Anne Snow planned to ring in the 1988 New Year wearing pajamas and watching Unsolved Mysteries. Instead, she’s been guilt tripped by her friends into a cabin getaway slash cross-country skiing fiasco. No sooner than she arrives, Anne realizes it’s not a fiasco but a nightmare.
Harrison Eden, the guy she’s managed to avoid since their break up in high school, greets her at the door. Unfortunately, in the past six years, he’s only gotten more handsome. And apparently, he still loves to push every one of her buttons.
Anne’s plan is to avoid him at all costs. Except then she learns that her friends invited too many people. There aren’t enough beds for everyone to have their own. And guess who volunteered himself to be her New Year’s roommate?

Review: The Edens - A Legacy Short Story is a (very short) novella that offers a glimpse into the backstory of Anne and Harrison, the parents of the main characters in The Edens series. It is a (way too) quick read that fans of the series will obviously enjoy (honestly, I would not advise you to read as a standalone).
The story is set six years after Anne and Harrison's high school breakup. Anne returns home during a college break and finds herself at a cabin weekend with friends, only to discover Harrison has also been invited. With limited beds at the cabin, Anne and Harrison are forced into close quarters, and the lingering spark between them becomes evident. Harrison, still unaware of why Anne ended their relationship, is determined to get answers and rekindle their connection.

While I loved most of the dialogue between Anne and Harrison, and also their chemistry, the whole thing felt forced, too predictable, and lacking depth - even for such a short story. So this is a book I would recommend only if you've read and liked at least some of the other books in the series.
Happy readings!
