Sabrina originally moved to Bliss to help her sister when she was diagnosed with Cancer after their mother passed away. Thankfully her sister is now in remission and before Sabrina leaves Bliss, she is offered to become the town "School Teacher" in the new school they are establishing - which is her total dream job. Sawyer is a general grumpy grinch who doesn't like people... years ago he helped his brother leave the Horde Motorcycle club and became friends with Wyatt. So when Wyatt leaves the club (which is difficult because he was born into the club with his brother the current head) and shows up a little burnt and bruised, Sawyer welcomes him into his home like a stray puppy. One night Sawyer begrudgingly goes to a Christmas party and sees Sabrina and instantly feels "feelings", so he does what any logical person would do... HE NOPES OUT. A few months later, Sabrina annoyed with her landlord ignoring her maintenance requests, decides to take matters into her own hands and show up on his doorstep, on the day of a freak snowstorm. So she ends up snowed in Sawyer and Wyatt. And what else is there to do with two sexy ex-MC boys in a cabin...

So imagine a why-choose story with a sexy school teacher and two sexy men, snowed in in a cabin... well this book is going to give you EXACTLY the story you just played in your mind.
Sabrina is our school teacher who has a secret kinky side and is also pretty feisty because she's willing to be brave and stand up to anybody when she wants something, feisty and generally unexpected. She's not the "sweet, innocent" expectation of what you'd think a school teacher is and I loved the fact that she was so willing to fight for the two men.
Wyatt is a little gooey cinnamon roll who is so happy on the surface but broken underneath. He carries a lot of trauma from his childhood and time in the MC, but he wears positivity with a smile. He really cares about not being an inconvenience to anyone and has a heart of gold that just makes you smile. I mentioned before he is basically a lost puppy and that's exactly the vibes you feel from him... It's also super endearing that he is lowkey highkey obsessed with Sabrina in that sweetly stalker way.
Sawyer is the total grumpy outcast and believes everybody hates him or doesn't like him when underhandedly the entire town respects him, adores him and doesn't hold his past against him. It was sweet to see him realize that he actually had friends and a "found" family and that he makes this realisation as he gets closer to Scarlet.
My one issue with this is this was the first book I have read in the series and while it technically can be read as a standalone, there are so many characters. I had no idea who was who and initially what was going on or how they all fit together. I needed a spider diagram or chart of the characters in the beginning, mapping their books and partners, especially since the entire town's relationships seem to be nothing but throuples. So not only do you have to deal with two characters, you need to deal with 3 in every relationship. tIt was just a lot to wrap my head around who all these characters were and how they fit into this crazy town where it felt like and episode of Cheers as everybody knows everybody's name, business and everybody looks out for each other.

Basically, this has action, this has drama, this has romance and it has steam. It does err on the side of Instalove as they say I love you VERY FAST and fall together VERY FAST... but if you want that quick, easy read with the tropes mentioned above then this is going to give you exactly what you want!!!
