My Review:Even though I had all my Christmas reviews already done and scheduled, on Christmas day I felt the need for a heartfelt little Christmas read and this was the novella I picked up. It was perfect!Nick is not a happy guy. He's obviously very successful and rich, but that hasn't fulfilled him. He's bitter, almost mean, and very intolerant of other people. But when he's driving in the middle of an ice storm, he can't abandon Kit, a flamboyant, happy-go-lucky young guy stranded at a rest stop on Christmas Eve and ends up giving him a ride. It's an act of kindness that literally changes Nick's life.This book was pure romantic sweetness. These two guys are such opposites and they really have a hard time connecting at first. In fact, both of them begin to regret that Nick offered the ride, but then they find their mutual love of art. Kit is an artist and Nick runs a successful gallery in NYC. I loved this aspect of the story and how it created a common ground for the two guys. It made the connection between them more believable. They truly have an emotional connection through the emotions that they both feel for art.This is a book that all about the romance and the relationship. The sex scenes are there, but completely behind the scenes so that you can enjoy the build-up of the relationship and emotions between the two guys. This is a holiday story, but I'd recommend it as a read for the next snow/ice-storm that comes through your town, too, to put you into that wonderful happy, romantic place that the cold temperatures can bring. It was good.
