Chloe Burke gives up the amenities of her Boston condo during the Holidays to return to her small Maine hometown to house-sit for her vacationing parents.  Chloe's forgotten the first rule of living in an old house - never assume that everything is in good working order.  She promptly blows a fuse and needs to call an electrician, who just happens to have a very sexy voice.  When he arrives, Chloe is pleasantly surprised to find that Scott Quinn has the good looks to complement that smokin' hot voice.  When these two former High School classmates reunite, there's plenty of pre-Christmas sizzle.I really liked this little romance.  It's short - novella length - but the author packs a whole lot into it.  The characters are well developed and there's good chemistry between the former High School geek and the pretty, popular girl.  The dialog is snappy and has a natural, non-scripted feel to it.  It's a sweet story with plenty of steam, and that's a nice combination!This is my second short story by Shannon Stacey and it has piqued my interest enough for me to order two more of her full length romance stories.  I like the author's writing style; she knows how to move the story along while keeping the romance front and center.Little (if any) strong language and the sex scenes are fairly explicit - I'd say it's in the PG+ range.PS:  I just loved Kojak, Scott's German Shepherd!  He reminded me of my own two GSDs.
