An Officer and a Rebel is a novella by Cindi Madsen and part of her Accidentally in Love series. I grabbed this on Nook when it was a freebie. The story takes place at Christmas and can be read as a standalone.

While this is a novella and can be read quickly, the romance worked. Kelsey Cooper is traveling home when her car crashes. Nate Welsh comes to her rescue. He is local law enforcement and the older brother of her high school boyfriend. A snow storm, confessions and long ago attraction are the tropes present, and they all worked nicely. While I would have preferred a full-length novel, the author did an excellent job of delivering all the feels and believability to make this a warm, fuzzy read for any time of the year.

An Officer and a Rebel was a cute, quick, opposites attract, holiday romance! It also uses my favorite trope: stranded together! Kelsey is on her way to visit her mother for Christmas when she wrecks her car during a snow storm. Of course, she's in the town where she grew up, and her high school sweetheart's older brother is the cop to come rescue her. Nate invites Kelsey to stay at his house and wait for the storm to pass. Little does Kelsey know, but Nate use to have a crush on her and seeing her again has stirred up old feelings.

I thought this one was really cute, but I did want more out of it. I loved Kelsey trying to bring some holiday cheer to Nate's sad, lonely existence. But they decided that they were in a relationship (after hooking up) and then broke up a few hours later, which was super fast even given the minuscule page count. I don't think that the extra drama from that was really necessary, since they had enough things to worry about to make their relationship work. I still enjoyed it though and now I want some freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.
