Review: An Affair in Winter

An Affair in Winter by Jess Michaels

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I quiet enjoyed this read. This is the first book I read from this author and I'm definitely checking out her other books.

Rosalinde is a widow forced to take shelter in an inn because of a snow storm. She meets a stranger Gray and the two enjoys each other's company during dinner. When it was time to retire, she finds a tree branch had broken her window and her bedroom couldn't be used.

Rosalinde and Gray shares the room and they decide to pursue their attraction for each other. One stolen night to remember for the rest of their lives before they're on the road the next day.

However, life has other plans. When they depart, Rosalinde realizes one night with him isn't enough. To her horror she meets him again and learns he's none other than her sister's would be brother in law.

What follows is the emotional drama of uncertainty and desire, which keeps the reader entertained throughout. I liked the writing style and there's quite drama to keep us hooked. Rosalinde comes off as an innocent yet the one who follows her heart without fear. Gray is hard headed with a soft spot for the lady he met in the inn.

There are other characters who are quiet likely. We don't see much of them since the story mainly revolves around Rosalinde, Gray and the wedding. The ending can be somewhat guessed, but that doesn't discourage us from reading. I'm looking forward to read the next book in this series.
