About this listen
For two former childhood friends, a blustery winter storm stirs some frosty—and scorching—memories in a delightfully sexy short story by #1 New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood.
All newly minted pediatrician Jamie Malek wants is to borrow a roasting pan for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, that requires her to interact with Marc—her best friend’s troublemaking brother, who’s now a tech billionaire. He’s the one who got away. She’s the one who broke his heart. Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.
Ali Hazelwood’s Cruel Winter with You is part of Under the Mistletoe, a collection of sexy December romances to warm the cold winter nights. They can be read or listened to in one swoony sitting.

I loved the storyline for this book, starting from the beginning of their story and moving through the years as they grew up and their relationship changed.
Jamie was firey, sweet and caring FMC. I liked her a lot but I absolutely loved Mark! I loved getting the childish boy years, the bad boy teens and then the hot as hell manly years. He really knew what he wanted and went for it.
Great storyline, loveable characters, short, sweet and spicy. Perfect Christmas read!

This was such a cute, festive little novella and exactly what I needed as a palate cleanser between longer reads. Cruel Winter With You was cozy, funny and surprisingly swoony for such a short story. Jamie and Marc’s dynamic was so much fun to read, full of sharp banter, underlying tension and that slow realisation that maybe their dislike isn’t quite what they thought it was.
I loved the snowy setting and the forced proximity element, which worked perfectly in a novella format and made everything feel warm and seasonal. Ali Hazelwood’s humour really shines here and she managed to pack a lot of chemistry and emotional payoff into very few pages. It was light, comforting and left me smiling by the end. A perfect festive romance when you want something quick, cozy and satisfying without committing to a full-length novel.
