A swoony, holiday romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!

He’s my brother’s best friend. He’s also my pretend boyfriend for the weekend. Small problem: there’s only one bed.

The whole mess starts when I get dumped at the airport. Dylan is my brother’s best friend, and the last guy I want to run into when my pride’s been kicked. But I need a plan and fast.

One bad decision leads to the next and we’re trapped in a hotel for a romantic holiday weekend when we get snowed in. For days.

It’s cold. Dylan is H-O-T. It’s a game of willpower and I’m losing.

Meant To Be is a swoony forbidden holiday romance with a sassy, stubborn heroine, a grumpy hero and that cursed only bed. It’s perfect for readers who love small town romance, hotshot firefighters, brother’s best friend, slow burn, emotional romance with a dash of angst, plenty of swoon, and a protective hero who’s hiding a heart of gold.

*A full-length, standalone romance.

Ratings and reviews

I really enjoyed this story! It was interesting and entertaining and pulled me in from beginning to end. I loved that this connected 2 of her series (Swoony and Light My Fire) though it can be read as a standalone there are recurring characters from both series in this one. I loved both Dylan and Piper and this has one of my favorite tropes, brother's best friend. It was well done, just like the rest of the story and I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to more.

Dylan and Piper had my heart all gooey with this wonderful story. When she is left at the airport with tickets to a concert all paid for Dylan comes to the rescue when her boyfriend doesn't show. Snowed in on top of everything else leads to one unimaginable outing for the two. Will friendships be lost, or new begging's started. Dylan and Piper had me in their corner cheering them on to finding happiness. I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.

4.5 Stars This is book 9 in the Light My Fire series and it features Dylan and Piper. They truly were meant to be. There was no real angst or villain in this story. It was a story about two people and how they fell in love. It really is refreshing to occasionally read a love story without all the extra storyline. Just the reader and two people who are destined to be together. It felt real and extremely passionate! Fabulous weekend read!
