Goodreads Link

After a tumultuous year, she gets an unexpected surprise just before Christmas…
Amelia has always tried to do everything right, having all the right friends and marrying her high school sweetheart after graduating college. But the thing with best laid plans? Sometimes they go to hell in a hand basket. Sometimes your perfect husband is gay and then your perfect friends bail.
Then Amelia does something crazy. She has a passionate night with Sebastian Wilder and then leaves while he’s still sleeping.
It's a wake up call. She needs to get her life together, and she doesn't need to complicate Sebastian’s while she does it. Even if she can't stop dreaming about their steamy night. 
But when she takes a pregnancy test and it says positive, she realizes she’s about to complicate Sebastian’s life in a big way. 
She might have wanted to pursue something with him in the future, but the pregnancy makes that impossible. They need to be friends so they can co-parent their baby, and getting between the sheets again would jeopardize that. So, she definitely won’t open that door again. Definitely not. 
But as she gets to know him, she realizes that Sebastian’s the whole package and maybe the biggest risk would be to let him get away. 
He's going to prove to her that he’s more than a one-night stand, even if he has to dress up as Santa to do it…
While trying to open the ski resort he’s dreamed of opening for years, the last thing Sebastian needed was a distraction. And Amelia is a distraction from top to bottom. 
But when she tells him about her pregnancy like she expects him run as fast as she did after their night together, he makes it his mission to prove her wrong. He isn't that kind of guy. He will be there for her and their child, even if he has to overcome every single one of her reservations.
Soon Sebastian realizes that beneath Amelia's reserved exterior is a passionate, sweet, and hilarious woman. A woman any man would be lucky to call his. And Sebastian is determined that it won't be any man. It'll be him.
And he’s got his work cut out for him between their meddlesome families and her determination to keep him in the co-parent zone, but Sebastian is hoping some holiday magic will work in his favor and he invites her to spend a week at his family’s lodge. 
Sebastian is going to show her they have something meant to last long after the Christmas lights are packed away.
Can the holiday season work its magic and help these two find true love?

My Review  5 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This is another brilliant book in the series and i really loved Amelia and Sebastian.

I have looked forward to reading Sebastians story for a while now and he really shows what a caring character he is in this book.  He also shows that has more backbone than people give him credit for.

Amelia has had bit of bad luck, but after a slightly drunken one night stand with Sebastian, her life is changed even further, although at first she is kinda scared to no only tell anyone, but find out for sure herself.  With the confirmation of her pregnancy, she goes to Sebastian and they talk it out.

Both still have feelings for each other and agree either way to co-parent their child.  Both have insecurities and although Sebastian is a little scared, he also knows what her wants and he wants Amelia and his child and will do what it takes to be the man that she both wants and needs.

We get to see more of Sebastians brothers and there partners, we also get to other supporting characters and we get a brilliant epilogue.  You are also able to download a further epilogue for a year down the line and it is certainly worth reading.

I am really enjoying this series.
