Snowbody Like You by Ariella Zoelle
Suite Dreams, Book 1
Getting stranded with an attractive stranger in a hotel room with only one bed is something Jude’s dreamed about forever. When he finds himself in that situation for real, can it live up to his expectations?
Jude Moore
I never expected a blizzard to turn one of my daydreams into a reality. The meet-cute gods generously bless me with the perfect costar to act out my favorite scenario about being snowed in at a hotel room with only one bed. Rigby is my ideal fantasy man brought to life: tall, adorable, with a dash of academic nerdiness thrown in to make him absolutely perfect. The best part is that he’s actually real and not just a figment of my imagination.
Is it too soon to ask if he wants his next starring role to be my boyfriend?
Rigby Pasquali
Falling in love with a charming cutie at the airport during a flight delay was not on my to-do list, but a chance encounter with Jude teaches me that the impossible is actually possible. He’s full of endless surprises like that. Once we get back home, my favorite discovery is learning that his creative imagination is as vivid as mine. That’s when things get really exciting as he makes all of my dreams come true.
Jude is made of magic and muchness, so how could I not love him with all my heart?

Chapter 2: Rigby Pasquali
Once we arrived at the hotel and went up to the front desk, a woman greeted us from behind the counter. She had a friendly smile, curly brunette hair, and reminded me of my mom. “Welcome to the Wintervale Luxurian Suites Hotel. It looks like you made it just in the nick of time.”
“Thanks! I’m going to take a wild guess that you’re Tanya,” Jude said as we stepped up to the counter.
“I sure am. That means you two must be the cuties Laurie sent over here.”
Jude grinned at her as he passed the voucher over to her. “That would be us. And we’re incredibly happy to be here. We appreciate Laurie doing her part to help us take our first steps toward our happily ever after together. Staying at a Luxurian Suites Hotel is going to make for an epic story when we tell everyone this is where we fell in love.”
Tanya giggled behind her hand. “Wow, she really wasn’t kidding when she said you were charming. I can’t thank you enough for helping make her day. Whenever we get bad weather like this, I always worry about her having to put up with all the inconvenienced jerks who act like it’s her fault it snowed.”
“She has the patience of a saint to put up with that,” I said. “It’s not right how people treat her.”
“That’s the funny thing about the hospitality industry—it’s filled with some of the most inhospitable people you can imagine.” She ruefully shook her head. “I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve been told off because someone wasn’t happy with their turndown service or there weren’t enough towels in their bathroom.”
It was depressing how terribly people behaved. “That definitely won’t be us. We’re so grateful to be here and not at the airport with all the pissed-off people.”
She typed on her computer, then gave us an ornery look. “Would it ruin your day if I told you there was only one room left that had a king bed in it for you to share?”
“Nope, I’d say it’s our lucky day,” Jude told her with a grin.
My heart skipped a beat at sharing a bed with him. “That would be amazing, actually.”
Tanya made the arrangements on the computer before passing us a card with the room keys in it. “Good, because that’s one of my favorite romance tropes. Enjoy your stay. If you need anything, just call down here to the front desk and I’ll make magic happen for you.”
“Thanks for taking such great care of us, Tanya. Stay safe if you have to drive home tonight.” Something told me if there wasn’t a counter between them, Jude would have hugged her. He seemed like that type of person.
“Yes, thank you so much.” I was in awe of how Jude’s playful kindness had helped us land in the lap of luxury. “We really appreciate your kind generosity in letting us stay here tonight.”
“You’re welcome. Have fun falling in love, boys.”

Flawsome Explorations
Coming July 23
Unexpected sparks fly when a shy, straight, nerdy sweetheart meets a flirtatious, sexy, older Frenchman. Is Zio brave enough to take a chance on Armand?
Fabrizio “Zio” Revello
I embrace the philosophy that nobody is perfect by studying the art of imperfection. But then I meet Armand, forcing me to completely reevaluate my world view. From his gorgeous face, teasing sense of humor, and a French accent to die for, everything about him makes me forget one very important detail: I’ve never been attracted to a man until him. I shouldn’t let him tempt me, but the glimpse of the real Armand behind his playful flirtations makes him impossible to resist.
I’ve never been the adventurous type, but Armand makes me want to be brave and daring. Isn’t a lifetime of happiness with a person who understands me worth the risk?
Armand Bellamy
I approach Zio in search of a no-strings-attached evening of fun to kick off my business trip to Hawaii. But I get way more than I bargained for when I discover a shy, nerdy sweetheart who finds beauty in my flaws. He even accepts the hidden parts of my heart that I hide from the world. It makes me want to make him mine—not just for one night but for every night of the rest of our lives.
He says he’s straight, but when have I ever let that stop me from getting what I want?
