Lady Macbeth's Reviews > Planes, Trains, and Hurricanes

4.5 stars
What a lovely story! This is my first book of Eli Easton and I really enjoyed it. It's a classic Christmas novella with strangers to lovers, forced proximity, insta connection.

Joe is a young ambitious man, eager to be a responsible and accomplished adult and about to be engaged with his boss' daughter (the classic cold self centered woman). He finds himself stuck in Florida during a hurricane and he rents a car to drive to New York in time for his engagement; one of his clients asks him for a favour, so he starts his journey with an attractive young social worker who will unconsciously push him to reconsider his life choices.

I loved Remi, especially the fact that he never spoke badly about Joe's girlfriend: he's a genuine person who got a second chance in his life and now he's trying to make the most of it.
I also appreciated that, while they did connect instantly and felt comfortable around each other, sexual attraction wasn't the main thing that pushed them into each other arms (the spice level of this story is very very low).

I would have loved a little more romance and sweet talking, but I really enjoyed this book, it was a nice and easy reading and I surely recommend it.

I received an ARC of this book from Gay Romance Reviews and this is my honest review.
