Baby It's Cold Outside / Addison Fox / 374 pages / R. T. Reviewer's Choice Award

Sloan McKinley is exasperated, to say the least, at her mother's matchmaking.  Her attempts are brutal failures and her disappointment in her 30-something, unmarried daughter is palpable.  When Grier, Sloan's college roommate and best friend, texts her from Alaska with her difficulties in the small town of Indigo, Alaska, Sloan immediately rushes to her aid.  As a freelance writer, Sloan decides to write a series of articles on the local Great Bachelor Competition.  What happens is fun, romantic (with some rather explicit sex), and fantastic friendship.  This is part of series.
