With Mia’s boss away for the holidays, she finally has a chance to prove herself worthy for the position of manager of the rustic Powder Peaks Lodge. But as a blizzard rolls into Hidden Hollow, the small town just outside of Park City, Utah, Mia is given far more than she bargained for in running the hotel—and avoiding her only VIP guest and ex-boyfriend, Elliot James.

When TV star Elliot shows up to the hotel for his family’s annual Christmas ski vacation, he beats the incoming storm by mere hours—and his family by days. Cut off from the world, Elliot determines to help Mia deal with the guests and effects of the blizzard—even if she wants nothing to do with him.

As Mia and Elliot put aside their past and work together to care for the inhabitants of Powder Peaks Lodge, will sparks fly under the mistletoe?

I loved book one in this series so much that I had to read book two. There isn’t any real crossover in the books; their similarities are that they’re short Christmas novels.

Whereas book one leaned into the fake dating trope, book two is a second chance and celebrity love story. Usually I’m not a fan of second-chance romance, especially when the first relationship was in high school (too much can happen in the ten years from 18 to 28). This book was a little more unrealistic than the first book (you can’t fix a washed out bridge in three days), but the heart of the romance still comes through.

Overall, however, this was a cute story that definitely scratched the Hallmark-Christmas-movie itch. 3.5 out of five stars.
