Synopsis (Goodreads):

Sinta is coming to town - but this time he’s the one receiving a gift.

An unexpected inheritance comes at the perfect time for Holly. Her on-again, off-again relationship is off for good, her Christmas plans have been canceled, and her parents have decided to spend the holiday traveling. But the remote mountain cabin she inherited is not the idyllic paradise she remembers from her childhood. There’s no power, no cell service, and she's quite sure someone - or something - is watching her from the woods…

Sinta’s observation trip to this primitive planet has gone disastrously wrong. His ship's systems have gone haywire, the freezing temperatures have thrown his body into his beast-like survival mode, and he's lost touch with his world. Then the enchanting human female he spies from the woods threatens to throw his beast into a mating frenzy…

When Sinta and Holly are forced to work together to survive they discover an unexpected connection – but is there any future for them once the holidays are over?

This sweet and steamy holiday tale is part of the Stranded With an Alien collection, a collaboration of authors telling holiday tales with a science fiction romance twist. Each book is a standalone, containing its own Happily Ever After, and they can be read in any order. Intended for mature readers!

Thoughts on Sinta: A human stranded (of a sort) in an isolated cabin and an alien stranded on a primitive (by his standards) planet. I'm ready for this!

Holly kinda sorta overestimates her ability to rough it in her new (to her, not new-new...uh, it's not actually new to her, either. She just hadn't been there in a while and had forgotten how rustic things were. You know what? Just go with it.) cabin and ends up getting a little help from the alien hanging out in the woods. To be fair, Holly DOES know how to take care of herself, it's just that things are a little overwhelming and there's a lot more to do to keep things running than she remembered.

Fortunately for her, there's a hunky alien skulking in the woods as he waits for his ship to be repaired. Sinta takes a bit of liking to Holly and her charmingly primitive lifestyle and it isn't long before he's helping her out. Anonymously, of course, since, you know, he's an alien. Then they meet face to face and THINGS HAPPEN.

A little holiday cheer, an alien with fur and fangs (among other things), a lady who isn't afraid of something a little different, and a couple of very satisfying encounters. GOOD STUFF!
