2.5 Stars

Opinion Breakdown
The Good: The premise.

The Not-So-Good: The conflict. Too fluffy and easy for me.

The Bad: The lack of connections. My connections to the characters. The connection between them. And my overall connections to the book. Didn't feel any of it.

Overall: I'm honestly surprised I finished this one tbh. It was so fluffy and actually pretty boring. The characters were meh, their tension was meh, the sexy times were meh, and the conflict was meh. Overall, I'm rating this below "just okay" because I really probably should've just called it quits and found a better book for me. This might be great for those of you that like the H falls for the h hard and expresses it easily, full of fluff, no angst type reads!

Brief Summary of the Storyline: This is Ellie and Zach's story. Ellie gets a temp job as a new private practice doctor's assistant that she desperately need to save up money to go to Le Cordon Bleu. Zach is having some issues because he is enjoying this new time away from medicine to focus on writing the mystery novel he's been writing for a while but never had the time to commit to, so he keeps putting off Ellie and her attempts at helping him set up his practice to start seeing patients. They end up snowed in together and that is when their relationship changes and they start to develop feelings for one another. There are some sweet moments and some sexy times...and they get a HFN ending.

Point Of View (POV): This alternated between Ellie and Zach's POV.

Overall Pace of Story: Good, I never skimmed and I thought it flowed well.

Instalove: Kind of because it didn't feel all that developed.

H (Hero) rating: 2.5 stars. Zach. He was so...bland.

h (heroine) rating: 2.5 stars. Ellie. She was okay, I guess but her constant references to her previous relationship got really old.

Sadness level: Low, no tissues needed

Push/Pull: Yes (view spoiler)[ the h pushes away and I'd say the H is the main pursuer of the relationship (hide spoiler)]

Heat level: Good. They have some good tension, chemistry, and scenes -- but not so much it takes away from the story.

Descriptive sex: Yes

OW (Other Woman)/OM (Other Man) drama: Not really (view spoiler)[ the h carries a good bit of baggage from her ex and this causes some issues for the couple, but not the ex specifically (hide spoiler)]

Sex scene with OW or OM: No

Cheating: No

Separation: Yes (view spoiler)[They are separated shortly (week/s?), but there was no mention or suggestion of other partners during this time. (hide spoiler)]

Possible Triggers: Yes, but mild (view spoiler)[Verbal/emotionally abusive ex (h off page) and h was cheated on by ex (off page) (hide spoiler)]

Closure: This ends in an okay place but I would call it a HFN ending (view spoiler)[they're living together and get engaged (hide spoiler)]

Safety: This one should be Safe for most safety gang readers
