Let me start by saying that Heidi is one of my favorite authors, though I have not loved every one of her books (just most of them).  Well, I loved this book.  She starts by showing her sense of humor, by telling the children's story of Goldilocks and the three bears only with an almost sexless twink from Minneapolis and three "bears" who are lumberjacks living in a cabin in the woods.  She doubles up on this when the twink, Frankie, coming up to the cabin after his car goes into a ditch during a huge snow storm and nobody is home but it is clear someone lives there and then wakes up from a nap in the cabin to find three "bears"  who turn out to be three gay bears looking him over. The first thing he thinks of is the three bears fairy tale.  Two of the guys, Arthur who owns the cabin and his friend Paul are quite friendly and also quite into spanking and loud sex.  The biggest one, Marcus is at first very grumpy because Frankie reminds him too much of his ex-lover who constantly cheated on him and then left him, when he was living in Minneapolis and practicing law there and hating it.  He has fled back to his little town of Logan in the north of Minnesota and moved in with his two friends to escape his existence in the City which turned out so badly.  Since the four of them are trapped in the cabin for days on end, but fortunately have prepared for such an eventuality, Frankie gets more comfortable with Arthur and Paul, but ends up sleeping with Marcus since he knows that if he shares the loft with the other two, he would likely get involved with some BDSM activity that he does not want.  Marcus slowly overcomes his negative feelings toward Frankie as he realizes that Frankie, despite looking like his ex, is quite the opposite personality of his ex.  He is in fact a kind, caring and lovable person and the two of them in fact fall deeply in love.  Unfortunately, after the storm they face the fact that Frankie is not a country mouse and Marcus cannot bare the thought of living in the City again, which creates a huge dilemma.  Heidi has written a wonderful love story with a lot of heart warming elements that one would expect in a Christmas story and with some very hot sex that might not be expected in such a story.  This short book is Heidi at her best.  Missing out on this book would be a great loss for you.  On a personal note, several years ago before I had my Kindle, Heidi's books, Special Delivery and its sequel, Double Blind, were among the first ones I read in the M/M erotic romance genre and were so good that I now read almost no books in any other genre except an occasional Thriller/ Mystery.  Those two books, with some changes written into them, are being re released in February and March, 2014, and I look forward to reading them again and so should you.
