Loved this book. Stranded in the Snow brings us up close with Olivia and Scott who hate each other.
When a winter storm blows in and Scott and Olivia are stranded at the honeymoon cottage on her family's farm, it brings out the worst and finally the best in both of them. This was a great story with a lot of heart.
A Christmas Rescue- fantastic story about an ornery new Vet in town who refuses to allow any Holiday decorations in the office. The whole town of Silver Bells is decked out and yet, the Vet clinic has nothing. Only a testy Vet who clearly has a heart for animals but not people. The girls who work at the clinic have had enough, and he does overhear them talking about him. They decide a few days before Christmas to pull out the decorations and let the chips fall where they may. Bailey who is the front desk worker and office manager and keeps the clinic running smoothly endures the brunt of his anger when he sees the decorations. When he orders her to take them down or be fired, she refuses.
Hannah and Amber the other two clinic workers take them down, they don't want Bailey fired and clearly this whole idea backfired royally. Bailey has been struggling with her feeling about working there because he's so difficult and doesn't communicate. This was her last straw. Her resignation winds up on his desk at the end of the day. Along with a blistering snowstorm. When he's called out on an emergency she goes along and brings the pregnant dog back, only to find herself trapped in by the snow. He tries to be nice. In his own way. She's on edge. He deflects any sort of question about himself. When the storm passes after they spend the weekend together, Bailey leaves taking her personal items and leaves the key for the office. She's done. What happens after that is .. read the book. This story made me want to read the other books about the town of Silver Bells.
Love On the Edge of Reason- Pine Harbor series book 8. I loved this series of books and this is part of Tom and Chloe's story. They have an usual relationship/arrangement. When something happens to throw them off course, Tom reacts poorly, Chloe leaves, packs her apartment, quits her job and seeks refuge on the island in a cottage that has very few things. Chloe needs time and a place to think and plan. A storm had moved in and Chloe was isolated at the cottage. Tom didn't know where she was and with a little help located her and manages to get there before they're marooned during this blizzard. They have so much to work out and so many things unsaid. The struggle to find some common ground. Great story.
I'm not a big Christmas story reader, but the pull of these wonderful authors and the stories hooked me and I'm more than happy I read this one. Not to be missed.

arc from NetGalley and publisher for an honest review.

Stranded in the Snow Noelle Adams 4 stars - I really liked the story and was completely engrossed in the emotional reactions of the characters. I didn't feel a lot of sexual spark between them but definitely felt their reactions to each other

A Christmas Rescue -Samantha Chase 5 stars I loved Bailey and Gavin's story. Enemies to lovers with dogs cannot go wrong. Gavin in particular spoke to me and my heart hurt for him. Lucky for Bailey, he was able to turn things around judt as she was too!

Love on the Edge of Reason Zoe York 5 stars *sigh* Completely and utterly loved Tom and Chloe's story. Both so sure personally yet so confused of their relationship. Watching them figure things out was frustrating and yet so fulfilling once they did

Great selection of short festive reads.

All are linked in that there is a 'snowed in' situation in each book, trapping a couple together even if they don't want to be there.
