About this listen
A standalone Heartbreaker Bay novel
Meet cute...
Run for the hills—temporarily. That’s Colbie Albright’s plan when she flees New York for San Francisco. Wrangling her crazy family by day and writing a bestselling YA fantasy series by night has taken its toll. In short, Colbie’s so over it that she’s under it. She’s also under the waters of a historic San Francisco fountain within an hour of arrival. Fortunately, the guy who fishes Colbie out has her looking forward to Christmas among strangers. But she’s pretty sure Spencer Baldwin won’t be a stranger for long.
Make merry...
Spence’s commitment to hiding from the Ghosts of Relationships Past means he doesn’t have to worry about the powerful—okay, crazy hot—chemistry he’s got with Colbie. Just because she can laugh at anything, especially herself... just because she’s gorgeous and a great listener…just because she “gets” Spence immediately doesn’t mean he won’t be able to let Colbie go. Does it?
…and hope for a miracle.
Now the clock’s ticking for Colbie and Spence: Two weeks to cut loose. Two weeks to fall hard. Two weeks to figure out how to make this Christmas last a lifetime.

When Colbie announces she wants to tell Spence the full truth about her life, he first assumes she is some sort of reporter, but after finding she is not, for some weird reason panics and runs out on her, joins a card game with friends and gets drunk. Even told from Spence’s POV his actions were weird and made him seem like an immature idiot. It would definitely ring all sorts of warning bells, particularly as Spence was already announced that based on one failed relationship, he was somehow unable to have any successful long term relationship. Colbie however, quickly forgives all this strange behaviour, as she also forgives him for arranging a super awkward “girls night out” as though she was some social misfit who needs help to make friends.
The nerdy/antisocial Spence of previous books has morphed into a clone of previous alpha males in this series, and an opportunity was missed to feature a character that really was nerdy and antisocial. Unfortunately this all meant the second half of this book was a disappointment, particularly the very fast and very neat conclusion to Colbie’s problems back home. I have to finish by asking if I am the only one who finds it really sleazy when other people discuss a couple having sex, or even being aware of it? It’s ok for the reader to be in the bedroom, but I do think everyone else should be kept out!
