This book was completely not what I was expecting.
I really liked both characters, and I ship it, but from the advertising I didn’t expect an out and out romance.
Part of me struggles with a woman writing a m/m erotic romance for appropriation and representation reasons, but Sherwood so obviously adores her characters so much that I had to adore them too.

So, unexpected, but super sweet

Well, this was in the SFF section on Net Galley, but it only barely qualifies as such to my mind. It's certainly a secondary world, but it's wholly romance, with only the barest of worldbuilding features to indicate that it's not our world. A pair of men are stuck in the mountains, one with a bit of a death wish and the other completely unprepared for the weather. They end up saving each other's lives and learning how to deal with their feelings.

Our two men are both well-written and distinct, although both could do with some better communication skills. They play off each others' strengths well, and the ending was satisfying.

It moved along quickly, although it seems like most romance books don't take me terribly long to read them, when I do.

The sex isn't incredibly explicit, but it's also not all cut-to-black either. If you're uncomfortable with two dudes thinking about, and actually, fucking, this is definitely not the book for you.

You get basically what the blurb says, and if that's what you're in the mood for, then it's satisfying.

Two troubled men on one mountain in the middle of winter. Grif the grumpy and Kiernan the naive. I like the cover artwork and the story was a good one. I felt there could’ve been more of an ending. Everything flowed smoothly but a little epilogue would’ve made it better. I liked the imp. Karma needs to pay a visit to Vin.
