A Risk Worth Taking

This new holiday novella from the author of You, With a View and The Ex Vows was the last book I read in 2024, and the perfect close to my reading year. (Many thanks to my friend and team member Leigh who told me it existed—I had no idea!) It's about a woman named Claire who meets a great (and gorgeous) guy she really clicks with ... the night before she's set to move from Portland to San Francisco to take a new job. But before she goes, she embarks on a wildly out of character one-night fling with Connor. When a snow and ice storm turns one night into a whole weekend, that proves to be long enough for them both to realize they belong together, even if their lives make that impossible for the time being. I loved the sweet story, lively banter, and earned happy ending in this delightful little novella.
