My Review
What I liked most is that the story started out one way and completely changed to something different.
Felicity is feeling lonely at Christmas time and calls on her sister Emily, and her two children to help cheer her up. They do, and it’s really fun as they get involved in all the great Christmas festivities. She is sorry to wave them goodbye and I enjoyed it too.
When the snowman she built with the children comes to life during the night, Felicity goes to investigate what the noises are. What she discovers is when the story changes from a family read to a spicy fantasy romance.
This is a short and entertaining tale. Perfect for an afternoon, or maybe an evening as it spares no blushes!

Book Blurb and Link
Felicity usually loves Christmas, but this year, her perpetual singleness casts a shadow over the holiday cheer.
To shake off her gloom, she agrees to babysit her niece and nephew, Mia and William, while her sister Emily gets some much-needed Christmas shopping done.
Building a snowman with the kids brings a smile to Felicity’s face, but it’s a temporary distraction from the loneliness she feels. When she confides in her sister, Emily teases, “If only Frosty the Snowman could come to life like in the children’s song.”
Later that night, Felicity is startled awake by a strange noise outside. Expecting to find a stray animal rummaging through the rubbish, she’s stunned when she sees the snowman she and the kids built earlier moving.
With Emily’s teasing words echoing in her mind, Felicity rushes outside, unable to resist the impossible notion that Frosty might have come to life.
Under the winter moonlight, Felicity watches in awe as the snowman sheds his frosty exterior, revealing a breathtakingly handsome snow-elf named Talvi, summoned from the faerie realm by a surge of festive magic.
Felicity’s first thought is to find Talvi some clothes before the neighbours catch sight of his chiselled, naked form. Her second thought is just how irresistibly sexy this snow-elf is.
Inviting him inside, the two warm up over mugs of hot chocolate. Felicity muses that maybe Emily’s joke was more than just that—perhaps Talvi has been sent to melt away her loneliness.
Rather than being put off by her theory, Talvi smiles and reveals that in the faerie realm during Yule, there’s a tradition for keeping warm—a tradition he’d love to share with her.
Despite his icy origins, things quickly heat up as Felicity leads Talvi to her bedroom, where she soon discovers that his ability to control his body temperature makes for some very tantalising experiences under the covers.
