The last person on earth I want to be stranded with is Gianni Lupo.
But thanks to the blizzard of the century, I’m trapped in a roadside motel room with that cocky bastard for two straight days.
With one small bed.
Some women might thank Mother Nature for delivering a polar vortex that maroons them with six feet of solid muscle, those deep blue eyes, that sexy grin--but not me. I’ve known Gianni Lupo all my life, and he’s never brought me anything but bad luck and trouble.
So when the tension between us explodes with enough fiery heat to melt my icy defenses, I should have known what the disastrous end result would be--
A big fat plus sign.
After the snow melts, I’m left with more than just memories of the night we spent keeping each other warm. And he might be a rising star on the culinary scene, but he’s got no idea how to handle this bun in the oven.
He says he wants to do the right thing, but I’m not about to spend the rest of my life feeling like someone settled for me.
But just when I think I’ve got Gianni Lupo all figured out, he gives me a taste of the man he could be, of the family we could become, of the way he could love me if I let him.
I’m terrified of falling for him.
But one taste might be all it takes.

My Review
I really liked this book. It was a sweet love story, the characters were lovable. It was a simple story, perfect read for a weekend or in the evenings.
The characters were so young or I felt them young (or I am old :D ), but this little "immaturity" made the them more realistic.
I loved that the story was written in dual point of views.
I loved Gianni, he was so sweet and sometimes... so childish. He was hot, funny and he could cook! I didn't know why Ellie thought he was a bad guy. I read about their past when they were only kids but then Gianni was only playing with her. I think they were friends from the age of 5, this is why they didn't see each other more than that.
But then came the blizzard... The story was predictable from this point, but it was okay. Their days in the hotel were hot but also sweet. Gianni's POV made the story more enjoyable.
There were a little complication when they arrived home, a little plot twist, which I really liked. In these chapters the characters were closer to me, I enjoyed reading how they changed, how they found each other.
I liked this book, the story was sweet and funny with perfect amount of hot scenes. A really good romcom.

Véleményem:
Azt kell mondjam tetszett ez a könyv. A történet cuki volt, a szereplők szerethetőek. Tökéletes olvasmány a hétvégére, vagy az estékre.
A szereplők olyan fiatalok voltak, vagyis én annak éreztem őket (vagy csak én vagyok öreg :D ). De ez a pici éretlenség tette a karaktereket reálissá számomra.
A kettős nézőpont nagyon jót tett a sztorinak, tetszett.
Szerettem Gianni-t, édes volt de néha olyan... gyerekes. Nagyon jóképű, vicces és még szuperül is főz! Nem is értettem Ellie miért tartja rosszfiúnak, nekem abszolút nem tűnt annak. Nyilván gyerekként sokat kötözködött vele, de akkor még gyerekek voltak, csak szórakozott vele. Én úgy gondolom, hogy már 5 éves koruk óta barátok voltak, ezért sokáig nem is tekintettek egymásra másként.
De aztán jött a hóvihar... Innentől kezdve kiszámítható a történet, de azért tetszett. A motelben játszódó jelenetek nem csak szexik de édesek is voltak. Sokat dobott a szorin Gianni nézőpontja, élvezetesebbé tette az olvasást.
Hazaérkezésük után volt egy "kis" bonyodalom, ami igazán tetszett. Ezekben a fejezetekben a szereplők közelebb kerültek hozzám, jó volt olvasni azt hogyan változtak meg, hogyan találtak egymásra.
Tetszett a könyv, egy édes és vicces sztorit olvastam, amiben tökéletes mennyiségben voltak szexi jelenetek. Egy igazán jó romantikus komédiát kaptam.
