Erik Josef is a forty-three-year-old, recently divorced businessman with one goal: wrap up his last project of the year so he can spend the holidays in Tahiti. All he wants is drinks on a beach, served to him by a woman in a bikini. While waiting at an airport bar for his business partner to fly into Buffalo, New York, he encounters Seth Cobb, a chatty travel writer waiting for a flight to … flight to Pittsburgh to visit his family.
After a huge snowstorm grounds all flights, a mix-up at the Williamsville Inn leads to Erik and Seth sharing a room. Seth’s love of Christmas gets on Erik’s last nerve, but a mugful of Seth’s hot chocolate slowly melts Erik’s icy exterior.
When Erik realizes he’s attracted to Seth, he must choose between the life he’s always known, or a new adventure with a man a decade younger and a second chance at happiness.

Snowstorms and Second Chances by Brigham Vaughn is part of the “Williamsville Inn Christmas Story” universe and can absolutely be read as a stand-alone. (I’m absolutely going to hunting for more stories that take place at this Inn)
Seth and Erik have a meet-cute which turns from a casual encounter, to a mix up at The Inn, to a lovely story about second chances; second chances for an Inn and second chances for one discovering his authentic self.
This is a well written, very detailed story that has great character development and a well thought out plot. The story moves at a fast pace and was a quick and easy read. It does contain open door sex and a little bit of a mystery that I hope is solved in the other stories.
I would absolutely recommend this tale.

I really enjoyed this book. I liked that it was just enough different from other books to not seem stale. Erik and Seth are both great characters.
I look forward to more books.
I was given an arc copy of this book with no requirement to write a review.
I was so thrilled I had a chance to read and review this book when I found it here. Another terrific holiday story from this author. Another visit to the Williamsville Inn and another fantastic romance that takes place there. Seth and Erik fill these pages with so much goodness it’s lovely. From their rough beginning to their HEA it was just perfect. I fell in love with this place and enjoyed, so much, returning for a visit.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
