I’m obsessed with Christmas romcoms. This was a cosy read and hands down a comfort read. The fmc was relatable and funny.

This was super fun! I loved the grumpy/sunshine dynamic, which was really amped up the holiday setting. This is spicy and swoony and full of fun banter. Readers of holiday romance will be sure to enjoy.

Let me just start off by saying I am an absolute sucker for anything Christmas and wintery so this book already had the upper hand in my heart and then it happened to be a next-door-neighbour roamnce?! This book was such a cozy read and perfect for those upcoming snowy days. I cannot wait to read more from this author in the future.

Cute romcom with the very classic Grumpy x Sunshine trope, all set in the backdrop of a blizzard. Snowed in stars Becca and Harrison who have a previous not-too-good history and their lives 2 years after. Even though Becca got sometimes twee to annoying, I did find myself liking her by the end and wanting her to have her HEA. I enjoyed their chemistry and banter. The book is cozy and low-angst and I appreciated that 'Christmas' was actually not a main character at all despite being in the title.

Thank you to NetGalley and Forever Publishing for the ARC

Snowed in for Christmas was a fun read. Becca and Harrison team up to get through Snowpocalypse. Can't be hard, right? It's awkward AF. They once went on date and then Harrison ghosted Becca. Ugh. Her colorful, sunshine-y disposition made him think she was high maintenance. Ummm, what? I would think quite the opposite. She hardly matched on a good day. But being snowed in together gives them the opportunity to clear the air, to get to know one another and help each other work through some tough things. I loved the way family, both related and found, played a huge role in both the characters. Becca's meddling mother, Harrison's relationship with his sister Blair. Harrison's contentious relationship with his brother Hank. Becca's loving relationship with her sorority girls. Harrison's disconnect with his football team. Great read to get you into the holiday spirit without the snowdrifts!

I received an advance copy of this book at my request and voluntarily left this review.

This is a hard one to review. There was nothing wrong with the writing and I did enjoy the story. But something just didn't click with me and I'm not entirely sure what it was. I liked Becca and grumpy/sunshine is a favorite trope of mine. Maybe it was their history? Bummed this wasn't a winner for me because it was a really cute premise.

This book is told from multiple points of view. I enjoy a romance where we can get the perspective of the female and male characters.

Harrison really comes out of his shell with all of Becca’s questions. Her quirkiness makes him connect and relate to her.

The main characters both have family issues that are relatable. Both are strongly independent but at the same time like to help others.

If you like grumpy sunshine, forced proximity and a tad of miscommunication - this book is for you. There is a good amount of steam as well.

Overall a fun and festive read for the holiday season.

Snowed In For Christmas was a super cute and breezy read, perfect for the holiday season! I finished this book in a day because it was so fun and I couldn’t bring myself to put it down! If you are looking for a super cute and heartwarming holiday book, this one is for you!

Becca is a sorority mom, meaning she lives in a sorority house and oversees all of the operations and the residents. With the winter break approaching, Becca plans to spend time in the house by herself, relaxing and reading. The only problem: there is a major blizzard approaching, with record low temperatures. Enter her grumpy neighbor, Harrison, the head coach of the football team and the man she shared a steamy kiss with after a date two years ago who then ghosted her. When the power goes out, Harrison insists that Becca come stay with him where he has firewood and plenty of food.

I loved how family dynamics played a role in the entire plot, and felt like it added to the entire story. Overall, this is one I would recommend you check out if you are looking for a great holiday romance!

Thank you, Forever and Jaqueline Snowe for providing me with a #gifted copy of Snowed In For Christmas!

So I drug my feet starting this book because I am very much in the Halloween spirit and not quite ready for Christmas vibes yet but once I sat down to start it, I flew through it in two sittings! This is definitely one you should add to your December tbr if you enjoy:

❄️ Enemies to lovers
❄️ Grumpy x sunshine vibes
❄️ Second Chance Romance
❄️ Forced proximity

This book was very sweet and had some well written spice! I really enjoyed the banter and how easy of a read this romcom was! My only complaint was how over the top quirky our FMC was. It felt a little like Jess from New Girl and that stereotype really drives me crazy.

Other than that this was a fun snowed in romance with low stakes and good development! A great first Christmas read of the season!

⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

Thank you NetGalley for granting me access to a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. It was sweet and gave me the nostalgia for Christmas that I crave as soon as October hits. The last three months of the year are so much better when you're dreaming about Christmas trees. I feel like I do that all year, and here's the proof.

Christmas movies have always been such a weakness of mine. I'll watch them anywhere, anytime, no matter what the world looks like outside. I've lost a bit of that as I've gotten older, found it more difficult to stay in the magic of the holiday, so picking up Christmas stories has become a hobby of mine as well. When I got accepted for this arc, I was overjoyed. Mostly because I hadn't found the right one yet.

In this one, I absolutely did. It's light hearted and steamy... even if it's getting colder outside with every passing day (thank goodness). There's forced proximity, a very cold world outside, and a misunderstanding that changes a life that could have started two years ago. It's sweet, it's funny, it's absolutely everything I wanted.

I think what I liked best is that just because Becca is a stereotypical happy-go-lucky girl, it didn't mean she couldn't be a smart, capable, woman as well. It made me think of my favorite person in the world, and best friend. It's always so lucky when you find a friend in a book.

I can't wait for you all to read this!

The absolute knockout for this book was the spice. It was probably Jaqueline’s steamiest book and the spice was done incredibly well! This book was fast-paced and an enjoyable holiday story.

Becca is a sorority house mom who’s in the house alone before heading off for her holiday plans. Harrison is the college football coach who’s not preparing for a playoff game so he’s home for the first time in a few years. When the blizzard of the century comes through, Becca and Harrison are forced to stay together— and confront the fact that he ghosted her after their date.

I struggled a bit with liking the main characters. I did NOT hate them but even by the end I didn’t find myself attached to either of them. I also struggled with the chemistry. It felt forced at times, and unnatural.

I also wish there was a bit more holiday. It’s a winter story that takes place right before Christmas, but I think they could’ve done some makeshift holiday celebrating during the blizzard that could’ve established chemistry.

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Becca and Harrison are pure sunshine x pure grump, however, Harrison is also a cinnamon roll under his grumpy layers. I loved every minute that I spent reading their story.

This is their second chance romance that is brought on by a freak blizzard int he Midwest that has them blizzard buddies - finding ways to keep warm when they are bunked at Harrison’s house & without power.

I loved that both characters were complex and working through their own personal issues and growth - but also supporting the other on their growth.

I wasn’t happy about the miscommunication that was thrown in but I really appreciated how it was handled and the certain things that came into consideration that caused the miscommunication. It didn’t feel like miscommunication from the characters but outside sources that led to it.

Overall, I really liked this book and I would definitely add it to my recommend list for those that are looking for cozy winter books - even with Christmas in the title, it didn’t feel Christmas centric, but more so happened at that time of the year.

Thank you to NetGalley & Forever for the E-ARC and thank you to Forever for the finished copy in exchange for my honest review.

A really fun, quick read! It’s more “forced proximity because of a blizzard” than straight up Christmas novel, but there’s enough Christmassy details to tie in the holiday. Harrison and Becca are the quintessential opposites attract, and it was fun watching this stoic, grumpy man fall for human sunshine.

A major plot point is that they went on a date two years earlier and he ghosted her when he said he would call. I understood his hesitance to be in a relationship (the MMC who’s not looking for commitment right now is a trope for a reason!) but their history just nagged at me. The scene where he finally explains and she gets over it felt too easy? That’s two years of resentment, and I guess I thought he should have to try a little harder to win her over

This book was incredibly atmospheric. It was sunny and 75 as I was reading but I kept looking outside expecting to see a blizzard in full swing. I found the story and couple to have a cozy and sweet arc. The miscommunication trope lingered throughout which is not my favorite. However, this book is completely swoon worthy and a lovely lighthearted Christmas read. I recommend you make a cup of hot cocoa and turn on the fire for this read.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy. I hate to give bad reviews, but this book was very much not good. It is billed as a Christmas romance, but there were almost zero holiday scenes. The main characters were both annoying and the dialogue was equal parts cheesy and painful. I can’t recommend this to anyone.

Snowed In for Christmas by Jaqueline Snowe is such a fun and fantastic holiday romance.
I love forced proximity trope with grumpy/sunshine love interests.
This steamy romance hit all the right notes for me.

I love a good stuck in a blizzard with no power trope (okay maybe not a trope but should be)!

Becca is sunshine and Harrison is the definite grumpy football coach who lives next door.
Becca ends up under his roof during the storm. I think this is really a second chance romance as the two had a perfect date two years ago before he ghosted her.

Becca is a sorority house mother and I loved this and how much she loved her girls.

I loved the chemistry. This was such a fun holiday romance that I really enjoyed.

Getting snowed in with a guy who ghosted you two years ago?? What a fun plot! We have dual POVs from our quirky and unapologetic MFC and the grumpy and quiet MMC which I think was extremely important to how we felt about the characters. I personally loved that the plot was happening during the holidays but was a subplot in comparison to the blizzard and trying to survive the intense conditions! Also, the "blizzard buddy" component is equivalent to friends with benefits, which makes it easy to understand our character's misunderstanding that feelings could be at play too. With that, the spice was phenomenal (I was hoping for it and was thrilled with it). Lastly, our main character's devotion to their careers and the college students they support was very heart warming. My only complaint would be the insta-love that happened at the end. The reasoning made sense but it just not my favorite. The epilogue was very sweet though! Overall, I'm giving this book 4 stars and will be recommending for the holiday season!

Snowed in for Christmas sounded like just the book I was looking for to give me holiday vibes and great characters but sadly for me it did not have anything that would make me want to read this book again. I did not feel any connection between Becca and Harrison at all. I would read for awhile then go back to the book hoping the chemistry was finally there for me between them. This was the dullest holiday romance book I have read in long time.
Thank you NetGalley, Jaqueline Snowe and Forever for the ARC of Snowed In for Christmas. This is my personal review

Thank you to Forever Paperback & NetGalley for an ARC of this book, in exchange for my honest opinion.

A story about the college Football coach, and a Sorority House Mom… say no more because I am invested!!!

I loved this story so much!! This was one of the best Grump next door meets Sunshine tropes I’ve ever read. And the spice was soooo good, with a perfect epilogue!

Harrison and Becca had a date two years ago, and shared an amazing kiss, but that was it. Because afterwards as Becca looked forward to hearing back from Harrison, he just ghosted her. And it definitely didn’t help that the football coach lived right next door to the Sorority House Becca lived in.

But when a massive and dangerous blizzard blows in during Winter break, the two end up hunkering down together. Rather than stay alone in the sorority house without power or fire, Becca stays next door with Harrison. It would be putting it lightly to say that sparks were flying in both the bedroom, and the fireplace. Becca and Harrison spend several blissful days together during the blizzard, but when the roads clear, the snow stops, and the power comes back on what will happen between them? Will Harrison ghost her again? Or was this simply a convenient hookup to pass the time during the blizzard?

Wow, this was like walking in a modern day Hallmark movie! I loved that the story was set up on a college campus, but Maggie and Becca weren't students but "faculty" almost. This was second chance romance with a forced proximity due to a winter blizzard. This was such a fun and heartwarming novel. I loved that Harrison accepted Becca and her full personality.

Becca is the sorority house mother. For those unfamiliar, she is the "adult" of the house making sure the girls in the sorority are following the rules and keeping the house in tip top shape. Her grumpy neighbor next door is the university's head football coach, Harrison. Becca and Harrison have had chemistry from day one, but after one date and one passionate kiss - Harrison ghosted her and avoided her at all cost. Mind you, they're neighbors, so that's a little bit to accomplish.

When the power goes out due to a blizzard and the two join forces to survive the power outage and winter weather, they become Blizzard Buddies and release all the tension that has built up between them in the last few years. As the storm rages on, feelings begin. to grow. Will Harrison and Becca admit that they may be more than Blizzard Buddies when the snow settles.
