I don't know about you, but when the holiday season is in full swing, I tend to be in the mood for some romantic holiday reads!  Christmas in Tahoe was everything I wanted, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I truly enjoyed this novella.Ann Smith is still mourning the loss of her fiancé, who had passed away around Christmastime a few years back.  It's been hard for her to move on, and understandably so, the holiday season tends to not be a merry one.  Ann and her friend make plans for a fun getaway in Lake Tahoe during Christmas, but at the last minute her friend can't make the trip and instead sends someone else to accompany Ann.Oh, y'all need to meet Chase Deckert!  He's one hunky snowboarder, and ultra SMART...PhD level smart!  I find that combo in a man really HOT!  Although bio-tech companies are after his research, there's a huge reason why he left Silicon Valley.  He was all set to spend Christmas alone until a friend asked for a favor.  Once Chase gets to know Ann, he realizes she's no plain Jane!  She totally surprises him that she can handle her skis, and they continue to have a fun time together.The setting in Tahoe was delightfully written.  I felt like I was transported to the top of the snowy mountain with Chase and Ann.  It's a perfect place for romance to blossom.  Ms. Barrett also injects some local San Francisco Bay Area flair into this story, which made me smile!  Chase and Ann are two broken souls.  I love it when people get a second chance at happiness!  Christmas in Tahoe is sexy, smart, and filled with the perfect amount of holiday spirit!  Roxy, the black lab is adorable, too!  *A complimentary copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.*
