    About this ebook

    There's a snowstorm barreling down on Seattle, and Heather's committed to being at her cousin's party on the other side of the mountains. When a sexy man from her past offers her a ride, she only briefly questions her sanity before accepting.

    Tony has never forgotten Heather, or their brief encounter at a party over the summer. Back then she was dating his co-worker, but now that's she single he's not about to let her walk out of his life again. If driving her over a mountain pass is what it'll take to win her over, he's sure as hell going to give it a try.

    Even with the temperature outside falling, it isn't long before things inside the car start heating up.

      Baby It's Cold Outside is a scorching little 12-page erotic “quickie.” It was super hot without being kinky, but definitely mostly about the sex. I'm usually not a fan of hook-up-now, ask-questions-later romances, and even though Quinton and Heather had briefly met a few months before, they were still virtual strangers. I may not have been entirely comfortable with the set-up for the story, but I did find it to be surprisingly enjoyable in spite of that. It might have been the sizzling love scene combined with the stranded in a snowstorm theme which I typically like. I also think I gave the author a little bit of slack since this was such a short novella, whereas I would have expected a lot more from a full-length novel. Or perhaps I was just in the right mood for it at the right time. Whatever the reasons, it turned out to be a fun, steamy little read. This was my first story by Shelli Stevens, and it has certainly left me open to trying more of her works, which is good since I already have a couple of them on my TBR list. According to Ms. Stevens' website this is the third in her Seattle Steam series, which I didn't know until after reading it. I'm not sure if Quinton or Heather appeared in the earlier books, but Heather is the cousin of Christy from book #2, Tempting Adam. She and Adam make a brief appearance at the end of the story. Baby It's Cold Outside is available as a free download from Samhaim Publishing and the author's website.

    You’re sure the cut doesn’t make me look too frumpy?

    Heather squeezed her fingers around the styling brush, and kept an encouraging smile pasted on her face. The salon was almost empty. Just her, the customer, and Bing Crosby singing White Christmas. Again.

    You look fantastic, Georgiana. Heather touched the edges of the older woman’s bob. The same haircut she asked for every three months.

    Well. The older woman tilted her head left and then right. She gave a slow nod and smiled. Yes. Yes I suppose it does. Henry will be so pleased.

    Of course he will. Heather unfastened the black apron from around her client’s neck and lowered her chair so the petite woman could stand up. Alright, let’s get you on your way to your holiday party.

    And maybe she could run home quickly before attempting to get to her cousin’s party as well.

    A half hour later she fumbled to lock up her shop, clutching her long faux fur jacket around her festive red halter dress. God, it was colder than a witch’s tit out here.

    She turned from her shop and
