If you're seeking a light, holiday romance story then this could well be the perfect book for you.

Emily Ammerman is a single 29 year old only child, with an MBA and working in the family ski lodge business as a highly respected ski instructor. Her best friend from early childhood, Kylie, has the same job. She and Emily are more like siblings. Emily's parents have tucked Kylie under their wings and included her in all family gatherings. Emily's parents are eager to pass the management torch to Emily who is not so certain that she's ready. Her father gets a call from a competitive ski lodge owner asking for Emily's private instruction of an actor who is known to perform most of his own stunts on screen, (and who just happens to be Kylie's heart-throb-du-jour). Emily agrees to the deal. Emily has secretly been a fan of this actor for years and is quite tongue-tied when they finally meet. Can Emily keep it together; get this guy trained adequately to perform his stunts and keep it all professional? Only time will tell.

Author Fern Michaels has crafted a fun, light story which settles around the holiday time leading up to Thanksgiving and segueing into the Black Friday holiday decorating spree. There's snow, Christmas music, family and hot chocolate - all perfect ingredients for a fun holiday romance. As I read the story, I could easily imagine it broadcast across the Hallmark channel. The story is introduced, secrets are held, conflicts arise and all is ironed out before the credits roll. I found the writing clear and the characters somewhat developed. The scene setting was as pretty as a picture. Sounds like the perfect place to fall in love.

I am grateful to Kensington Books for having provided a complimentary copy of this book through Goodreads First Reads. Their generosity, however, has not influenced this review - the words of which are mine alone. ( )
