Should I read in order?
This is book 1 of Wynn’s Game Series

Basic plot:
August and Jack get snowed in together before the holiday break.

Give this a try if you want:
- Contemporary romance
- novella length
- snowed in
- lots of forced proximity
- kitten loving, southern accent speaking chef hero (also, he’s a bit of a naughty talker!)
- bristly, accountant heroine
- celibate heroine (it’s been 7 months)
- hero is described as a ‘himbo’
- established consent – hero is very into the heroine asking for what she wants
- higher steam – 4 full scenes with some good girl kink in a short page count

My thoughts:
I ended up REALLY enjoying this steamy holiday novella. I wasn’t sure how well it would work for me because I’m always a grump about contemporary and the heroine was on the prickly side at first. I wasn’t sure if I would warm up to her, but I did!

But Jack stole the show here. I loved him so much. With his love for kitties, his dirty mouth, and sweet personality I was head over heels. Loved the steam in this one and all the time they spent together (forced proximity is my favorite it! I just want them together all the time.)

I’ll definitely be trying more Cat Wynn in the future!

Quotes/thoughts:

He was looking her dead in the eye now. “Ask me to kiss you.”
“But why?”
“Because I like it when a woman tells me exactly what she wants.” He raised his chin. A challenge.
“I thought you were…” She searched hard trying to come up with words, too mesmerized by his closeness. “A nice guy.”
His other hand came to the back of her head fisting her hair at the root, her head jerking ever so slightly back from his grasp.
“I am a nice guy.” His voice vibrated against her. “But not all the time.”
---
“Good girl. You took the whole thing. You’re so good at taking this cock…”
---
“Good girl…” he murmured as he leaned in to kiss her, whispering words against her mouth. “You’re taking my dick so good...No one’s ever taken it so good before...”
