He broke her heart. She’s the one who got away. When they get snowed in together over the holidays, will their love get a second chance?

It’s Christmas, a time for family.

Which is why I’m traveling to visit my brother, who I haven’t seen in years.

Partly because of our own sibling drama. But another huge part is him. His best friend, Joseph.

My ex.

When a terrible snowstorm leaves us stuck together in a cabin—

Joseph has the audacity to still be sexy, sweet, and more tempting than a pile of presents sitting under the tree.

But as much as I want to unwrap him, how can I trust my heart to the man who left it shattered?

This is a short, interracial holiday romance. No cliffhangers. One-click this steamy, older woman/younger man romance featuring a hottie hero, a curvy heroine, and a snowed-in cabin with only one bed.

I tell stories of beautifully imperfect women discovering they are worthy, desirable, and deserving of love just as they are. I do that in many different genres, but you’ll always get those things in a Savannah J. Frierson book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love Takes Flight!

I loved the books play on flight metaphors. Mary has been lead to believe she isn't loveable. But Joseph never stopped caring. Can two people bought together finally her it together? Nothing like a second chance at deserved happiness. This book was tender & sweet. I need a pilot in my life to take me " flying " to the heights of passion too.

I loved this story. It was so sweet and adorable. Mary and Joseph, nice play on the names especially for a holiday romance, finally worked out 5 years of miscommunication. It's definitely a feel good story

4.0 out of 5 stars Short, sweet and Christmasy
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2019
I initially picked this up because of the gorgeous cover, and I was well rewarded. This is a sweet confection of a holiday novella, with a plethora of my favorite tropes – second chance, snowed in, and only one bed.

“It’s Christmas and Mary and Joseph have no room at an inn!”

Joseph and Mary met at the wedding of her younger stepbrother, Deon. After a one-night-stand, he’s baffled when she leaves the next morning without a word to him. Five years later, they end up seated next to each other on a flight to Deon’s home for Christmas – and when a storm grounds them in Charlotte, they’re forced to share a cabin with only one bed…

“The last time we shared a bed, it didn’t go well—”
“I thought it went very well,” he said, his voice soft, but it might as well have been a bellow the way his words affected her. “It was the morning after that wasn’t so great.”

For a novella, Mary and Joseph both have a lot of emotional depth. Mary’s a curvy Black pharmacologist, nerdy, smart and with a sharp sense of humor. Joseph is an adorable cinnamon roll pilot who’s carried a torch for Mary ever since their night together, and he’s not going to let the holiday end without getting an answer as to why she ghosted him. I loved how Mary both demanded an explanation for the event while also acknowledging that she was ashamed of her reaction – running away and ghosting Joseph.

Since this is a Christmas novella, there’s also the requisite holiday jokes – the Mary and Joseph ones were especially funny to me – as well as a dysfunctional family confrontation. But all ends well, of course, and we’re left with a happy family Christmas and a sweet epilogue.

Overall, this book is short, sweet and perfectly Christmasy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Using time wisely - uncovering 5 years of issues.
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2019
This was a quick, second-chance romance that can be read during a coffee break. The well defined and strong characters, mixed with the emotional and passionate compenents, pull the reader in and keep then turning the page to see what happens next.

Joseph and Mary had a liason 5 years prior, at Deon's wedding. (Deon is Joseph's BF and Mary's kind-of stepbrother.) It ended abruptly when Mary overheard what she thought was Joseph making fun of her. When he ends up sitting next to her on the plane 5 years later, she is less than happy! When they hit turbulance and she clings yo him for support, she is still not happy, but he is a little releaved. He doesn't know what he did 5 years before.

When a grounding forces them into a cabin for a couple days, Mary learns she misunderstood what she heard, and Joseph is even more angry at Deon for his comments 5 years ago than he was origionally! It cost them so much time. Yet, as they approach Deon's home, Mary reverts into her shell and puts distance between them.

Can Mary overcome her own self doubt and accept Joseph's feelings for her? Can he make her see she is the only one for him?

4.0 out of 5 stars sweet holiday romance
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2020
Mary is heading to see her brother and his family for Christmas. Next to her on the plane is the man who was her brother's best man. She and Joseph hooked up the night of the wedding, and she's tried her best to keep away from him since then. But now, with the weather cancelling flights, they're stuck in Charlotte together. And he's glad to be with her, even if the feeling isn't mutual. Can they get past the misunderstanding from 5 years ago? This is a really nice, mostly drama-free holiday story, with a happy ending. It was nice book to read, my first from this author.
