Loved this book so much! The plot, the characters, all of it. With Christmas and winter right around the corner I will definitely be adding g this to my list to recommend to others

This lighthearted romance is perfect for the holiday season. Becca, a goofy and colorful girl, finds herself under the same roof as Harrison, a grumpy football coach who ghosted her two years ago. Despite her insecurities, Becca remains true to herself and works as a sorority house mother. However, the blizzard-buddy fling and language make the story feel forced and surface-level. The potential for emotional depth is missed, with multiple open-door scenes and explicit details.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for this advanced copy for an honest review.

This had many tropes I love! I love holiday romances where the MCs are snowed in, and I also love a good grumpy curmudgeon. The characters were well developed and the plot was super engaging. Loved!

This holiday romance novel is a cozy, heartwarming tale that perfectly captures the spirit of the season. Set against a backdrop of festive decorations and winter wonder, the story follows two characters who find themselves thrown together in unexpected circumstances. Their initial differences spark tension, but as they navigate holiday traditions and shared experiences, a charming romance begins to bloom.

This was such a cute winter time read!
Becca and Harrison had one amazing date and then he never called. Two years later, a blizzard gives them a shot for a second chance.
I loved that Becca learned to love and accept herself quirks and all. She’s comfortable in herself, but has let other people’s opinions way her down. And poor Harrison, divorced and dealing with family issues. He was definitely a grump. But I liked how he listened and valued Becca. His growth was great and he went from grump to total sweetheart.
I enjoyed the college campus type setting but the characters weren’t students. The side characters added to the story. This was a fun book and great for anyone wanting some spicy winter vibes.

I got about half-way through the book and stopped, I just couldn't get into it! I did like the female main character, but the book just wasn't for me, unfortunately.

Snowed In for Christmas by Jaqueline Snowe is a standalone holiday romance that made me swoon. I absolutely loved it. I laughed and felt so good reading this. I think this will be gifted to my friends this year so they can have some feel good time too.

That’s not to say there isn’t depth to this book because there is. The story is fantastic and the characters are so relatable. I loved it!

This happened to be my final book for Christmas in July 2024 and I couldn’t have found a better book to end the month with. (I may have to revisit it for Christmas 2024 too!)

If you love Hallmark Christmas movies, you should totally read this one! If you happen to be Hallmark Christmas….please make this a movie!!!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Thank you to NetGalley & Forever Publishing for the eARC.

I’m typically a big fan of grumpy/sunshine & second chance romance but unfortunately I didn’t love the way it was done in this book. Becca is so sunshiney that at times it comes across a little too over the top & cringey to be lovable. I had trouble buying into the love story between Becca & Harrison & the connection they had years ago. Harrison’s reasons for not calling Becca just didn’t make sense to me. It seemed overly dramatic & hard to believe. There were cute moments but overall it just didn’t work for me.

Snowed in for Christmas by Jaqueline Snowe had well-developed characters and a plot that was engaging. This book was a great read. I highly recommend!

This was a fun grumpy/sunshine, snowed in romance!

Becca was a sweet heroine who is tired of people telling her she's too much or too different. She also hates running into her neighbor Harrison who ghosted her after a date a couple of years ago. When a huge snowstorm forces them to stay together they realize there's a real connection between them.

The story moved at a good pace and I thought they both had nice character growth as well. They each had issues with their family that informed their views on relationships, and I liked how they both faced those issues as their relationship grew.

This was a nice read and I'm so glad I finally picked it up!

I felt like this one had a lot of potential, but unfortunately, it just wasn't for me. It took me a long time to figure out how to review this one. I wanted more for the story. The misunderstanding/miscommunication was just a little too much.

When Becca Fairfield and Harrison Cooper find themselves stranded together during a major snowstorm, the story shines through their evolving relationship. Initially, their bond starts with a memorable kiss and some tension, but as they face the storm together, their connection deepens in surprising ways. Becca's initial doubts about Harrison's commitment give way to moments of genuine intimacy, revealing the complexities of both characters.

The chemistry between them is well-crafted, with each interaction adding depth to their relationship. The setting—a snowy backdrop and a cozy shelter—adds to the charm of their developing romance. Though the plot follows familiar romantic tropes, the heartfelt and believable growth of Becca and Harrison's relationship makes the journey worthwhile. Their shared experiences during the blizzard lead to a satisfying and endearing holiday romance, making it a perfect read for the season.

This was a cute one for the holidays (or Christmas in July in my case 🤣)

I loved all the bookish talk and mentions of specific books. Becca was true to herself and her hobbies which I could relate to!

Loved the idea of being stuck in the house together. Forced proximity to the max!

Their connection was a bit weird though and a tad superficial.

It was still a quick,fun holiday read! Thank you Netgalley for the gifted copy in exchange for my honest review!

I was waffling between 4 and 5 stars, so giving it a 4.5 and rounding up to 5 here! Perfect Christmas in July book!

Thank you so much to Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for the ARC of this one via NetGalley. These are my honest thoughts!

I'm going to be honest with you... I read chapter 1 of this book last winter before Christmas, and it was just not the right time for me. However, I picked this up on a nearly 100-degree day in July, and it was perfect! There's just something about the Christmas spirit in the middle of summer...

Okay so this is a second chance romance between neighbors who went on one single date. They both thought it went so well, Becca began getting hopeful and Harrison began getting scared and ghosting her.

However, these neighbors are forced to spend time together when the power goes out during a crazy winter storm right when the Christmas break starts at the college they both work for. The forced proximity makes these two confront what happened between them. It opens Becca's eyes to Harrison's quieter and more reserved side. And it makes Harrison regret missing two years with this lady he finds unique, fascinating, and enjoyable. They're nearly polar opposites, but that works for them. And I will say, this book ended up being wayyyy spicier than I thought it was going to be! Here for it! :)

The miscommunication/avoidance of tough conversations near the 3rd act will bug people who hate the miscommunication/avoidance of tough conversation trope, but in this case, it's pretty on par for what you went through to get to the 3rd act, so no one should be surprised. While she fell first the first time, he definitely fell first the second time, and that sweetly comes to life by the end, making it worth it!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.

If there’s one thing about me it’s that I’m going to read and love Christmas rom coms every holiday season! This one still managed to delight and surprise me even though I’ve read a lot of these kinds of stories. That just speaks to the talent of the author.

I received this book for free for an honest review from netgalley. Thank you for the opportunity



One of my favorite tropes! So cute.

This book was fun. Its dual pov. It's a friends with benefits trope. It follows a sorority mom, and the football coach who end up in a storm without electricity together. The only thing is they had went out before and he ghosted her. So now they're stuck together through this winter storm.

I love everything that Jaqueline Snowe writes and my goodness was this exactly what I've come to love about her work!

A cute funny read of two people rekindling their romance. Skimmed over the 20 page long sex scenes …they’re senseless to me…to read the funny parts.
