The kitchen isn’t the only thing heating up this winter… what you want. When she falls off a ladder in her café and breaks her ankle, she fears her plans are doomed. Until the sexy bear Healer, Holt, comes to the rescue—stirring up more than just recipes.
Mating has never been at the top of Holt’s to-do list, and he’s known Tiffany all her life. So when the mating urge slams into him after mending her ankle, he’s taken aback—unsure and intrigued at the same time. The girl he watched grow up is now a curvy, sensual woman, and his bear wants to claim her. He wants to claim her.
The stubborn female refuses to follow Healer’s orders and allow her ankle to heal, and she’s hell-bent on catering the winter celebrations. In order to do what needs to be done, she insists that he help her. Since it gives him an excuse to stay by her side, he’s all right with that. As they work side by side to make the Solstice unforgettable, their passions ignite, and things turn utterly delicious.

Man I love sweets and from this story we know that Tiffany has the best. They are celebrating the mating of her brother and Winter Solstice if memory serves me well. She has made a beautiful cake and is transporting it back to the den as a storm is about to hit. While reaching for the cake topper she falls and breaks her ankle so she is very upset how will she complete the preparations for the celebration?
Holt is the clan Healer and it was he that is called to help Tiffany. Suddenly after watching her grow up a few years behind him his bear sits up and realizes that she is their mate but how will Tiffany feel about the suddenness of the mating dance he is about to begin.
Another awesome visit to the Blackrock Clan and once again we have a sensitive bear that wants to do right by his mate. Ms. Davis just takes me along for the ride as this time I long to be Tiffany as she falls in love. I received a complimentary copy but have not been compensated in any way for this opinion.
Nothing says holiday like fresh baked goods, and lots of party foods. No one makes them better than Tiffany and when a storm threatens, she decides to move everything from Beary Sweets to her home. She doesn’t want the food to be stuck far away from the Winter Celebrations of Solstice and Matings.
In the process of moving things to the truck she spots the cake topper she thought she misplaced, out of her reach so she climbs up falls and breaks her ankle. Shouldn’t be too big a deal Holt will fix her up and she’ll be good as new.
Only Holt doesn’t do a quick heal and quickly finds himself recruited to help. All it takes is a kiss that he’s not sure how happened and he’s fleeing the scene. Leaving Tiffany feeling hurt and rejected thinking he doesn’t feel the mating pull.
That all changes the next day after completing the prep for the next day’s celebration. Tiffany’s Mom takes Kaylee off for the rest of the day, leaving Holt and Tiffany alone. Subtle they aren’t, but they are shifters after all.
Now we can’t have everything go smoothly even at the holidays so the storm has to throw some wrenches into the mix. Not enough to spoil the ceremonies but enough to cause some angst.
Lots of love, laughter and very few tears. A perfect holiday read.
Sweetly sexy, emotionally engaging, action packed and fun romantic journey filled with holiday cheer and the love of family and friends… Highly entertaining from beginning to end and so hard to put down, I devoured this story in one afternoon……
Overall rating: 4.3
This tale is short and sweet. Although this is a stand-alone, reading this as part of the series does make it more enriching. Of course, these characters sprang to life immediately, and I enjoyed the instant acceptance between the fated pair. It was also enjoyable to read about the importance of the Solstice to the clan.
