Pumpkin. The smell. The spice in my latte. The pie that’s synonymous with my favorite holiday. Thanksgiving holds memories of family and togetherness. So when a storm cancels my travel plans, my roommate takes pity on me and I find myself sharing the holiday across the table from my greatest crush—her older brother.Finlay Ross. He was a senior in high school when I was still in pig tails. … pig tails. Popular, the star quarterback, he was the first boy I got a stomach flip over, and the only guy I’ve ever wanted. Pity a curvy girl like me would never be on his radar. He probably doesn’t even know I exist.
So why does he keep looking at me like he’s starving and I’m the feast?
This could turn out to be a thanksgiving I’ll never forget.
Warning: this quick read contains over-the-top declarations, insta-love and molten hot moments between a curvy girl and a dirty-talking hero who wants nothing more than a sweet little piece of pumpkin pie.

I really enjoyed this one, but probably not as much as the first. Even though I absolutely loooove an age gap (13 years) AND a sibling’s best friend story…
Petra is 19 and she isn’t able to make it home for Thanksgiving so her best friend Claire invites her to spend the holiday with her and her brother, Finlay, who is 32. But Petra has basically been in love with Fin for years.
…and apparently Fin has wanted Petra for the last 2 years. Claire conveniently leaves the 2 of them alone together and they get up to some nasty business. Petra is a virgin, never even kissed a dude before, so she gives it all to Fin.
There’s a tiny bit of drama that is resolved within a few paragraphs. Not too bad.
Epilogues were cute as always.
I was kinda missing something from this though. Maybe it was just a bit too short. I dunno. That’s why I rated this slightly lower than book 1 but I still enjoyed reading it overall.
3.5
It’s alright. Steamy. But I think the previous book was better. Not sure why. Just didn’t feel. This one. Cute happy ending though.
this was a great little holiday read gathering around thanksgiving. petra was stuck away from home as the weather became worse. offering to spending the holiday with her best friend and her brother, petra tried to get out of it. crushing on fin for years would make the weekend worse. when fin finds out the woman of his dreams is spending the holidays with him and his sister, Claire. he doesn’t know how he will be able to keep his hands off of petra. a steamy insta love romance which makes everyone thankful.
I really liked this book. This is my first book by this author, now I’m going to have to look to see if she has other books that I can read as well!
For a short book, this had a lot going on. There was the little sister’s best friend, but also the older man and younger woman thing going on all around the Thanksgiving Holiday in this story. Petra is sweet and innocent and secretly in love with her best friend’s older brother Finlay (Fin). Fin has tried to resist his feelings for Petra for years. Over the Thanksgiving Holiday, Petra and Fin find themselves alone together and things escalate from there. Loved their happy ever after. Definitely recommend reading this one, especially if you like some steam! Must read.

Another cute short holiday read.
Petra’s never spent a holiday alone. However, this year the weather worked against her and now she’s stranded in Boston for Thanksgiving.
But Petra’s roommate and best friend isn’t going to allow her to wallow in self pity this holiday. She convinces Petra to spend the holiday with her and her older brother Finlay.
For Petra, she’s only ever had eyes on Finlay. He’s the kind of man she always dreamed she’d one day marry. She watched as he gave up everything after his parents death to raise his little sister. But sadly he’s only ever pushed Petra away or ignored her.
But things are changing this holiday season. Petra is no longer a little girl with pigtails. She’s a grown woman, a woman with curves in all the right places and Fin is not waiting a second longer to claim something for himself.
This was a cute story.
I could’ve done without the fight between Finlay and his sister after she walks in on him and Petra. It’s not cool to throw back in her face everything he gave up for her.
He loves her and her pumpkin pie
Megan can definitely bake a pumpkin pie and she can also bring Finlay, aka Fin, to his knees.
Megan is nineteen years old and is stranded at college in Boston for Thanksgiving because of storms. She ends up going with her best friend and roommate, Claire, to her older brother Fin’s apartment for the holidays. Claire and Megan grew up together until Claire and Fin moved from Florida to Boston a couple of years ago.
Megan has had a crush on Fin for years. He is the only man that she thinks about, dreams about and has saved herself for. What she doesn’t know is that Fin has been in love with her for the last couple of years, since she was seventeen, and that is one of the reasons why he and Claire moved. Being thirty-two years old Fin realized that he needed to put some distance between them because he was having very wrong thoughts about his young sister’s best friend.
This Thanksgiving Megan and Fin may both end up with other things to be thankful for once the storm hits and the lights go out. After all you do need a way to keep warm!!!
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Pure fantasy but, oh my, what a delightful romantic scenario. Ms. Wade paints in this story. Lovely time out of warp reading.

Petra is in love with her best friends older brother Finlay. Finlay is thirteen years older than his sister Claire and turned down a scholarship to raise her when their parents were killed. She met Petra and Finlay began having feelings for her. Now they are in college and Petra can’t go home so she goes home with Claire. Petra and Finlay can’t deny their attraction this Thanksgiving……..short and fun!!

Short, sweet, and sexy. This book is the perfect length if you’re looking for a quick and enjoyable read. I absolutely loved Finley and Petra. He’s head over heels in love with his little sister’s best friend and tired of fighting it. She’s insanely gaga for her BFF’s hot brother. A freak Thanksgiving snow storm gives them the chance to act on their feelings. A great little book. Enjoy.
