, especially Max.

I've read this book before but never gotten down to writing a review for it. Most of Kristen Ashley books skim on serious topics, but this one was truly heart wrenching. Suicide is a strong subject for most people and they say it's weak, as I've said before in a review, someone who commits suicide, is strong. Living is easy, you know what's going to happen, killing yourself, your ending up in the unknown. In this novel, Mindy, a young girl, friends of Holden Maxwell's was rapped three weeks before Nina arrived at the A-Frame. She then goes through more and ends up trying to drown herself, thankfully Nina and Max get to her in time. So heartbreaking, the words, the emotion of it and how truly true the words were. Amazing!!
I loved both characters and the story line. I loved there was always something happening, even if it wasn't much. Just like the first time I read it I felt like Nina never got a word in edge ways, but then Max will go off on one saying she needs to say something, it got me mad screaming 'if you'd let her speak then maybe she would have said something'.
Then also there was the issue over his dead wife. She knew, and he had a massive argument with her making her feel selfish. When in fact she did the right thing. It wasn't anyone's business to tell her it was his and she respected him that much she kept quiet until he was ready. Instead of him seeing that or the author addressing that it makes it look like she was in the wrong.
Other than that it's another five star from me. Love her writing style and her men.
