Synopsis
Sam, Kevin and Stan are finally forced to face their demons by returning home for George's wedding, the only person that believed in them when not even they believed in themselves, the only person that never gave up. But their plans complicate when a storm heads their way cancelling their planes, bus routes and most of the roads. 
The wish to make it to George's wedding is strong, but when they are faced with the only two options they have, they have to take a moment to think, miss George's wedding or get into the bus with the Santa Brigade, a group of elders from snow(rest of the name of the place) and Bad-ass Betty.
Each one comes to terms with getting themselves into the bus, Sam with little to no coercing when he finds out that Reba, his old flame and the one that got away is the director of the Santa Brigade. Stan forces himself into the bus so that he can stay close to the beautiful and mysterious Dana who is as cold as ice to him, and Stan can't wait to see if he can melt her icy exterior and discover what is underneath. And Kevin who needs the ride to get Callie into the nearest sheriffs department so that he can get his bounty, but things may turn difficult when his sense of justice and maybe something else are put to the test with the little firecracker that Callie turns out to be. 

Review
This is narrated by six points of view, we get to hear from Sam, Reba, Kevin, Callie, Stan and Dana; which adds flavor to the story and the chemistry between the couples is amazing.
The story is cute and interesting, and it speaks about helping others which I love that people are pushing this idea for the holidays, because ideas make actions and actions can really change the world.
The problem is that there is explicit sex in this story and I believe that kills part of this really good story, part of the chemistry between the couples is gone and the ending seemed kinda abrupt. The message that the authors are trying to convey is not lost but the fun kinda is when you are not ready for the book to take that kind of turn.
I am also to blame here because I didn't researched the authors before hand, lesson learned, even If the tittle, the cover and the plot seem innocent enough its always good to double and triple check.
Warning: this story has explicit sex scenes.
