“What are your plans for the holiday?”
Winter blinked several times at the question, pulling him from his musings. It wasn’t the actual inquiry or the heavy Russian accent that jarred him. It was the person who spoke. Ivan Kuznetsov came to Silver Taproom every single day at exactly five thirty and ordered a vodka on the rocks. He always waited for Winter to be the bartender who served him. In fact, no one else bothered asking him what he wanted any longer. Every day, Ivan ordered the same drink. Just the one. It was an eight-dollar drink. Each day, he handed Winter a hundred-dollar him from his musings. It wasn’t the actual inquiry or the heavy Russian accent that jarred him. It was the person who spoke. Ivan Kuznetsov came to Silver Taproom every single day at exactly five thirty and ordered a vodka on the rocks. He always waited for Winter to be the bartender who served him. In fact, no one else bothered asking him what he wanted any longer. Every day, Ivan ordered the same drink. Just the one. It was an eight-dollar drink. Each day, he handed Winter a hundred-dollar bill and told Winter to keep the change. Unbeknownst to Ivan, he single-handedly paid Winter’s rent each month. Ivan didn’t know this fact because the guy never spoke. Winter only knew his name because everyone did. Ivan owned the law office across the street. Having Ivan speak to him now caught Winter off guard and made him slow to respond.
“I don’t have any plans.”
Ivan’s mouth lifted in one corner. He was a cold-looking man. Ivan kept his head shaved bald and his eyes were the color of the sky on a chilly winter’s day. There was something about his severe jaw line combined with his meticulous suit. Ivan looked like a man who owned some whips. Winter fought a smile at the thought. Ivan made his stomach quiver, and that was why Winter never ventured far from the man’s spot at the bar when he was there. Winter had been waiting for this moment. The moment when Ivan finally noticed him.

Je m'étonne moi même de ne pas terminer un aussi court livre mais ça ne me plaît pas du tout. Ce livre n'a aucun sens et aucune profondeur. Les personnages ne sont pas développés.
Ils ne se connaissent pas et Winter accepte de suivre Ivan dans une cabine au milieu de nulle part. Et il accepte de l'argent de sa part sous prétexte que ça lui permettra de rester plus longtemps dans la cabine et que ça compensera le fait qu'il ne travaillera pas pendant ce temps... (Y avait-il besoin d'une si grosse somme ? La façon dont ça se fait est assez étrange et inconfortable.)
Aussi, on ne connait rien des personnages et je n'arrive pas du tout à m'y attacher. Je ne vois également aucune alchimie entre Ivan et Winter. Et le récit est d'une platitude...
Pas un livre pour moi !

Résumé
Everyone knows the holidays suck for single people. One trip to Aspen with Winter, and Ivan knows they won’t be spending another year alone.
Even though Ivan has a high-paying job, that doesn’t mean he has any desire to be anyone’s sugar daddy. He’s seen men his age go through their mid-life crisis with gold diggers and doesn’t want to be that guy. Unfortunately, there’s one thing worse than being used for his money—being alone during the holidays. He’s about to strike a deal to end that horrible tradition.
Winter only knows Ivan as the surly Russian who gets a single drink at his bar each night and always leaves a huge tip. The last thing he expects is Ivan’s sudden offer for a trip to Aspen. A moment of pure insanity mixed with the holiday blues has him accepting. He has no idea how to act or what to expect. There’s no way he could prepare for the storm known as Ivan that upturns his life.
A Sugar Daddy for Winter is a short standalone story loosely connected to Charity Parkerson’s Sugar Daddies series. While there is no need to have read any of the series to enjoy this book, if you’re interested, Sugar Daddies is a contemporary romance, age-gap series where the men are hot, rich, and don’t like to be told no.
