Cruel Winter with You

Under the Mistletoe Collection

De: Ali Hazelwood

Narrado por: Vivienne LaRue

For two former childhood friends, a blustery winter storm stirs some frosty—and scorching—memories in a delightfully sexy short story by #1 New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood.

All newly minted pediatrician Jamie Malek wants is to borrow a roasting pan for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, that requires her to interact with Marc—her best friend’s troublemaking brother, who’s now a tech billionaire. He’s the one who got away. She’s the one who broke his heart. Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.

Ali Hazelwood’s Cruel Winter with You is part of Under the Mistletoe, a collection of sexy December romances to warm the cold winter nights. They can be read or listened to in one swoony sitting.

Perfect!

This was the perfect quick listen for the spicy Christmas romance lovers! I would recommend this 10 times over! This was also my first Ali Hazelwood book and I am now obsessed!

The cutest winter short story!

I loved the forced proximity, STEM, billionaire romance, and childhood friends romance.
I loved going back to when these first two met and their journey through school to adulthood.
Fast paced perfect for a short cozy read.

Adorable short story

It was expertly executed in the short time, loved the movement between present and past. Always love a ‘he falls first’ love story.

Cute novella!

✨Thoughts✨
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 is the classic best friend's brother scenario with both pining for each for what seems forever. Jamie and Marc practically grew up together, but a misunderstanding drifted them apart. When they find themselves snowed in, they are forced to confront those feelings. It was a sweet novella, I loved it!

I liked the story! It caught me and there was complexity to both characters even though it’s a short read

It made me cry

It was so sweet! Wish there was more, but loved it overall!! Ali never fails at writing a good story!

Cute and Light

It’s a cute little Novella set at holiday time. Not much focus on the holiday but great narration.

Ali Hazelwood writes great novellas

I haven't read Ali Hazelwood in a while and it's like coming home and cuddling up in my favorite spot every time I do.

Mark and Jamie have known each other their entire lives but Mark is hopelessly and recklessly in love with Jamie and never gives up on her. He loves her through all their moments; good, bad and ugly. And when they get snowed in together, they are forced to face their past and find their way back to a good place that allows their love for one another to take over. This story was sweet, cute and everything you want a childhood crush, second chance story to be.

My girl Vivenne killed this and I shouldn't be surprised but I cried.... again! This woman could narrate a phone book and it'd tap into my soul and make me feel all the things! Vivenne LaRue is a true talent and we are blessed she regularly graces us with her art! 10 freaking stars!

😍😍😍

so stinking sweet... loved it. Jaime walks down memory lane while Mark tries to get the girl he's loved since he was a kid.
