Every Shade Of Winter (Winterville Book 5) Kindle Edition
Every woman in town has a crush on North Winter. Every woman except Amber Stone, that is.
The muscled tree surgeon is her best friend. Her co-worker. Her shoulder to cry on. And everybody knows you don’t mess up a friendship with desire.
Maybe that’s why she doesn’t see him as a potential lover until she runs away from her cheating fiancé on their wedding day, and into his strong, safe arms.
For the past ten years North has been Amber’s friend and protector. But now he’s imagining himself as something more.
He may not be great at relationships – or showing his emotions, for that matter – but for her he’s willing to try.
Then Amber discovers a secret. One that will change the way North looks at her if he finds out.
He’s always been the one person she can confide in. Her safe harbor in a storm.
But now she’s afraid she could lose him for good...

About the author

Carrie Elks writes contemporary romance with a sizzling edge. Her first book, Fix You, has been translated into eight languages and made a surprise appearance on Big Brother in Brazil. Luckily for her, it wasn’t voted out. Carrie lives with her husband, two lovely children and a larger-than-life black pug called Plato. When she isn’t writing or reading, she can be found baking, drinking an occasional (!) glass of wine, or chatting on social media.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2023POSSIBLE SPOILERS—Soooo.. this book has my least favorite trope- friends to lovers and the hero is not the father in her unexpected pregnancy. These are two things that would normally make me want nothing to do with this book. But I am SO glad that I read this because this book is a beautiful story of two people who finally realize that they were always meant to be together.
I absolutely LOVED North. I know some readers didn’t like him in the previous books (you don’t have to read those to enjoy this), but he may be one of my favorite book boyfriends. The sexual tension between North and Amber was insane. It totally had me glued to this book. Once he realized that he’s always been in love with Amber, his love and devotion to her never wavered for a second—even with her being pregnant with her ex’s baby. You’d think that would be a pretty big buzz kill for their relationship, but it just made him love her even more. The sex scenes were so emotional, intense and so well written.
My only complaint about this book was that I felt Amber was a little whiny and “woe as me” about her pregnancy and situation. But I did like her, and I loved this story so much. I absolutely adored the way everything played out in the end. It made my heart happy. This kind of story is the reason why I’m addicted to romance.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2024This book is worth every star you can give it! I fell in love with North and Amber! They have everything you could ever want, a beautiful friendship that turns into the love of your life.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2023North Winter is hot enough to melt the polar ice caps. Never mind the underwear of his favorite leading lady—simply by looking at her.
He is the entire package. Sweet, sexy, warm, dirty, and protective. I loved her independence and strength.
The friends to lovers aspect of this book was well done. I enjoyed how North handled himself. How he treated Amber. The man he was every step of the way.
Another well written, entertaining story for the series.
They just keep getting better!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2023The writing was pretty good. Nothing against the book or author. My problem was with Shaun and the FMC.. and I guess the author writing about him ? Idk.. but I know this crap happens in really life but it was the most infuriating thing. It’s not that he didn’t want to be a father. It was everyone else just like, are you sure? She needs you , blah blah. The F?! No. A father is not blood. It does not matter. He was not there, did not want to be. Why was anyone not just saying “that’s fine, She’s better off and sign over your rights?” But it’s a book so I’ll let it pass 🤣 but this crap is in really life and makes zero sense to me. Overall, the book had a good plot and wasn’t horribly written, it just did sit right with me.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2023The feelings blossoming between them was hard to ignore. But would Amber pursue anything after walking away from the man she was to marry after he cheated on her. North had picked up the pieces, even when she found out she was pregnant by her ex. This is crazy but a fun ride.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2023Oh Amber and North…. I wasn’t prepared for some of the emotion this one pulled out of me but man was it good!
Spice was also 🥵
- Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2023All I can say is you buy the book you won’t regret it! The tension between the 2 is incredible! The love is real!

5.0 out of 5 stars my new favourite read
I was so looking forward to Norths story, and it is a fabulous one. He and Amber have been BFFs for so long, when she runs away from her wedding to douchebag Shaun, North is there to catch her. Neither admit their feelings for each other go further than friendship, but it’s only a matter of time. Until a spanner is thrown in the works, and then the douchebag reappears.
This is a fabulous return to Winterville, absolutely loved every word. I need another instalment now please. Maybe Norths brother returns from London and hooks up with Kelly? Cause you just know that is a story waiting to be told!
Genius writing once again from Carrie Elks

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect small town romance
This was just the story I needed! I’m a sucker for a friends to lovers romance and when you combine that with a single mum then it’s even better. Loved the whole cast of characters and will definitely be reading more in this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars happy tears
Never cried so much because I was so happy for Amber and North it really touched me.
Carrie Elks you are a wonderful writer.

5.0 out of 5 stars every shade of winter
This is the first time reading Carrie Elks, I first saw this book on TikTok, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The chemistry between North and Amber, started off with being friends.
Then she ran out of her wedding after a shocking revelation from her groom to be,. Then it’s a new beginning for both Amber and North.
A very romantic book, a bit of spice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Her future pointed to North.
North and Amber were meant to be together from the very start, everyone knew it it just took them a while longer to figure it out. She almost married someone else but luckily came to her senses last minute when she found out he wasn’t into the idea of marriage., North and Amber are best friends and it was lovely to follow their journey together in to becoming more than that and especially when he became her everything when she received life changing news. North really is a good man just as the rest of the Winter family was.
