I’ll be honest, this gave me a bit of whiplash, so much so that I had to put the book down for a bit and sort of reorient my brain before I continued on. So I will just say that we go from sort of a cozy snowbound story to super intense suspense in a really rapid turnaround. I don’t want to get into too much detail as to what happens and why, because the way this unfolds is a key part of the story. Hutch has some hard edges, but Jude is more than good looks, and I like the way he challenges Hutch and keeps things exciting between them.Īfter that point the story takes a seriously dramatic turn toward a suspense thriller. I really enjoyed this part as we get to know both men and see how well they fit. Things happen fairly quickly as they are only together a few days, but they form an intense connection as they are locked together in the snowy wilderness. But as he gets to know Jude and the men spend time together, Hutch opens up and the two begin a hot affair. We see that Hutch is wary about Jude showing up, and clearly has some issues in his past. I love that trope and am a huge fan of Easton’s writing, and that is pretty much what we get for the first portion of this book. I was anticipating a typical snowbound story, maybe one with a bit of danger at the end. Wow! So this book was SO not what I expected, but I totally loved it. Now Hutch and Jude must fight for their lives against a danger that threatens them and the people they care about.
Hutch has tried to escape his past, but that is proving impossible. Hutch has no idea who to trust, or even if he can believe in his own feelings.
In the short time they have had together, Hutch realizes how much he has come to care for Jude and how much he doesn’t want to lose him when the weather clears and it is time for Jude to return to his real life.īut just as Hutch is beginning to let down his guard, danger comes roaring in, threatening both men. As the two spend days stuck together in the cabin, the attraction grows and they act on their feelings. He has learned to protect himself, but Jude’s good looks, combined with his wit, charm, and bit of snark eventually help Hutch to let down his walls with the man. Hutch doesn’t trust Jude immediately, but when his story checks out, Hutch begins to relax a bit. With a massive storm outside, Jude is stuck with Hutch for at least a few days until they can get back into town. Hutch’s past has made him wary, but the half-frozen man huddled on Hutch’s doorstep seems genuinely in need of help. Jude has been vacationing with his possessive boyfriend, and after a fight, Jude left and ended up trapped in the snow. Hutch is startled awake by someone trespassing outside his remote Alaskan cabin.
