A little domestic bliss never hurt anyone…right?
Charlie Dee is headed for burnout. They’ve been burned before, both by their bio family and the now-defunct queer collective they once called home. So when they’re asked to take a work trip outside the city, they jump at the chance. Sure, it’s additional work with no additional pay, but it’s also an excuse to get out of town—and out of their own head.
That dream is shattered when Charlie opens the door to their supposedly private rental. There’s a bird on the loose, circling the living room as it’s chased by a cat, who is chased by a small child. The girl’s parents, Hayden and Buffy, only manage to add to the chaos. They promise to leave first thing in the morning, but when a massive snowstorm rolls in, this overnight trip becomes a weeklong affair.
Reluctantly charmed by this unfiltered—if forced—look at a loving, healthy family, Charlie begins to develop feelings for both Hayden and Buffy. And they both seem to be flirting back. But when a potential promotion lures Charlie back to the city, all three will have to decide where they go from here—and what it means to truly feel at home.
Read this book recently and I really enjoyed it. This is the first time I'm coming across a book with a non-binary character in a healthy polyamorous relationship. I liked getting to know how unique each character was and seeing their relationship was forming with each role that played out. You can just see the care and love forming with this unique family dynamic also just want to point out Rainbow is a trip. I look forward to seeking out more books like this with poly relationships and non binary characters, I really want to be able to check out different people and relationships. Overall I enjoyed this book takes place in wintertime so would be nice to put on your winter tbr list. Even great now as an escape from this heat.
