My rating:
Blurb:Betrayed by his ex-fiancée, Dr. Wyatt Gallagher turns to the one woman he can always trust – his best friend, Mia Watson. After moving away, Wyatt has realized he wants more than friendship with the beautiful artist. With that in mind, he convinces Mia to come to Marietta for the Christmas holidays. But wooing Mia is surprisingly difficult — especially given the passionate night they’ve already shared.
Though Mia Watson has loved Wyatt Gallagher for years, he's always seen her as a friend, never a lover. Except for one unforgettable interlude when comfort turned to passion. Then Wyatt moved back to Montana, leaving Mia with an unexpected consequence of their night together--and soon, heartbreak to follow.
Faced with the fulfillment of her dreams, Mia knows she must reveal the consequences of their night together to Wyatt. But having withheld the truth for so long, will her confession destroy his trust in her, ending their friendship and any hope of a future together?

3 stars — I don’t know…this one started off not bad, but something was just missing from the writing to bring it from words on a page to magic. I’m not a writer, so I don’t even know what’s missing…all I know is that I was sucked in, I wasn’t that captivated, it felt like perfunctory reading instead of emotions and connections and all that shiznit.
It didn’t help that I grew annoyed with Mia’s constant worry over her secret, but her refusal to do anything about it or reach out to anyone. And I was not impressed with Wyatt really at all — he kind of came across as a douchecanoe. His reactions were volatile, he wasn’t super supportive, he wasn’t super kind…he was average stereotypical male, and that’s not my jam.
As for the chemistry between them? Eh. There were all these romantic dates and moments that could have been more, but there was something missing preventing me from swooning or getting wrapped up in them together.
*shrugs* I’m starting to wonder if it’s me or the books. I’ll keep trying!
Great review, but I’ll definitely be skipping this one!
