First, I have to say this is the only novel I have ever read where the main characters meet at a platelet donation center!Caitlin has been donating blood for nine years. She is an account manager for a financial firm, and it's the week before Christmas. She barely has time to sleep or eat. While enjoying the quiet and snacks, a new donor enters the room. There is a momentary glance, and her first thought.....cute. After getting settled she see's he is reading a library book. "Wow, a cute platelet donating , library-card-carrying guy." There are glances back and forth, and casual flirting, and even a little silent competition ! She feels a tiny bit guilty, she has a boyfriend . Granted they haven't seen each other except at work for quite a while. That would be solved at the office holiday party .Well, life turned in another direction at the office party for Caitlin. Kevin the "supposed" boyfriend dumped her. "Dumped beside a dying ficus with a cup of virgin egg nog in her hand". She has on a very seductive dress and her sky high heels, life is not fair. She realizes as she is walking to the train to go home in the frigid air, all she feels is annoyance and relief.Mark Holly is the "cute guy". He works for a youth center and coaches basketball. He is on a train heading home after a winning game with his team. It's late, freezing, and right before his eye's is the beautiful lady from the blood donation center, dressed in an amazing dress and killer heels.The flirting between Mark and Caitlin is delightful. Even more enjoyable is the serious heat they generate. This novella was very entertaining, and I would love to see what happens to Mark and Caitlin after their train ride. I highly recommend it.I received this book for an honest review, no compensation was offered or accepted.
