Cruel Winter with You

Under the Mistletoe Collection

By: Ali Hazelwood

Narrated by: Vivienne LaRue

For two former childhood friends, a blustery winter storm stirs some frosty—and scorching—memories in a delightfully sexy short story by #1 New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood.

All newly minted pediatrician Jamie Malek wants is to borrow a roasting pan for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, that requires her to interact with Marc—her best friend’s troublemaking brother, who’s now a tech billionaire. He’s the one who got away. She’s the one who broke his heart. Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.

Ali Hazelwood’s Cruel Winter with You is part of Under the Mistletoe, a collection of sexy December romances to warm the cold winter nights. They can be read or listened to in one swoony sitting.

Cute novella!

✨Thoughts✨
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 is the classic best friend's brother scenario with both pining for each for what seems forever. Jamie and Marc practically grew up together, but a misunderstanding drifted them apart. When they find themselves snowed in, they are forced to confront those feelings. It was a sweet novella, I loved it!

Perfect!

This was the perfect quick listen for the spicy Christmas romance lovers! I would recommend this 10 times over! This was also my first Ali Hazelwood book and I am now obsessed!

The cutest winter short story!

I loved the forced proximity, STEM, billionaire romance, and childhood friends romance.
I loved going back to when these first two met and their journey through school to adulthood.
Fast paced perfect for a short cozy read.

Adorable short story

It was expertly executed in the short time, loved the movement between present and past. Always love a ‘he falls first’ love story.

Pretty cute!

I liked the story! It caught me and there was complexity to both characters even though it’s a short read
