Fiction can be unrealistic -- but it's got to hang together.Light spoilers: These two strangers are trapped because of a closed bridge due to a winter storm -- a storm which includes snow and severe weather capable of downing huge trees.  Yet they leave their vehicles (even though there was an alternate route by road), strike out on foot, with inappropriate clothing for the weather, walking into the forest to find a route to town -- one they *know* will mean having to cross a fairly wide stream (huh?).  Worse, they are not even getting along for some time.  The woman is a single mom, so has a daughter to be concerned about.Heavy Spoilers:  When the two get lost in the forest, they find a deserted cabin -- with running water (no frozen pipes in a deserted cabin with no heat?) and fresh linens.... ?  Of course, things fall together for a hot relationship (ummm, very quickly).  Rescue comes the next morning.  Then, this single mom takes this stranger/soldier home for a hot overnight with her 5-year-old daughter in the house.  I'm no prude, but.... really?  It's Christmas Eve, and mom is so into her hot guy, she doesn't get to wrapping her daughter's Christmas presents or getting things set for Christmas morning.  I need to learn to pay attention to cover "art" as a warning for what to expect.
