Guest Author Sarah Morgan and Giveaway

This winter, ex-skiing champion, reformed heartbreaker and single dad Tyler O’Neil has only one mission—making sure his daughter, Jess, has the best Christmas ever. The fact that his best friend, Brenna, is also temporarily moving into his chalet at the overbooked Snow Crystal resort is a delicious distraction he’s simply going to have to ignore. Theirs is the one relationship he’s never ruined, and he’s not about to start now.

Ski pro Brenna Daniels knows all about the perils of unrequited love—she’s been in love with Tyler for years. But living with him is absolute torture… How can she concentrate on being his friend when he’s sleeping in the room next door? Then when Tyler kisses Brenna, suddenly the relationship she’s always dreamed of feels so close she could almost touch it. Could this be the Christmas her dreams of a happy-ever-after finally come true?

 

I reviewed this book earlier this morning – so cute and sexy. Sarah is stopping by to give us a little lesson in unrequited love…..

 

The Dos and Don’ts of Getting The Attention of Your Unrequited Love Interest by Sarah Morgan

“I appreciate you volunteering to take that class, but you don’t need to. I can do it. We both know you’d hate it. Why would you want to put yourself through that?”

“Because it’s you.”

Brenna’s heart pumped a little faster. Hope, that thing she kept ruthlessly suppressed, flickered to life inside her. “What’s that supposed to mean? Why would you do it for me?”

Tyler frowned, as if he thought it was a strange question. “Because I care about you. Because we’ve been friends since you could walk.”

Friends.

She felt a thud of something inside her and recognized it as disappointment.

How could she possibly be disappointed about something that had been her reality forever? She should be grateful for his friendship. It was greedy of her to want more, but still she did want more. She wanted it all. She wanted the whole fantasy.

But that was all it was ever going to be, of course.

A fantasy.

Is there anything more devastating than unrequited love? Probably not. And Brenna from Maybe This Christmas knows all about loving from afar.

She’s been in love with Tyler O’Neil her whole life. He carried her schoolbag and dragged her out of ditches. They’ve skied together, laughed together, fought, made up and talked about every topic under the sun – except one thing. Her feelings for him. Their relationship has firmly stalled in the ‘friend zone’, until a heavy snowfall brings an influx of visitors to Snow Crystal Resort and Brenna is forced to move out of her cabin and into Tyler’s spare room.

Experience has taught her a thing or two about how to get the attention of a man who sees you as his best friend.

DON’T assume that if you wait long enough he’ll eventually notice you’re a woman and not a smaller, slimmer version of one of his brothers.

DO think carefully before crossing that line from friends to lovers. Do you really want to take the risk that you might lose the friendship?

DON’T take advice from your mother.

DO lock the bedroom door before you try on your new sexy underwear.

DON’T spend the evening downing tequila shots with your friends and then decide that’s the right moment to have an honest conversation with him.

DON’T think it’s a good idea to date a good friend instead. Things get complicated fast.

DO be honest about your feelings. If you don’t, you might always regret it.

DO make use of the mistletoe hanging over the door. Especially if he put it there.

If all else fails, DO go and read Maybe This Christmas!

    Unrequited love makes for a delicious story…as long as it is not YOUR love that is unrequited. Can’t wait to read about Tyler and Brenna. Hope they get the present they both want.
