In this tale, we meet Blogger and nerd extraordinaire Ellie Richards’. She's ringing in the new year, and declaring, "That this year will be the year of Ellie." So far she has landed her dream job, one that will let her work from her home and even will speak at ComCon. She just needs someone to share it with, and sadly she is determined to play it safe in the romance department. She thinks setting the bar low will protect her heart. In route to a snow lodge, she hits a patch of ice and meets Officer Grayson.

The chemistry, banter, and awkwardness in Like Fresh Fallen Snow was delightful. These two bump into each other at the resort late that evening. Their attraction felt genuine, and their personalities just clicked, but there is only one problem. Matt is leaving for a new job in Seattle in a few days. The story that unfolds is perfect for those who believe in love at first sight. Wyatt managed to allow me to get to know and become invested in these characters despite the length of their story.

Like Fresh Fallen Snow was a mix of heat and tenderness. The perfect holiday romance.

LOVED this sweet and ridiculously sexy holiday read. I didn't think I could enjoy this one MORE than the one before it but I truly did. I cannot wait for more from the Grayson series.

More to come after release. :)

Ellie Richards is on her way to spend New Year's Eve with her best friend when her car slides on a patch of black ice. Firmly stuck in a snowbank and searching for her phone, she is surprised when she hears a knock on her car window.

Matt Grayson is finishing up his last day on the job when he runs across a stranded motorist. He stops and helps to dig Ellie’s car out from the side of the road. There is just something about this cute blonde in librarian glasses that has Matt feeling things he hasn't in a long time. Unfortunately Matt is moving to Seattle right after New Year's Eve, so he sends Ellie on her way.



Fate has other plans for these two when later they meet again and neither can deny the attraction and chemistry. Deciding to enjoy each other's company for the short time they can, they embark on a night of passion. When the sunrises and it's time for Matt to leave, will either be able to forget and move on, or will these two hearts find a way back to each other?

I LOVED this short and sweet little novella. The writing was great and the plot flowed nicely. Both characters were likable. Ellie was adorable in a geek girl kind of way. Matt was a sweet and sexy non manwhore. They had great chemistry and sexual tension. The side characters were interesting as well (and now I MUST go back and read book one in this series.)


"She couldn’t stop staring at him. It felt ridiculous to even think it, but he was beautiful. He was like a stunning work of art that needed to be adored and appreciated."


I do think this would have made a really great full length novel. Everything is VERY "insta" since the whole novella takes place over 4 days. I would have enjoyed more fleshing out and more buildup. That said, I still thoroughly enjoyed it. My other minor complaint is that is had NO EPILOGUE. Maybe we are going to see this couple in another book, but I REALLY wanted a look into the future for this couple since they (especially Ellie) were making major changes to their lives.

Oh well, can't have it all I guess. Still gets two thumbs up from yours truly...
