Big Package
by Opal Carew
Blurb:
Baby it’s cold outside…but things are about to
heat up.
I
missed the last bus to my sister’s for Christmas, and now I'm stranded in a bus
station—in the middle of a blizzard—with a giant package covered in naughty
wrapping paper.
Then
he shows up: Kalen Welles, the football star from my high school fantasies—and
offers me a ride.
Just
when the car is getting cozy, the roads get shut down due to snow.
Luckily
there’s a nearby cabin where we can hole up for the night.
A
warm fireplace, cozy blankets, pent-up longing we both spent years ignoring…
maybe I’ll be able to unwrap Kalen's big package before Christmas morning.
But
when the snow clears and the ice melts, will the former football star and the
shy nerd finally get a happy ending?

Review:
Ok
let’s be honest, every now and then a
reader just needs a quick and naughty read to make a girl smile, whimper, and
sigh. It doesn’t matter how farfetched the story is or how crazy the characters
are, it’s just about the easy, light, and sexy words that make for a great
short story. Big Package is a story that will make you smile, even as you
groan at the silliness of the plot.
Holly has just dumped a total dickhead and is on her way to visit her
sister and her husband for the holidays, but her ex has gotten the last laugh
for sure. His final “gift” to her causes her to miss her bus and there’s no way
that she can make it time for Christmas, until by freak coincidence she runs
into her high school crush Kalen. Kalen
doesn’t realize who Holly is immediately, but once they are on the road Kalen
finds himself insanely attracted to the woman she has become. Of course a crazy sexy holiday story would
not be complete without our lovers finding themselves trapped in a snowy cabin
in the woods with nothing to do but enjoy the pleasure of one another’s
bodies. Holly was a sweet character and
I can see how she might doubt the pull between Kalen and herself, but in the
end she finds her confidence and trusts in their relationship. Kalen is a big boy, in every sense of the
word, and he has found himself unable to find his lasting love, but there is no
denying that Holly seems perfect for him.
The heat and intensity between these lovers is enough to melt the snow
of a Canadian winter and I found myself more than once reaching for a cold
drink. Even for all that this story was
just a short sexy read, there were some very emotional and intense moments
between the lovers as they went beyond simply having sex and found themselves
in a truly loving relationship that I can see being intense for a long time to
come. I enjoy all of Opal’s works, never doubting that the sensuality and
sexiness will carry the story even though they can sometimes seem a bit
unbelievable. I look forward to future
holiday reads along this line from Ms. Carew and know that I cannot resist a
well written bit of erotica.
