Summary (from chapters.indigo.ca):

Ashley Davison, a graduate student in California, desperately wants to spend the holidays with her family in Seattle. Dashiell Sutherland, a former army intelligence officer, has a job interview in Seattle and must arrive by December 23. Though frantic to book a last-minute flight out of San Francisco, both are out of luck: Every flight is full, and there’s only one rental car available. Ashley and Dash reluctantly decide to share the car, but neither anticipates the wild ride ahead.

At first they drive in silence, but forced into close quarters Ashley and Dash can’t help but open up. Not only do they find they have a lot in common, but there’s even a spark of romance in the air. Their feelings catch them off guard—never before has either been so excited about a first meeting. But the two are in for more twists and turns along the way as they rescue a lost puppy, run into petty thieves, and even get caught up in a case of mistaken identity. Though Ashley and Dash may never reach Seattle in time for Christmas, the season is still full of surprises—and their greatest wishes may yet come true.

Review:

Imagine trying to get home for the holidays only to be told that you CAN'T book a seat on the flight?! We aren't talking about 'can't' as in there aren't any more available, we are talking 'can't' as in there are RED FLAGS on your name and the government won't let you fly. However, you don't know this and have no idea what is going on so you just find alternate arrangements.

To me, I thought this was such a wonderful and unique was to kick off a novel. It was gripping in that you didn't know why or what Ashley had done to find herself on the no fly list but it was also very entertaining as she looked for alternate means of transportation. I loved the characters... Ashley and Dash were both prickly yet lovable and I thought they were written very well.

I feel like I flew through this book... must be a sign of how much I enjoyed reading it. It was a quick, fun, Christmas (season) read and I found myself smiling along many times throughout the story.
