30-year-old Tristan Silver was a very happy nerd until his dad got the crazy idea of merging their company with that of a former competitor turned friend, creating Silver & Gold Tech and saddling him with a very annoying, pint-sized Co-CEO that’s been bent on driving him crazy since the first time they met.Natalie might be curvy and easy on the eyes, but she’s an opinionated ball-buster that … ball-buster that only opens her mouth to pester him like a veritable malware jammed into his system.
He totally loathes her.
And now his dad wants to drag him to a week-long company retreat for Christmas so they can bond and set a good example for the others.
That’s not how he envisioned spending his holidays.
28-year-old Natalie Gold was a very happy nerd until her dad promoted her to CEO of their company with the proviso that she must work with the most arrogant, brooding, unsociable bossy jerk on the face of the earth.
The giant bastard certainly knows how to do a pair of dark-rimmed glasses justice and how to rock a five o’clock shadow, but for every inch of his hunky sexiness there’s a price to pay, because he seems to live to contradict her and as soon as he opens his mouth, he becomes the absolute bane of her existence.
She totally loathes him.
And now her dad wants to turn her Christmas celebration into a cheery eggnog-spiked trip to snowy hell by forcing her to share close quarters with her stuck-up Co-CEO and to play nice with him to promote good teamwork between their execs.
That’s not how she envisioned spending her holidays.
Silver and Gold should go together, particularly on Christmas, but Tristan and Natalie have other ideas on how to spend the Most Wonderful Time Of The Year ; too bad they are bound together and surrounded by snow with nowhere to escape and nothing else to do but act like they are best buddies while they try not to throttle each other.
Then again, trying not to jump each other’s bones might prove to be more difficult.
Dear Reader:
This is a standalone, No-cheating and HEA-guaranteed naughty and nice holiday novella that features an OTT Alpha nerd that doesn’t know that there’s a fine line between love and hate, a sassy and curvy computer geek heroine that walks that thin line with him just as obliviously, and a bickering passion that turns into a fiery love that could melt snow and incinerate mistletoe just in time for Christmas.
Silver and Gold are definitely a must this year, trust me, they look amazing wrapped all over each other. wink
*Please note that Bound for Christmas is book 23 in the ’A Forever Safe Christmas’ multi-author collection, each one of the stories is set in its own universe so the books can be read in any order and also as standalones.

Silver and Gold.
Tristan hates his co-CEO, Natalie.
Except he’s totally has a jones for her too.
And vise versa.
They merged their companies and now it’s time to merge their bodies over a Christmas retreat.
Fun and nerdy enjoyment.

Natalie and Tristan are the CEO’s of each of their families companies. When their father decided to merge their businesses making them CO-CEO’S so they wouldn’t be competitors anymore they didn’t talk to their kids before they made the deal. To say things didn’t go smoothly for the transition is not really describing it. When things start to really get out of hand the fathers take everyone to a resort for the holiday so it can be sort between the families. They have counselors there to help out. However Natalie and Tristan have their own cabin and a couples counselor to sort out their differences. Will either of them admit to having feeling for the other? Can they move forward to something more?
This is a great story once I started it I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

But as the years pass and they continue a tradition of returning to the chalet every Christmas they have a heartbreak that only brings them closer.
Then one Christmas eve their wish came true in a double package.
This book is full of laughs eighty percent through.
Then the next twenty is filled with passion and steamy scenes.

This book is one of those hidden gems in my opinion. I was expecting a book where they see each other and hit it off right away. With a great deal of hot steamy sexy times. That the hero was into having control. Well, he is but not the way I thought. What I got was something more. They have great chemistry and attraction. I also got heavy drama, I would recommend this to anyone!! Who loves Holiday Romances!!

Bound for Christmas is book 23 in the ’A Forever Safe Christmas’ multi-author collection and is an enjoyable holiday romance.
Tristan Silver and Natalie Gold are great characters, nerdy, intelligent, and have great chemistry. It’s a shame that they hate each other. But hate is akin to love, as they soon find out. This is a well-written story with lots of humour, sarcasm, banter, and steamy romance.

Tristan and Natalie have been forced to work together since their fathers merged their companies. Each being Co-CEOs, they cannot see eye to eye and hate each other. Since they can’t seem to get along, their parents decide to take the extreme and have all the executives and their families go to a retreat for Christmas. Being stranded together, they will either learn to work together or completely lose their companies. During their stay, they get snowed in their cabin. Will they finally look deep down and realize underneath all that hate is really a love so deep it’s scary??
-safe read
-both have been celibate for several years
-no om/ow drama
-epilogues 4 years and 3 years after that
This is book twenty three in the A Forever Safe Christmas series. I have not read all the books and it is not necessary to enjoy this one. Meet Tristan and Natalie, two very happy and nerdy people who find themselves attracted and tormented by one another. Their fathers thought it best to merge their companies and this left the CEO’s no choice but to get along. To help provide a united front, a company Christmas trip is planned which neither is looking forward to. Will this trip help Tristan and Natalie successfully bond together or not? Nobody was clear in what level of bonding was expected so when the professional line is crossed, will it matter? A quick, steamy and fun story. Enjoy!

Tristan Silver and Natalie Gold are not just Co-CEOs of Silver and Gold Tech…..they are also the bane of each other’s existence. As each character is quick to point out, they live to disagree with the other and refuse to agree eleven if they know the other may be right. The one thing they both agree on, but don’t really know, is that they find each other irritatingly attractive. The pair are forced in to a work retreat where a blizzard forced them to admit their true feelings. An amazing HEA is the best climax the reader can ask for. The epilogue and second epilogue takes the reader both 4 and 7 years down the road from their initial connection.

Tristan and Natalie were wonderful. Absolutely loved it. Can’t wait to see what comes next.
Gold vs Silver
And the winner is…both of them!! Natalie and Tristan fought like cats and dogs. It only took a blizzard, their moms’ meddling and not so conventional team building exercises to shake things up for their HEA! “…more happiness than I ever knew I could hold in my soul…”!! How sweet is that?!!

I really enjoyed Bound for Christmas. I have read a few other books by Ember Flint and this one was just as good.
This short enemies to lovers story was a hot read. Tristan Silver and Natalie Gold was thrown together by their respective parents to be Co-CEOs. They were constantly bickering and hating each other so their parents set up a retreat for team building. Who would have known close quarters would bring out their true feelings for each other. When they finally get together their chemistry is off the charts. The epilogues that were included were sweet and enjoyable, I highly recommend this book if you want to laugh and cry. Great Read!

Such a delightful story! Tristan and Natalie are Co-CEO’s after their fathers companies merge. They don’t get along so are Forced to spend time together to work out their issues. I loved how Tristian went full alpha after he realized his hate for Natalie was really love all this time. And Natalie was such a strong and fun character. Overall a great book! I received an ARC via booksprout in exchange for a fair and honest review.
A classic enemies to lovers romance, steamy in the extreme! Tristan and Natalie are too busy arguing to realize that they’ve fallen in love. Being snowed in at a chalet over Christmas soon changes that misconception! Both characters are utterly loveable and hilarious to read! Love love loved this book!
