Blurb: Extreme weather, three witches, two skiers fighting their own demons--and each other…who wins?

Keela Branford’s passion for extreme winter sports, fueled by anger at a cheating soon to be ex-husband, drives her to brave sub-zero wind chills and break a lot of rules--including the one to never ski alone. There are just some battles that have to be fought despite the risks.

Keela doesn't think much of Rick Marston, a ski lift attendant who is brazen enough to question Keela's judgment. And she thinks even less of his invitation for a drink when she comes down from the summit. She's sworn off controlling jocks like her ex, and is determined to exorcise the demon of self-doubt inside her. Will Keela win the battle against The Witches waiting for her on the ski slopes? And will the heat between Keela and the man who gets in the middle rout them for good?

Review: If I said I was expecting more, it wouldn't be a lie. BUT if I said I was disappointed it wouldn't be the truth.

Though this shorty wasn't exactly what I expected, it wasn't a total wash. With some pretty good love scenes, a couple battling real problems, and a bit of paranormal thrown in the mix it made of an interesting quick read.

There were some really cute, witty remarks that made me laugh splashed in for good measure. I like a story that is quirky. I would like to see more from this author before I put her on my Must Read list :)
