A short, cute, grumpy/sunshine, snowed in romance, featuring an adorable dog, solstice celebrations, and lots of snow!
From the blurb:
Gruff and grumpy meets sunshine and smiles. Stranded in a lonely farmhouse, sparks flare then soften as winter’s longest night draws them closer.
Trapped by the snow, can sunshine and a solstice sunrise melt the grump’s icy heart?
Alone in his isolated farmhouse, ex‑soldier Jake Whitby lives by three simple rules: no attachments, no complications, no risks. But when a blizzard strands Ru Parker on his doorstep, the grumpy recluse finds himself stuck with a sunshine storm in human form.
Jake resists the intrusion, but Ru’s everything Jake isn’t: warm, joyful, and armed with a smile that could melt more than ice.
Snowbound together, Jake’s distance thaws into decorating the farmhouse with winter greenery, snowball fights, and rescuing the wonky Christmas tree he’d banished to the attic. And when Jake quietly shares the ancient solstice sunrise he’s always honoured alone, Ru is there beside him, bringing new light to centuries-old tradition.
As charged glances and accidental touches turn into desire neither can resist, Jake realises his unexpected guest isn’t so unwelcome after all.
When the storm passes, Jake faces a stark choice: retreat to his lonely existence, or embrace the man who’s brought warmth, sunshine, and hope back into his life.
In the season of miracles, where Christmas cheer meets solstice light, will their love be strong enough to last beyond the thaw?

Angel's review:
When Ru gets stranded in an unfamiliar area during a snow storm after his car breaks down he isn't sure what to do. Or how he's going to get himself out of the situation he finds himself in... That's where Jake comes in! Ex special forces, and expert survival guide, specializing in teaching people how to survive in extreme situations, takes Ru in, although he's not happy about it. Both men have been hurt in the past and are trying to recover from old wounds, but together they realize that they have to take chances at being happy even when its daunting.
I liked reading about these two men, they definitely don't have an easy journey. Jake is a bit brash at first but slowly he warms up to Ru and lets his guard down which is when we really started to get to know him and his character. I thought the slow burn between these two was done well, I absolutely adored the scene where they built a snowman together, simply adorable! I loved how they taught each other things that neither knew about prior to meeting one another.
Overall I enjoyed reading this book!
