I'm always a sucker for "Lovers Reunited" stories, but this one failed to make any real good impact on me.Alaska State Trooper Skip and Ex-Con Wren are heading back to their small town. Skip's sister, Wren's best friend, is getting married. They haven't seen each other in 5 years since Skip arrested Wren and sent her to jail. When the plane crashes, they have to rely on each other to make it through the night.This short story did have its moments of humor and clarity. But it was bogged down with things where I had to say "No Way!"First, Wren and the ANNOYING habit of speaking her thoughts aloud without realizing it. This is one of the MOST annoying thing an author can do to his/her characters. I do not find it charming or cute. It is just irritating.Second, Skip breaks his arm in the crash yet is okay for all the physical labor they engage in to ready for the night as well as some hot-n-heavy sex. I've broken my arm, the same place described as Skip's, and Tylenol isn't going to make it okay enough to move it around as much as he did. NOT HAPPENING.For a short read, it was okay. Just could have been MUCH better.Would I buy this? I got it for free during a promotional period. It is NOT worth $2.99. I would have been willing to pay $0.99Would I recommend this to others? Uh, it's okay.Would I read it again? No
