Aspiring romance authors Jessica and Nick met at a writing workshop and started a real-life romance, until Nick unexpectedly broke up with Jessica at Christmastime five years ago, just as they both got book deals—his much bigger than hers. The events broke Jess’s heart and ruined her favorite holiday. Even worse, this year, Jess is being forced, for the good of her career, to present an award to Nick at their publisher’s holiday ball. When they arrive at the inn where the ball is taking place, there’s no reservation on file for Jess, all the rooms are booked, and a snowstorm makes travel impossible. Nick, who has never gotten over Jess (and hasn’t told her why he really broke up with her), offers to share his room. They’re stuck together in a room with only one bed, and when their editors learn that they’re both writing second-chance holiday romances, they suggest the two should team up on a book. Nick and Jess find they still work well together in bed and on the page and might have a real-life reunion, if they can get over their past.
VERDICT Ballard (Right on Cue) offers a sexy second-chance romance, perfect for the Christmas season.
