Never fall for your best friend.

That’s the rule. The code.

Claire Harlow always follows rules—except this one.

However, when an attack leaves both of their worlds shaken, she decides to walk away from what could have been and hide within her own shadows.

Kingston Montgomery is the man who saves the day.

At least that’s what he’s always told himself—until one day he was too late.

Now he’s trying to find his purpose while also ignoring the heat between him and Claire.

When a chance blizzard changes their plans, one night turns to two…and then there’s no going back.

Only the two must overcome what they thought their relationship should be and realize what it could become. Because if they don’t figure it out quickly, the spark that ignites them could burn them both.

Each book can be read as a complete standalone. An HEA is guaranteed!** Kingston Montgomery is Ethan, Holland, and Lincoln’s son from Sated in Ink.

MY REVIEW

Claire's not been the same since the attack that turned everything upside down. She's not only been distancing herself physically, but emotionally and mentally. All she does is work so she doesn't have to think about what happened. She's been avoiding Kingston, too, and he thinks it's because he didn't protect her the way he thinks he should have. But then something happens that changes their friendship. Being snowed in together means their friendship will never be the same, and they'll have to decide what to do about it.

Kingston is the guy, the friend, the family, that gives and gives and gives of himself. He has a protector and savior complex and can't stand it when people avoid him, and when he thinks he didn't do what he was supposed to. He's been so worried about his friend Claire, worrying about her mental and physical wellbeing, but he just can't make himself confront her or force an intervention because of the guilt he carries. But mother nature has plans for him and Claire, and now they're here - snowed in together with all these feelings...

Awww I love these two friends to lovers. Claire is so relatable, has so much bottled up inside, and it takes meddling mother nature to get her to open up to Kingston. And then there's Kingston. He's got such a big, generous heart, and I admit to being worried about him more than once that he'd give too much of himself one too many times. Thank God he had a large, loving family for support, and his friends, all of whom could not do without him. The steam is spicy, the love is fierce, and their ending with Claire's journal entry made me tear up in a good way. And the very ending made me really impatient for Crew's story next.
