When lingerie-store owner Cora Brennan plans a getaway at a quaint mountain retreat, she never expects to reunite with the playboy she spent a memorable night with in college. Can they finally admit their true feelings for each other before love is lost to them again?
Well written, enjoyable read. The Kiss and Tell Mountain Retreat sounds like a wonderful place to get snowed in for the holidays, and makes for a wonderful backdrop for Alex and Cora to see if the sparks from the past will transform into something long lasting.
The characters had depth. I genuinely liked them and wanted to see them make a go of things. The author had a way of weaving her story so that I kept turning the page to find out what would happen next on each step of their journey. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes contemporary holiday romances. Wonderful job.
This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.
