Traipsing through the woods, searching for a century-old skull is just another day at the office for forensics professor, Dr. Chris Carter. But this call couldn\u2019t have come at a worse time. He\u2019s recently been jilted by his long-term crush. It\u2019s days away from Christmas and he\u2019s spending the holidays alone. It\u2019s bone-chillingly cold, he really needs that third cup of coffee, and there\u2019s nothing remotely interesting about this cut-and-dried case. Until his colleague\u2019s new assistant bounces onto the crime scene. Daphne McKinnon is bubbly and gorgeous, with a keen intelligence and an eye for detail that makes her an excellent anthropologist. Their eyes linger too long inside the caution-taped perimeter. Her smile stretches wide as his thumb accidentally brushes hers over a dirt-encrusted orbital bone. When Chris and Daphne agree to transport the remains across the state to his lab, their spark ignites. Something about this woman turns the snobby, uptight, millionaire academic into a protective, feral\u2026\u00a0Daddy<\/em>\u2026 who can\u2019t say no to her. Especially not when she\u2019s urging him to right the wrongs of Christmases past, heal their childhood wounds, and make their own new, movie-worthy holiday traditions along the way. But while they\u2019re making merry, every stop on their Christmas Eve road trip turns into one disaster after another, until one giant peppermint hot cocoa bomb threatens to blow their cozy new world apart, almost as soon as it began. They\u2019ve already started planning their lives together, but their relationship might not even survive the remains of Christmas.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m just going to sum this up for you real quick. Don\u2019t waste your time. It was terrible and everything about it was cringy. <\/p>\n

This book\u2026 was much different from what I was expecting. The premise of two forensic scientists working on a skull was what captivated me from the start and the reason I wanted to read this book, but there was none of it? I mean, it\u2019s only in the first chapter, then the story takes a completely different road. I expected a sort of investigation, but this skull was immediately forgotten. There are a lot of smut scenes, which I don\u2019t usually mind, but here it\u2019s all the book is about and it wasn\u2019t my cup of tea. There is no plot and they go from acquaintances to being hopelessly in love in the span of two days? What really threw me off was the resolution to their \u201cproblem\u201d at the end? Are you for real? You\u2019ve known each other for less than a week!<\/p>\n

The only reason it got two stars from me was because I did not DNF it, and boy did I want to. <\/p>\n
