Ho boy, this was a tasty little treat. But being stranded is one of my favorite tropes. You show me any novel where the main couple is forced together, especially in a cabin during a snowstorm, and I will read it. The stepsibling part could have been off-putting, but the couple did not grow up as siblings (and technically aren’t even siblings at the beginning of the story) so it wasn’t weird, creepy, or incestuous.
The cover and description make it sound like it is from the female lead. While it is written in first person, the POV switches between Bentley and Sierra. They each have a clear, distinct voice. What I truly enjoyed, however, was that their first time was through his eyes. I love being able to read sex scene from a male point of view (without the male POV, if you get my meaning, because males tend to write more pornographic than erotic sex scenes.)
After seeing the page count for this novella, I was blown away. I had read the novella so quickly it felt like it was only 40 pages, not 100! But that is how much I enjoyed it. What really won me over was how respectful Bentley was. For all the talk of him being a manwhore, he was very respectful towards her. He asked her permission both before touching her breast and then again when he wanted to take off her panties. And he wasn’t saying it to be sexy or dirty. He genuinely wanted her permission. That struck a cord with me (regardless of the fact that I enjoy reading rough sex scenes….)
