Amazon Link: amazon

Noelle Winters is a curvy, spunky city girl on a mission: make it home to quirky little Alpine Cove in time for her family's annual holiday extravaganza. The last thing she needs is car trouble, much less a blizzard stranding her on a secluded road on Alpha Mountain. But after Noelle accidentally crashes into a grumpy recluse's front yard, an unexpected Christmas adventure is just beginning...

Gruff, gorgeous Sawyer Hawkins would rather be left alone, especially during the holidays. But when a bright-eyed, plus-sized beauty in a red coat literally spin-out and into his life, he can't help but come to her rescue. What he doesn't expect is for her to light up his world like a Christmas tree.

Sawyer has his reasons for being a Grinch, but bubbly optimist Noelle sees the warm heart behind his frosty exterior. As the unlikely pair ride out the storm, sparks fly hotter than chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Sawyer's sanctuary becomes a whimsical winter wonderland as Noelle decks the halls--and thaws the walls around his heart.

Noelle Winters is rushing to get home for her family Christmas Eve celebration, unfortunately a blizzard and white out vision created the perfect moment when she crashed into a fence.

Noelle saw lights on not far from where she crashed and a huge man walking towards her. The man is Sawyer Hawkins who yells at her to get inside before she freezes to death and when she enters his cabin it is empty of any holiday cheer. Noelle cannot understand anyone not loving Christmas and she is determined to bring Christmas cheer regardless of what her grumpy Grinch host wants.

There is a definite connection between Noelle and Sawyer but that has a lot to do with her happy and energetic personality. Sawyer has a hard time being grumpy when Noelle is like a Christmas Angel who crashed into his life. Noelle is a hefty woman, but Sawyer can’t get her out of his mind.

Sawyer cultivates exotic orchids, and Noelle is right there to help in any way she can. As they work together to save the orchids during this major storm they grow closer, but Sawyer has something from his past that has caused him to shut himself away from people and life in general, something Noelle refuses to allow him to do.

This book is part of a multi-author series, Alpha Mountain and is a fast, short and joyful read. Noelle was such a wonderful character that I felt the joy of Christmas with every page. Romance, sex, secrets and some Christmas magic make this the perfect book for the holiday season
