This is a great story that will keep your interest from the first page to the last. Becca and Harrison are neighbors who shared a date and a kiss a few years ago before he ghosted her. Over the last few years, they have shared some awkward encounters and then a snowstorm forces them together under one roof. The more time they spend together, the more they share their vulnerabilities with each other and truly get to know one another. The characters are complex and are beautifully written. I loved that the two of them had a past and the snowstorm gave them a second chance to realize that they are perfect together. I really enjoyed this book, it is a perfect holiday read with plenty of sweet, swoony moments and spice!

I love a good romance, and this one was wonderful! It had witty banter, and lovable characters. I was rooting for them the whole way through!

This was a cute Christmas forced proximity story, where the two main characters are trapped inside together due to a blizzard. I finished it a few days ago and it really hasn't stuck around even that long. A good time filller, but not much more than that.

I adored this christmas romance!

This book is an easy breezy, quick read, opposites attract, forced proximity, second-ish chance, lots of smiles, charming holiday read!

It’s dual POV with a charming house-mom and the grumpy coach next door.

Whether you read it in the snow or by the beach, Becca and Harrison will make the perfect addition!

What do you get when, after your first and only date, he doesn't call...even though he lives next door. Two years of avoidance, misunderstanding, and awkwardness. Thankfully, an epic blizzard arrives to solve this problem, show these two that they made for each other, and move this relationship towards its logical conclusion...romance and love. Sorority house mom, Becca, is quirky, fun, but unlucky at love. Football coach, Harrison, is grumpy, closed off, and a bit unsure of himself. Together, they've done a great job of hiding their true feelings from each other for far too long and, in turn, avoiding what we all know will be their epic love story. When Mother Nature brings them together, with the need to snuggle up by the fire to avoid freezing, the sparks begin to fly as is to be expected. But this book also had some unexpected depth. I enjoyed watching Becca help Harrison face his issues and helping him see his own strength. This was truly a fun story and, although I read it in August, I was happy to be "snowed in" with these two and to experience their happily ever after.

Becca - a quirky, colorful, dedicated to owning her vibe, sorority house mom. She’s got a penchant for hot chocolate, patterns, knitting, and reading. She DOES NOT have a penchant for the (sexy) man next door who ghosted her after their first date (like every other guy who thinks she too much). Harrison- the (sexy) man next door who ghosted Becca. College football coach, no-pictures-on-his-walls-havin, grump. With a fortress around his heart 20 ft high, fresh-ish out of a bad breakup and NO CHRISTMAS TREE. I think you get where this is going - grumpy X sunshine anyone ? Except there is in fact NO actual sunshine (besides Becca)…

A Snowpocalypse of epic proportions hits their midwestern town and a broken window and power outage ends up with Becca @ Harrison’s house before she freezes to death. They’ll just ride it out as Blizzard Buddies … and maybe create some of their own heat.

First, I don’t know who formatted this book -but the SNOWFLAKES on each chapter heading and section breaks - they deserve a raise - such a cute touch. Second, Jaqueline SNOWE?!?- obviously destined to write a snowy romance. Anyway, I really enjoyed reading this for a couple reasons. Banter & internal dialogue gets me every time- I love the back and forth externally and internally. It had a ton of romance tropes I love, a FMC who was unabashedly herself and encourages others to do the same (think: Fizzy), and a bit of spice. Lastly, while not a main focus, I LOVE a portrayal of sibling bonds and this one did not disappoint there either!

If you love: Grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, a TOUCH of sports, strong FMC working through her insecurities, building others up, and generally just being a BOSS, and banter this is for you!

This book had some sweet moments but I struggled to get into it. Such a great premise. Just not the one for me.

Thank you for the chance to read an advance copy.

As always, that you for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review!
Cute and cozy little Romance. I enjoyed the book for what it was.
What you read as the summary is exactly what you get in the book.
Definitely a sunshine/grumpy trope.
Not my exact cup of tea but I think that there are many people out there who will find this book very charming.

Becca is a house mom at sorority and helps 50 young women with moving away from home and they all love her. Though she loves her job, she is glad to be getting a two week break for Christmas when all the young women head home. A big storm is coming and she wakes up one morning with now heat and now power. Her grumpy neighbour, Harrison, checks on her and invites her to stay at his place, where he has a fireplace. She packs a bag, and heads over to his place. Even though Harrison ghosted her two years ago after a single date and amazing kiss, they agree to become "blizzard buddies" and they both start to understand each other a bit better.

I really liked the story line of Becca and her being herself and coming to terms with the fact that she doesn't need to change herself for a partner. Yes, she is quirky and a bit of a hot mess at times, but I think we all are to some degree. I liked how Harrison really fell for her because of who she was, not asking her to change and not loving her "in spite of" her quirks.

I did struggle with Harrison and his reasons for ghosting Becca two years ago. He at least owed her a phone call, or a chat that it was a him issue, not her. He eventually managed to get me over to his side when we started to see changes in him with both Becca and his football team.

These two did have some good banter and some great chemistry. You could tell they really were attracted to each other, which led to some spicy moments. Overall, this was a great read you could cozy up with a cup of hot coca with. Thank you to NetGalley and Forever Publishing for a copy of this book. All opinions are 100% mine.

Read if you like: grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, second chance

Thank you netgalley and forever for the free e-Arc in exchange for my honest review. This is back to back disappointing christmas reads and had assumed would have been a 5 star book there were some things in this book that gave me the ick and wish the editing team, super early readers because it took away from the enjoyment of this book.

I have to admit, I was sort of fully on board when I read the author's note about how she was snowed in for a week with her husband back in 2013. Once I was feeling all warm and fuzzy from that, I settled in for this delightful grumpy-sunshine romance.

Becca was quite the quirky heroine, and who love quirky characters? ->This girl!<- It wasn't just about cute quirks though, but rather that she acknowledged and embraced her quirks. You know that they say, let your freak flag fly, and I loved that Becca was unapologetically herself. She was well loved by her "girls", and that affection was well earned. Becca had a heart of gold and had kindness to spare.

I had a bit of a beef with Harrison for ghosting Becca two years ago, but he was able to win me over. Most might think of him as grumpy, but he had reasons. His ex-wife, his parents, and his brother were all sources of pain and aggravation for him. His ex was a reminder of how his marriage failed, while his brother never fails to needled Harrison about his losing record. I was happy that he was able to work through some of this over the course of the story, and I was especially excited when he finally let his inner leader shine with his team.

But, some of the best parts of this story were when Harrison and Becca was just trying to survive horrific weather conditions. The weather was definitely frightful, but at least they had each other to keep warm. Nothing like some good old-fashioned forced proximity to get the sparks flying, and it was wonderful watching these two open up and grow closer to each other.

I did say that Harrison's family was a sore spot for him, but he had an older sister who was magnificent. I had the best time celebrating Christmas with her and her brood. The kids were too cute, and it made me happy to know Harrison had someone in his corner.

Overall, I was happy to be snowed in with Becca and Harrison. I am always happy to see love get a second chance, and it's even better when the two people are so perfect for each other. I laughed a whole lot, and that stupendous epilogue left me hopped up on sunshine and rainbows.

This read for me, was a disconnection from everything else I read. It was fun, silly, and that young romance touch we miss from time to time.
So this is a read for that pure winter snowy crisp loving coldness weather, where we all bundle up type of feel. You have that cute sports aged romance here between a football guy and a soccer mom. Like all stories, this one starts off weird, silly and awkward. But it definitely builds and gives you all types of memorable feels. Enjoy.
I just reviewed Snowed In for Christmas by Jaqueline Snowe. #NetGalley

Thank you to the publishers and netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I adored this book!!! Even though it's still summer, it had me really excited for Christmas and the snow 😭 I loved Harrison and Becca's story. From their first date, to their blizzard pact, I enjoyed every second of it. Despite the fact that their story was within the span of a couple weeks, their love did not feel like instant love. Their love felt real and genuine and I really enjoyed it.

I would recommend this book to anybody looking for a cute, heartfelt, Christmassy romance novel. It was AMAZING!

Snowed in for Christmas: ★★★★☆ (4)
🌶️🌶️ (2)

Pub date: October 3, 2023 - PREORDER YOURS NOW!

I liked “The Grump”. Miss Sunshine might as well have been “Miss Airhead” or “Miss Ditzy”. I found it hard to believe this woman was in charge of a house full of university women when she was such a ditz, and not in a charming way. But then, the situations did not seem authentic nor ring true.

Thanks to Netgalley for access to this E-ARC! OMG! I loved this so much! The romance was so cute and the setting was perfect! Definitiely will read more from this author.

Grumpy sunshine and forced proximity?? Say no more. I have a weakness for Christmas romances and this one was a great Krispy Kreme read. Thanks to netgalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review!

Snowed In for Christmas was a perfect little holiday read (or if you just want a Christmas-y read even if it's nowhere near Christmas time like me). I loved the setting of the book, and their interactions were so cute to read about, but I after learning Harrison never called Becca back after their first date (for really no reason other than him being an asshole) I couldn't fully get behind their relationship. Overall, a good holiday read even if I didn't particularly care for the MMC! If you like grumpy/sunshine, one bed trope, second chance romance you will enjoy this!

I try not to DNF but I just couldn't get into this one. The chapters alternate POVs and the male lead character, Harrison, just did not ring true at all for me. It was also very predictable where things were going.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a temporary digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

Wow! This book had everything you’d want in a Rom-Com.
The main characters in the story, Becca and Harrison, are perfect in every way.

Becca is the house mom in a sorority house. She has fifty girls to help in every way possible, and they all love her. It’s right before the Christmas break and all the girls are packing to go home to their families. The craziness starts when one of the girls breaks the window in her room, trying to open it. Trying to get a tarp over it, is a job In itself, however, they got it done. When Becca starts to clean up the broken glass, she gets a piece in her arm, sees the blood dripping down her arm, and passes out. One of the girls comes in to help her and sees Becca passed out. She runs to the neighbors house, Coach Harrison Cooper, to get help. He sees that it’s not a cut that would stitches, just a bandage. Becca and Harrison went on a terrific date two years before, and they had a great time. He promised to call her and then ghosted her. She went thru a rough time afterwards, questioning herself, which did a number on her self confidence.

Harrison is the college football coach. Has issues with his family, his wife is now his ex, and is worried that he will be fired, since the team has a losing streak. After his date with Becca, he felt terrible that he never called her back.

As the storm of the century approaches Becca is confident she will fine with a few logs for the fireplace. Except when she wakes up freezing, wondering it the tarp on the window blew off. As she walks in the room and sees that the tarp held up, she can’t understand why it’s so cold. Realizing that there is no power, is a bit of a problem. Suddenly there’s banging on her front door. Harrison says that they probably won’t have any power for days. Convinces Becca to pack some clothes and go his place since he has enough wood to last a couple of weeks. At first she was hesitant, seeing that he was a jerk to her, but hey, she doesn’t want to freeze to death. This is when things get really funny and hot!

I would give this book way more than five stars! I read it twice, I enjoyed it so much.

Snowed in for Christmas is a holiday romance about a young, sunshine, sorority mom and her grumpy football coach neighbor. A few years ago they went on a date and he ghosted her. Imagine her surprise when the snowpocalypse hits and the duo have to pair up to make it through the blizzard when she loses power at the sorority house. They decide that they will be blizzard buddies and camp out at his house since it's more equipped for their circumstances. The dialogue between the two is fresh and fun, which makes the book a fast read with it's pacing. They have plenty to talk about to figure out if they can overcome their past to make room for a future together. It's magical to read about them falling in love from their point of view, even with a few roadblocks they have to overcome to be together. All in all you could snuggle up and read this book in one sitting, it's that good! Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for allowing me to preview this book.
