There are worse things than being stranded in a blizzard.

Artist Trevor Morrison has always appreciated the little things in life, treating each day as a gift. And with good reason: he's been on the transplant-recipient list for too long now. When he learns just how numbered his days truly are, he resolves not to take them for granted. But he won't be unrealistic, either — which means romantic commitments are off the table.

Marcus Roberts seems to have it all. He's handsome, financially sound, and on the fast track to partnership at a prestigious law firm. In reality, though, his drive for success has meant no time for friends or relationships. Add in the fact that his family discarded him long ago, and he's facing yet another holiday season alone.

When the biggest snowstorm to hit Colorado in decades leaves Marc and Trevor stranded at the same hotel, a chance encounter and a night of passion leads to more than either of them expected. Finding comfort in each other is a welcome surprise, but time is not on their side. Either they find a way to beat the odds, or they lose each other forever.

      In this heartfelt short novel, two men find unexpected love when a blizzard brings them together. Trevor Morrison is an artist enduring the final stages of kidney disease; without a transplant, his remaining lifespan can be measured in months. When a snowstorm forces him to seek shelter in a hotel, he meets Marcus Roberts, a workaholic lawyer with no time for relationships or relaxation. The two agree to share a room, and a bed. Once the storm blows over, they must return to a reality in which Trevor feels he can’t make any long-term commitments. As Marcus tries to change his new lover’s mind—and his looming fate—it may take a Christmas miracle to bring about a happy ending. Chase (Riding with Heaven) presents a charming, emotionally rich story spiced up by frequent erotic encounters, with a satisfying, natural relationship between the leads. However, the resolution feels rushed.

      When a blizzard strands artist Trevor Morrison and attorney Marcus Roberts in the same hotel, they discover an unexpected bond. But Trevor is struggling with end-stage kidney disease, and with little hope of an organ match, he knows their days together are numbered. Then Marc takes matters into his own hands and changes the odds dramatically. VERDICT A "fortunate blizzard" brings a pair of lonely men together in this sexually explicit but emotionally sweet romance that might even dampen a hanky or two. The Colorado Award-winning Chase (Riding with Heaven) lives in the Canadian West.

      Some enchanted evening, you may meet a stranger across a crowded room, perhaps a snowed-in Colorado hotel dining room with stranded travelers trying to reach Christmas destinations. Marcus, whose family long ago disowned him, is an attorney, married to his work and the goal of making partner. While undergoing dialysis, artist Trevor makes the most of each day as chances for a new kidney dim. Marcus has the last available room in the hotel, while Trevor is facing an uneasy night in a lobby chair. No problem, especially with their mutual magnetic attraction, complemented by several hours of good conversation over dinner. After a night of hot sex, graphically depicted by two-time Lambda Literary Award finalist Chase (Riding with Heaven, 2015), the airport is still closed, so Marcus takes Trevor to his lavish home, where they create a Christmas-Eve atmosphere and fall in love. But Marcus deserves more than Trevor's limited time, so selfless Trevor must leave. Seriously? Deeply romantic gay love, tenderly and passionately depicted.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
