Tropes: snowed in, only one bed, mutual pining (sort of)

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Barista Rory has had a crush on local plumber, Owen, for months. When he arrives home from a shift to find his kitchen flooded, the only person who can help him is the very man who flusters and turns him into a bumbling fool.

When Owen arrives at Rory's apartment to fix his pipes, the last thing he expects is to get snowed in on Christmas Eve with the adorably shy barista—but after months of these two tiptoeing around each other, fate has other plans. 

Gah this was too cute! I loved how Rory turned into an absolute mess every time he was around Owen, because honestly same 🤣 Their story was equal amounts sweet and steamy and I loved every minute of it!

Tropes: snowed in, brother’s best friend, jock x nerd, insta-love (ish)

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

As if being forced to ride home with his brother’s annoying best friend, Hunter, for winter break wasn’t bad enough, a blizzard has them taking shelter at Hunter’s family cabin in the middle of nowhere. 

As Simon spends more time with Hunter, he realizes that maybe Hunter isn’t so bad, and when learns how Hunter really feels about him, sparks fly. 

This was steamy and to the point. Would have liked a bit more from Simon, as Hunter seemed way more into him than he was into Hunter, and he did a completely 180 in no time, but 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tropes: snowed in, only one bed, virgin, opposites attract 

Rating: ⭐️⭐️

Caught in a snow storm on the way to their friend’s wedding, Wren and Christian are forced to ride out the dorm in a run down motel room with only one bed. 

Not Christian’s biggest fan, Wren isn’t happy about the predicament they’re in, but one thing leads to another. 

Honestly, this was just whatever.
