Icing on the Lake by Catherine Clark

When Kirsten's sister Gretchen breaks her leg skiing, Kirsten agrees to move in with Gretchen to help her around the house and help care for Gretchen's three-year-old son Brett. Kirsten is determined to be more outgoing and assertive with guys in the Twin Cities and find herself a date for Groundhog Getaway (a weekend trip with her group of friends and their boyfriends). Kirsten meets the Benson brothers at the ice skating rink and soon begin running into them all over the place. Sean is good looking, outgoing, and nice while Conor is mean and doesn't seem to like Kirsten much. Could one of them be her date for Groundhog Getaway?

Cute winter romance- perfect for blizzard weekend reading! Reader's familiar with the Minneapolis/St. Paul area will enjoy the setting, especially since they will be familiar with things such as the Winter Carnival and the ice sculptures. Even readers who don't know the Twin Cities area will enjoy this winter romance- where skating, sledding, and skiing are preferred activities. Characters are realistic- the sibling rivalry between Conor and Sean is honest and Kirsten's attraction to both boys rings true. Kirsten's voice is full of angst and humor. In the fashion of romance novels, the story wraps up nice (and almost too) clean at the end where everyone lives happily ever after. The raciest the novel gets is a few kisses (mentioned not described) and the fact that the girls will be spending a weekend getaway with their boyfriends. The novel is perfect for girls looking for a clean, sweet romance or who enjoy winter activities.
