Trevor and Marcus are trapped in the same hotel by a blizzard at Christmas, and Trevor is unable to secure a room for himself, so Marcus offers to share. It sounds like the cheesiest romance novel ever, but it's different. For starters, they aren't forced into close proximity just because of the weather. Other stranded people are camping out in the hotel lobby, sleeping on chairs, etc. They are by no means alone, and Marcus doesn't have to offer his room to Trevor. He does so because he finds Trevor attractive, and after sharing dinner and conversation, the men decide to put the bedroom to good use (wink wink, nudge nudge, know what I mean).

Trevor doesn't want more than just a one night stand. Well, he does, but he's dying of kidney failure and after years on the transplant list, he has given up hope. He won't start a relationship under those circumstances. Marcus pushes though, and it turns out that Trevor is just what Marcus needed to teach him to stop and smell the metaphorical flowers. There's still the little issue of Trevor dying of kidney failure though...

Yes, the plot is a bit predictable, but the author does their best to keep you guessing. All in all, a touching read.
