Blurb
Nick and Cameron face old demons, and find new love, on a Christmas road
trip.
Former Marine Nick Sheridan is at a crossroads. With his entire life ahead of
him he struggles to find direction and his place in the world. Car sharing to
get home for his sister’s Christmas wedding seems like a good idea at first.
Spending the time with the man he kissed and left years before, maybe not so
much.
Cameron Bennett lost most of his teenage years to cancer and he now lives every
day to the fullest. He decides to drive from Seattle to Vermont for his best
friend’s wedding and capture moments of it on film. He hadn’t planned on car
sharing with the man who kissed him ten years ago, but somehow he ends up with
a brooding Nick by his side.
Along the way, the men learn that sometimes life plans mean nothing in the
grand scheme of things. Love can be found in the most unexpected of ways, and
facing your demons head on is sometimes the only way to live.
My Review
The Road to Frosty
Hollow is such a
sweet story; I couldn’t help but read it with a smile on my face from start to
finish. Sure, my heart ached at times for the past demons and present fears
both Nick and Cameron deal with, but overall I just luxuriated in the comfort
of their getting together and the adventures they had along the way.
I greatly
enjoyed how the authors took my biggest pet peeve when it comes to
romances—protagonists not communicating with each other—and turned it into not
just a plausible but the only logical story-line. In this story’s context
talking to each other, baring their souls and feelings, early on would have
been unbelievable. Nick and Cameron haven’t seen each other since they shared
one kiss ten years earlier. They had no idea about the feelings they had for
each other at the time of the kiss and now they have even less of a clue. While
privately they admit to themselves that the attraction they’d felt in the past
is possibly even stronger now, they keep that fact to themselves and well hidden.
Both of them struggle with unresolved issues, fears and insecurities, and are
disinclined to share them. Watching Nick and Cameron as they slowly open up to
each other (and themselves), spurred on by the travel plans and challenges
Nick’s sister has provided them with, was a pure delight.
The journey our
two men undertake was fun but I smiled as soon as it became clear Nick and
Cameron were about to visit a place I’ve become very fond of over the past few
months. I won’t say what place though because I enjoyed the surprise so much I
don’t want to deprive others of the same pleasure.
I thoroughly
enjoyed my road-trip with Nick and Cameron and was rooting for them to come
together every mile of the way. Sometimes all I want is a relatively angst
free, uncomplicated, yet engrossing story, which is exactly what The Road to
Frosty Hollow was—utterly delightful.
