My Review:Rating: A+I really loved this book. This is honestly my ideal in a holiday story...a snowstorm, a damsel in distress, a heroic taciturn sexy hero. Brenna is on the cusp of a new life and is coming to spend one final Christmas with her grandmother in the mountains of NC before she goes to live and work in Malawi as a nurse.Things go awry when the snowstorm moves in 10 hours earlier than predicted and a deer gets in her way on the road. Dillon is a doctor who lives on the same mountain as Brenna's grandmother. Since returning from Afghanistan, he is living the life of a country doctor, treating the locals on the mountain and maintaining a fairly reclusive life. He has demons that remain from his military time and the choices that he had to make as a trauma doctor in a war zone. When Dillon finds Brenna in her wrecked car, after finishing up his mountain house calls, he takes her home with him where they become stranded for three days.I loved both Dillon and Brenna's characters. Dillon is definitely scarred emotionally and Brenna recognizes that and respects that. There could have been a super-easy conclusion to this book, but I like that Alison Kent didn't go that route. She wrote a beautiful love story which became even more believable because of the way that she took this wonderful story! Just a perfect holiday, snuggle up in front of the fireplace and read, kind of story! LOVED IT!
