There is a lot of lab talk in this book as the 2 MC’s are medical equipment sales people. I was going to appreciate the amount of research that had gone into this aspect alone, (not that I had verified any of the information) until I read the author bio. Now I’m just as appreciative and impressed by the ability to use their day job experiences so well.
Overall I liked this story. 2 medical sales people for rival companies who had not got on drove off into a snow storm, crashed and had to stay in a cabin for a week or so until found. I did think it was a funny time of year to be publishing a snow storm book – but I think that is because I associate this kind of stuff with winter and Christmas. I guess it’s snowy somewhere in the world right now.
I was somewhat alarmed to read that Chad shouldn’t be driving in the weather conditions (snow) at his age – as a man in his 50s! It’s not like he was in his I don’t know 70s or 80s!

I liked the fact that both of the MC’s were openly flawed characters and that they took time to warm up to each other.
I was amused by their opinion of a book read in the cabin – a man who hadn’t held a gun before shot the terrorist that 10 seasoned agents had not been able to, gone home with a woman much much hotter and cool than him, the president visited him at home to say thank you. Thankfully the MC’s thought this predictable, ridiculous but enjoyed every cheesy second of it.
I also liked the fact that although they had their moments in the cabin, they were just becoming emotionally closer during their time with a hint of the possibility of sex. Bad luck that when they finally got down to it they heard their rescuers and had to abandon it.
The story incorporated COVID and loss along with the medical technology and lab workers.

And as always, the epilogue.
No wedding, no children, just attending the conference again together, with colleagues.
