Baby, It's Cold Outside is a spectacular contemporary romance by Kait Nolan. Ms. Nolan has provided readers with a well-written book and furnished it with a phenomenal cast of characters. Ivy Blake is dealing with a raging case of writer's block. She packs and takes off for a relaxing spa treatment at the Misfit Inn but ends up going over the side of a mountain. Harrison is ex-military and going to his friend's cabin to escape for a few days. Harrison and Ivy's story is loaded with drama, humor, sizzle and surprises. Warning, once you start this book, you're not going to want to put it down, so find a comfy spot before you open it. Baby, It's Cold Outside is book 1 of the Rescue My Heart Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliffhanger.

I demand more Ivy and Harrison! NOW! I’m nowhere near being done with their story even though the book is over. I love this author’s quirky, zany sense of humor. She always has me in stitches over at least one scene in every book. She also manages to land me in tears over the course of nearly every book, too. (I didn’t quite go over the edge with this one, but there was a lot of hard blinking.) A pair of loners run away to from their responsibilities, seeking peace. It’s either the set up to a great joke or one heck of a story. What if it’s a little bit of both? To me, that’s exactly what this book became: funny, sweet, quirky, and at times tragic. It’s a bit of a roller-coaster ride. But, like the best roller-coaster rides, you want to go back around again as soon as you’re done. On a side note, I was perfectly happy with the fictional Stormageddon. I didn’t appreciate the cosmic timing that dumped a foot of the fluffy white stuff on my home town while I read about Ivy and Harrison’s icy encounter (the first time). I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.

The story centers around Ivy Blake and Harrison Wilkes. Ivy is a very successful author of thrillers, though she has a male pen name. At the moment, she has hit the infamous writer’s block and decides a change of scenery might help her get inspiration. Besides, it also gives her a chance to get off the grid so her agent can’t contact her. Harrison is an ex- Army Ranger , who carries a great deal of survival guilt for the men he lost in battle. His scars are deep , as are his nightmares. He takes up the offer of an isolated cabin a friend has up in the mountains of Eden’s Ridge. Harrison meets Ivy literally by accident when he rescues her in the snowstorm. In doing so and spending time with her, he also help her with her book. The chemistry is evident but life has a way of creating chaos . Each one thought the other had left without looking back. It’s a sweet story, with interesting main and secondary characters. I can easily see stories for some of them. It’s also a story that highlights the effects war and loss has on our returning troops. Reminding us that as a society , we need to do more to help them integrate back to civilian life. I can’t wait to read what else this talented author has for us. I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
