Have you ever been afraid to give your heart away?  Jane’s past makes it really hard for her to open up to any kind of love, friendship or lover.  But after a near death experience with a flirty and handsome man where she is catapulted into the role of fake girlfriend, she starts to reevaluate, even if against her will. 

I was fully charmed by this heartwarming story.  These were characters I wanted to root for, and the setting made me wish I was snuggled up by a roaring fire in one of the Tahoe ski resorts. 

But it was the flirty banter and easy chemistry between Jane and Levi that kept me hanging on for “one more chapter” until I reached the HEA. 

Was the storyline a tad syrupy sweet? Yes.  Was the plot totally predictable?  Again, yes.  Did that impede my enjoyment?  Nope.  This is the kind of book that fills your heart and reminds you of the meaning of family.  And that should always be a bit predictable and very, very sweet. 

I’m not one to read straight romance, but I’m already looking forward to the next book in this series, The Friendship Pact, which will be out this summer.
