No man likes having his bedroom skills described as forgettable, but that’s just what Lila Payne does when she runs into Spencer Thomas again. When she discovers that he’d lied about his name during their brief three-day romp a few months before, she’s so angry that she pretends she doesn’t remember him.
Spence regrets his deception, but not as much as he regrets that their time together didn’t last longer. When she shows up in his town, looking to revitalize her uncle’s mountain resort, Spence is determined to help. Maybe rescuing Lila from a hopeless renovation project will get him in her good gracesβand back in her bed.
Lila has no interest in being rescued, and Spence is insulted by her stubborn rebuffs and her “faulty” memory. But when rehab work turns into an after-hours meeting, the two of them are in for a night that just might prove unforgettableβ¦

Reviewer’s Thoughts:
I will say as I always say β when you have a great idea, a novella or short story is just not the way to go with it. Β It makes stories feel rushed, the characters donβt have much time to develop, and the ending usually ends up feeling like the last 30 minutes of a good romance movie put on fast forward and written in only a few paragraphs (case in point, this one). Β That being said, for the small amount of time that I got to visit the romance between Spencer and Lila, I enjoyed this holiday story. Β It was fun, sexy and romantic. Β The characters, while not given the amount of time to develop they could have had, showed plenty of chemistry. Β The secondary characters were my favorite, though, hilariously funny and always stealing the show!
Overall, the story is a light and fun holiday book that should please anyone looking for a quick and festive read.
