Wild Holiday Nights: An Anthology by Meg Maguire, Debbi Rawlins, Samantha Hunter, Samantha Hunter
4.0

*Disclaimer* I only read Playing Games by Meg Maguire from this collection of Holiday novellas.

Carrie is determined to make it home in time to greet her brother at the train station when he arrives home from his latest tour of duty on Christmas day, but finds out her flight is grounded because of the inclement weather. Making matters more awkward, she finds out her high school nemesis was supposed to be on the same flight, and she's now sharing a rental car with him.
Daniel, no longer the cigarette smoking burnout who she secretly had a crush on, despite him being her high school boyfriend's best friend, is even more delicious but just as grumpy. But, a scary car ride and a stay in the honeymoon suite leads to some major truth telling and perhaps a Christmas miracle.

Super sexy, and a fun short read for the holidays. I love the "just one bed" trope and this one was done very well. I also love a good unrequired romance and Daniel's pining for Carrie is so yummy.

CW: parental neglect, drinking
