Review of Exmas by Winter Renshaw
Joa (cool name!) is a 20 something climbing the corporate ladder at her company, which deals in cryptocurrency (ie Bitcoin) when she meets a fellow coworker, Reed. They have an instant lust that mixes in with the competitive vibe between them, and neither is really up for a relationship, especially Reed. So they start a friends with benes thing that works really well for the both of them until Reed snags the promotion she's been angling for right out from underneath her. She can't handle being in the same office as he, so she requests a transfer across the country from the man she still has feelings for. Now a year later, she's happily enjoying her job, her friends, her coworkers, when she's blindsided by her boss' declaration that Reed is arriving at their office soon and that he's demanded Joa be his guide while he's there. Um...nope!
When it becomes apparent that the attraction between Reed and Joa is still red hot, Joa succumbs, all while trying to keep her heart intact this time around. After all, Reed's broken her before, she knows better than to allow him close enough to do it again. But there are things in the background that Joa doesn't know, can't know until someone allows Reed to fill her in. When she finds out, will she ever forgive him? For keeping it from her? For breaking her heart, possibly AGAIN?!
I loved this hot, sweet holiday read. Reed is so much more than I had been expecting. Given Renshaw's past heroes, I was expecting another alpha type with a cold heart just waiting for his woman to bring him to his knees. What I got in Reed is more, much more. He's not really alpha for one. He's honestly a regular guy who got caught up in something he had no control over. He's more vulnerable than some of Renshaw's past heroes, and I found it really, really attractive in him. He's also genuinely a sweetheart. Yes, a sweetheart with issues, but still a genuinely good guy, and perfect for sassy, sweet herself, Joa. If you want the perfect little gem to warm you up for the upcoming holidays, I suggest you take a dive into Exmas. You will not regret it!
