Family inheritance or his own passion… Can he have both?

Hunter’s life is turned upside down when he’s forced to leave his ‘job of a lifetime’. When chance tosses him into the path of a very talented, and handsome young nurse, his life takes on a new direction he never could’ve anticipated.

Cam’s focus had shifted from pursuing his musical passion to nursing. But a one-night stand quickly changes into so much more, especially when that one-night stand ends up helping to run his late grandmother’s resort.

Career changes, inheritances, and a greedy corporation all make it seem impossible for these two men to make it. But, on the slopes of Colorado, they might just find love in the melody of the snow.

REVIEW:

Blake Allwood has officially become a one-click author for me. He writes it and I’m going to immediate want it!

Hunter did the right thing and being a deputy sheriff that is how it’s suppose to be. Catch the thief red-handed and arrest him. Unfortunately in his small town in Kansas, where the good ol’ boys club protect their own and a child of an interracial marriage still gets bullied, called names and harassed for the color of his skin, being a deputy sheriff and the son of a deputy sheriff killed in the line of duty doesn’t mean much. So, after thinking long and hard, Hunter realizes that he needs a new job and a new life away from that toxic environment. His aunt and uncle help him get a job doing what he loves…skiing and protecting the other skiers on the mountain as head of the ski patrol at the resort they just started to help manage. But Hunter needs to “blow off a bit of steam” before he heads to the tiny resort in the mountains of Colorado. Cam is exhausted and his best friend knows it. His back-to-back nursing shifts are wearing on him and he knows there is no way he can get out of going out with Tommy. At the club the first person he sees it the tall as a mountain and sexy to boot Hunter. After he is involuntarily roped in for an impromptu performance on stage both men know where they are headed. But only one night of glorious sex is all that’s in the cards for these two men who have commitments…or are their ways destined to collided and grow like a Melody in the Snow?

This is a sweet romance that hits with all the good feels. Both Hunter and Cam are good, hard working men but their passions have been squashed. You just want…no need for them to connect and get their HEA! They both deserve it. But that road isn’t always easy and thankfully they both work hard for themselves too and what they deserve.

This book is one of those times when you wish you could type in Gay Nightingale in a search engine and Hunter’s home video of Cam preforming would come up. I also would have loved to have seen him sing his super sexy song that he wrote about Hunter for Drag Dance. That sounded so hot.

I love that this book has some great sexy times but that they don’t overpower the story. They compliment it. Whether it is intense and inspires the song Cam builds in his head and becomes a hit or sweet and loving that builds their relationship these two men click on all levels. I loved that the author mixed it up and gave us all sides of the dominating and loving Hunter that fit Cam perfectly. And Cam wasn’t afraid to voice his needs either. They truly are two puzzle pieces that linked perfectly.

I am really, really hoping that this is the start of a new series. I loved getting to know Hunter and Cam and would like to see where it all goes from here. But what I really need is Cam’s best friend Tommy’s story with Hunter’s cousin Josiah. We would get more of Cam and Hunter’s story as Josiah gets the Kell Museum of Art up and going plus watch how Tommy goes from one-and-done guy to a committed relationship.
