Unbelievably written. It left me with the warm and fuzzies, I really enjoyed this wintery read. I don't mean to be repetitive or anything, but fantastic book written by a fantastic author.

For twenty-one-year-old Sydney, being in love with Kyler isn't anything new. They'd been best friends ever since he pushed her down on the playground and she made him eat a mud pie. Somewhere over the years, she fell for him and fell hard. The big problem with that? Kyler puts the 'man' in man-whore. He's never stayed with a girl longer than a few nights, and with it being their last year in college, Syd doesn't want to risk their friendship by declaring her love. 

Kyler has always put Syd on a pedestal that was too high for him to reach. To him, she's perfect and she's everything. But the feelings he has for her, he's always hidden away or focused on any other female. After all, Kyler will always be the poor boy from the wrong side of tracks, and Syd will always be the one girl he can never have. 

But when they're stranded together at a posh ski resort due to a massive Nor'easter, there's nothing stopping their red-hot feelings for each other from coming to the surface. Can their friendship survive the attraction? Better yet, can they survive at all? Because as the snow falls, someone is stalking them, and this ski trip may be a life-changer in more ways than one.

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

So Sydney or AKA 'Syd' is a 21 year old woman who's been in love with her best friend Kyler for her whole life. Kyler is a 21 year old man-whore who sleeps around to try and forget about his love for his best friend. As you can see, this is a problem and the whole book is filled with sexual tension. Its so strong I could literally feel it coming off the pages.

Both Kyler and Sydney and their friends are supposed to go to Kyler's mothers ski house for Christmas break. You know, skiing, snowboarding, coco, the whole nine yards. But, there was a giant snow storm that basically snowed Kyler and Sydney in alone. Their friends had to turn back because it was snowing to much.

There's the whole 'I don't want to ruin our friendship' faze then there's the 'I don't even give a shit anymore, my heart hurts to much, I need to tell him' faze. So one night while there sleeping together to keep warm Syd wakes up to Kyler basically feeling her up, with his hand down her pants. And, when he wakes up it makes things hella awkward. I was just like, GET YOUR DAMN FEELINGS OUT IN THE OPEN ALREADY! I was so frustrated that they just wouldn't talk to each other.

later on in the book they finally talk to each other and Syd basically tells him she just wants to fuck him like a one night stand. She thinks that he wouldn't want to do the whole relationship thing. He was pissed, understandably. While he was felling her up, the glass broke from a bullet (I'll get to that later) and it ruined the moment, thank god.

So finally, when Sydney is just so pissed, so stressed she finally slips out that she is basically in love with him, but she didn't mean to say that to him. Guess where this leads? A make out session. To the whole moaning and shit. You know the 'hot and steamy' shit. And basically that's what they do the whole next day. It...was... hot.

Then we have the whole stalker situation. I knew immediately from the beginning who was doing it. It was that ski instructor from the lodge who tried to get into Syd's pants, but Kyler didn't let him. So basically it started off with someone trying to run Syd over with a snowmobile, to a tree falling on the power lines. Then they cut the power lines to the house, so they were freezing there asses off. Then he shot a bullet through the sun room while they were getting ready to 'fuck'. Who the fuck is that crazy..

So, Kyler goes up to the ski lodge to find out when the roads will be clear and what not, leaving Syd alone. Syd, being the impatient person she is decides to head up to the lodge an hour after Kyler left. She finds out that he went back with the girl Sasha to her place. She was heart broken. So she called her parents to come and pick her up. She headed back to the house to pack, to find the garage open more then she left it. At this point I was basically yelling at my book telling her to just go back to the lodge, she didn't. She goes into the garage and guess who's there. The ski instructor trying to slash the tires on the hummer. This is when things escalated quickly. He drags her into the house by her hair trying to 'scare' her, but he basically beats her, because Kyler apparently slept with his girlfriend Sasha a year ago and then lied about it to Syd. Not, Cool. and when Kyler finally makes it back to the house the dumb ass gets his ass beat, and Syd wont talk to him.

As I said before, this book ends with the warm and fuzzies, and if you've read the book you know what I'm talking about. Through and through I thought this book was really good, and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a good wintery read.
