Boy, I love a snowed-in story. The crackle of electricity between Honey and Jericho has been an underlying thing in other books in this series, so I love it even more that they are the snowed-in couple. This story can also be considered either a friends-to-lovers or enemies-to-lovers book, too. Oh! Plus it’s a brother’s best friend and slight age gap. This story has all the best tropes!

Honey has always had a crush on Jericho. Or course (thankfully), she wasn’t on his radar until she was a bit older. Because of the nature of Jericho’s relationship to Honey’s family, he has been trying to stay out of Honey’s way for the last few years. The Cooper family took Jericho in as a teenager when his mother died and he looks at her brothers as his own brothers. The Coopers lost their own mother shortly after and this ragtag group of mourning young people put their heads down and worked hard to make a success of their family business. Honey has always tried to reign in her emotions because she felt they made her father’s grieving harder. Being surrounded by stoic males, she aimed to keep them all comfortable without really realizing what that was doing to her own well-being. As much as it annoyed me that her brothers and dad couldn’t see the real Honey, I also know that she didn’t want them to see her because it felt to her as if she would be a burden if they know how deeply she felt everything.

There are a few events that lead Jericho and Honey to be at the same place, at the same time, trapped in a snow storm. The author brings us through that quickly but with all of the pertinent information needed to fall head over heels for this couple.

That electricity that was felt between these two in the other books is now given freedom and turns into a crackling fire. Honey and Jericho open up to one another in the quiet, isolated cabin in the woods. As Honey pondered at one point, it was “like a snow globe, its own separate world with a beautiful glass dome that kept the bad parts away.” That sense of safety and illusion of being in a different realm helped them to let down their guard and really talk about what they wanted and how the past had ultimately brought them to this moment together.

I was glad to see Honey start to display and verbalize her true emotions. Not only with Jericho, but also with her family. The growth she went through in this story was very satisfying to see.
