 A direct follow-up from Peppermint Kisses, it is recommended that you read that one first before starting this one as you get the complete story. I didn’t have the luxury of doing that so I wasn’t aware of the back story for Evie. I still thoroughly enjoyed this book without it so it’s not vital, just recommended.

Eric and Evie have an instant connection following a New Year’s Eve kiss but then Evie backs off, wary of falling for someone again so quickly. Also, Eric’s job takes him away a lot and this was the same as her ex-husband so she didn’t want to go through that again. However, after a steamy texting session and a tied to the table scenario, Evie is left in no doubt of Eric’s feelings for her and agrees to go camping with him. And then the spice really hits.

Eric is the complete package. He’s such a sweet guy, a real teddy bear/golden retriever male but underneath and in the bedroom, he is a dominant Doberman, an alpha male through and through. Evie is open and receptive and enjoys her time with Eric and eventually lets him into her heart as well as her bedroom.

Their relationship was built on trust and openness and it was good to see them grow and develop as the story went on, despite the fact it was a short novella. There was still enough character arc for both of them.
