Harrison is the grumpy football coach and Becca is the sorority mom next door, who is literally sunshine and rainbows. They went on one date and have been avoiding each other ever since… ever since Harrison ghosted her. Now, two years later and still neighbors, the college kids have all left for holiday break leaving Harrison and Becca alone to survive a brutal, one in a lifetime Illinois blizzard. Becca is forced to decide between burning the wooden table and chairs to stay warm in the sorority house or take her hunky neighbor up on his offer to hunker down and ride out the storm. Who doesn’t love a cup of hot chocolate and a warm man to snuggle up to on cold winter nights?
This Grumpy/Sunshine, Neighbors trope gave me all the feels. It was funny, quirky, and had me smiling with all the “Fun Facts” Becca knew. One thing I really enjoyed about this book was how Becca was unapologetically herself and even though she had insecurities she didn’t become annoying or whiny about them. Becca is relatable in the sense that sometimes women are “too much”. They talk too much, they are too loud, they are too vibrant and it was a breath of fresh air to see that she held true to her eclectic self throughout the whole book and Harrison didn’t try to dull her sparkle. Harrison is that hot coach/ neighbor all of us are oolging at football games or when he’s mowing his yard. Of course, Harrison had his fair share of insecurities, internal and family struggles but he needed a shift or refocus in his life and Becca brought the light to his dark, which was something he desperately needed. Being in close proximity with no power and not a lot entertainment, gave them a chance to talk and workout some of their own personal struggles. Becca put perspective on a lot of things for Harrison which helped him workout some of the turmoil he was having in his life with his career and family and they both found the courage and confidence to stand up to both of their families.
Some other characters I would have liked to see interact more in the book would be Blair’s family. The kids were cute and loved Uncle Harry so much and you could tell he adored them too. I would have liked to see Blair and Becca have more time together and then them spending time together during the holiday festivities. I loved Blair’s to the point, personality, and the way she has her brothers back.
The way Jacqueline Snowe describes the blizzard with the whipping winds, the white out snow and the cold that would make a penguin seek a tropical island had me feeling like I was chilled to the bone. This book helped me beat the dog days of summer with the chill of the artic blizzard, snowed in romance, and had me wanting hot chocolate on a 95 degree day.

Thanks to NetGalley and Forever for this E-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Loved this book!
Enemies to lovers, grumpy x sunshine, forced proximity.
This was my first book by Jaqueline Snowe and I will definitely be reading more books from her. I loved how Becca was the only person who was able to wear Harrison down and get him to talk about his feelings when he would start to close off. Even though Harrison initially thought Becca would be high maintenance and he didn’t want to commit that much time into a relationship with her, she was the most easy going and fun person he had ever spent time with.
The juxtaposition between Becca’s rainbow clothes and bubbly personality and Harrison’s dark and brooding quite demeanor was the perfect example of the grumpy/sunshine trope, which had become a new favorite of mine.
I did think that this would be a more Hallmark, down home romance story, but this book definitely had its fair share of spice so know that going in.
Overall, I did feel weird reading a Christmas love story during the summer, but I will for sure be rereading this during December by the fire with a cup of hot chocolate!

Becca Fairfield is used to men not taking her seriously. After all, she's all quirky sunshine. And blonde. The weatherman says there's a blizzard on it's way, so she's all set to snuggle in with hot chocolate and a pile of books until it passes. Harrison Cooper is the grump next door, and when the power goes out and he offers her shelter, she'd be silly to pass it up. He may seem like a grump, but he's really just a sensitive softy.

I loved this book. I always love sunshine and grumpy romances, and throw in a snowstorm and having to cuddle up with each other to stay warm . . . This was a lot of fun. I really loved Harrison. The backstory of a date and a hot kiss in their past makes him so awkward at first, but it is so adorable. Someone get the fireplace started and some hot beverages. This is the perfect cozy Christmas story!

I really enjoyed Snowed In for Christmas. It was a great take on the fantasy, I really loved the characters, and I thought the writing was witty. I liked that Jacqueline Snowe used the miscommunication trope and identified how dumb it is all at the same time. I thought this was a fun, feel good romance. It’s a quick read and good to help you get out of a reading funk.

This book is a good Christmas read. I was wanting to escape the 100 degree heat that we have been having recently and this book was just what I needed. Jaqueline Snowe knows how to deliver a good steamy Christmas read to keep you turning the pages.

Becca Fairfield is a sorority house mom and works as well, She loves her girls in her house like they are her own. When all the girls go to their respective places for the holidays, Becca plans to ride out the winter storm headed their way on her own. Becca thinks that she has everything that she could possibly need for the storm, but she didn't plan on a window breaking right before the storm hits and the girls leave. When one of the house girls' clothes go flying out of the window, Becca has to try to hunt them down and of course they would be the only place that Becca doesn't want them to be. On her hunky neighbors doorstep.

Harrison Cooper is a coach that has all the girls looking his way. He has not been very outgoing with those around him, but he did have a date with Becca one day. Becca thought that things had gone well but when Harrison didn't call or text after the date, she assumed that she had been wrong. Harrison sees Becca on his porch and decides to ask her what she is doing. Becca tells him he would never believe her if she told him but he tells her to try him. Becca tells Harrison that she is chasing some of the clothes of one if her house girls and Harrison is definitely surprised. Harrison and Becca go about their own ways and Becca goes in to repair the window. Well, Becca ends up cutting herself on some glass and Harrison just so happens to come to the rescue and helps Becca.

The next day after the girls have all left and the storm has hit, Harrison checks on Becca and finds that she was not as prepared for the storm as she thought she was. Harrison once again comes to the rescue and Becca ends up going to stay with Harrison in his house. Well, you can guess what happens when they need to heat each other up with their body heat. Will they be able to only keep it to the winter storm time though or will their sparks continue to flow after the winter storm? I think this is a sweet Christmas read that you will enjoy! I did!

I voluntarily read and reviewed this book and all opinions are my own. Thanks to NetGalley, the publishers and the author for an advanced copy of this book.

I received this as an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was absolutely adorable! Becca & Harrison's snow-pocalypse will definitely make your toes curl & keep you warm no matter the weather!

No Christmas puns, and definitely not as cheesy as it could've been!

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Becca is prepared for the storm thats coming. It was going well until she had to stay with her neighbor. She grew to like him more and more. This was a great holiday read.

DNF @41% I was enjoying this one, but just lost interest. Harrison and Becca didn't stand out to me in anyway and their chemistry didn't make sense to me. I also don't like second chance so I think that really took me out of the story. I'm bummed I didn't like this one bc I do love the snowed in trope, but maybe it only works for me in fanfic.

Tbh I could've continued with this one bc I wasn't hating it, but I also had no desire to pick it back up and my mind kept wandering so that to me is a sign to DNF.

I'm bummed because I've read from this author before and enjoyed her work, but this just didn't grip me.

This was a short and sweet, holiday romance. The author did a great job of balancing out a believable premise, neighbors reconnecting during a blizzard, with the romance. The tropes were grumpy/sunshine, there is only one bed, snowed in together, and second chance romance. Definitely a book I think would be best read around the holidays, in November and December. (Thanks to Netgalley and Forever Publishing)

The perfect Holiday romance book! It was fun reading about this grumpy/sunshine couple and I loved every word of it! Thiswas a perfect book to read curled up under a blanket! Chefs kiss, perfect!
I just reviewed Snowed In for Christmas by Jaqueline Snowe. #NetGalley

The perfect spicy Christmas in July read. The storyline was somehow both light and cute with some spicy and deep topics mixed in. I really loved Becca's character. She was kind, sweet, quirky, and 100% herself. The self-doubt and worry abut how others viewed her really hit home. It made my heart so happy to read about her happy ending with Harrison.

I recommend this book if you love grumpy vs. sunshine and a cute, spicy romance.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

After a fantastic date between a Sorority mom and her neighbor, the college football coach, he ghosts her for two years but now with a snow blizzard happening and they're both forced to share a home... they'll have to face the feelings between them and what could have been and what could still be. Becca Fairfield is a sorority mom, she loves helping the girls and looking after them. She's considered too blond, too quirky, too much and after bad date after bad date, she's just had enough. It doesn't help that she went out with her very handsome but grumpy neighbor who just happens to be the college football coach, Harrison Cooper and after what she thought was a great date ended with him ghosting her. It's been two years and they are both still barely talking to each other, yet when the snowstorm hits and Becca's sorority house is damaged, she is forced to stay with Harrison until the power comes back and the snow storm calms down. Yet staying with the very same guy who made you doubt yourself is bound to be a not great time. Harrison regrets not calling Becca despite telling her he would two years ago. He's a divorced failing football coach who's team is losing and he might be out of a job soon. He's grumpy, cranky, and has a hard time communicating with people. Yet the more time he spends with the gorgeous blonde who tempts him during this snowstorm the more he wants to actually make it work with her. Can these two polar opposites give love a second chance? This was an okay second chance romance filled with misunderstandings, and if that's your favorite tropes then I definitely think this is the holiday romance book for you!

*Thanks Netgalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing), Forever for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

I loved this book. The characters were wonderful. Harrison was kinda quiet and spent a lot of time alone after his divorce with his wife.

Becca was a trip. She wears colorful outfits and has a bubbly personality. It was a fun book to read and I think you will enjoy it as much as I did.

What do you get when you cross a bubbly unloving headstrong woman and a brooding man at Christmas. This book that is what you get!

Talk about opposites attract. This book incorporates that to a t add in a little bit of force proximity and you have yourself a beautiful Christmas time story.

And to top it all off, you also get true deep connection between the two characters as well as some truly emotional family relationships.

Becca is an incredibly strong-willed individual, but at the same time she does know when to ask for help and I loved that. Then you have Harrison who has his own set of issues. One of them being trust issues.

More time these two spend together the more they truly see each other for who they are.

There was a little bit of a miscommunication issue that I wasn't the biggest fan of, but the ending is super cute. I can almost forget it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Forever publishing for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a fun and steamy Christmas romance with forced proximity, second chance, and grumpy x sunshine tropes!

Harrison is a college football coach and went on a date with his neighbor Becca (sorority house mom) 2 years ago. He never called her but not because he didn’t like her! Now, they’re stuck without power and the snow storm has them unable to leave their homes. Harrison offers to have Becca stay with him and they become snowmagedden buddies/friends with benefits. The steam was good and I loved how grumpy Harrison was!

I wish he hadn’t ghosted her 2 years prior and that miscommunication wasn’t an issue! But overall this was a great holiday romance!

Snowed in for Christmas was exactly what I expected. It’s a super cheesy love story with all the warmth of Christmas time. I read it all in less than 24 hours because it’s a sweet, easy-to-read page-turner of a book, This is the kind of book that makes you happy, but it sure is predictable! Thank you NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this cute book.

Becca and Harrison are the perfect sunshine and grump. She’s a chaos demon of energy and enthusiasm who loves her job caring for the sorority girls of Beta House. Harrison takes everything seriously including his job as the university’s football coach. She can’t stop sharing and talking while he has trouble expressing his feelings and often can’t find the words.

Watching them read and misread each other’s actions while trying so hard to fight the growing attraction between them was adorable.

I loved watching them go from dislike and distrust to admiring, supporting, and standing up for each other.

This grumpy, sunshine, forced close proximity, second chance romance was cute.

Becca is quirky, caring, and sweet. She's a great character that you can relate to. Harrison is her hot grumpy neighbor. Their relationship is entertaining, cute, steamy, and funny!

A huge blizzard hits! Becca finds herself without power, heat, or enough fire wood to keep herself warm. Harrison comes to the rescue and tens to "ALL" her needs!! While trapped together in Harrison’s home during the storm, they are forced to address the awkwardness caused by Harrison ghosting Becca two years prior to. Their second chance becomes real as they have to deal with their past.

This was a fun read.

This is a fun holiday read! The characters have great chemistry and the story is warm and the backdrop of a winter wonderland is magical ❄️

This was such a fun, holiday read! I know snowed-in is a big Christmas/holiday trope, and this was my first time reading one. Now I want ten more to stock up on before December hits. I think fans of Tessa Bailey will eat this book up, especially given the spice level of this book!

I adored the dynamic between Becca and Harrison. Grumpy-sunshine is a trope that always hits for me, and this was no exception. They both have their own insecurities that hold them back. Becca has been told over and over by the men she dates that she's "too much", while Harrison is reeling from a losing season and worried about getting fired while constantly being reminded and compared to the success his younger brother by his parents. It was so satisfying to see them knock each other's walls down and open up to each other.

I wasn't expecting this book to be as sexy as it was, and I loved every second of it! Becca and Harrison have such great chemistry together, and I loved how protective he was of her during the storm. Overall, I loved this so much and can't wait to see what Jaqueline Snow comes out with next!
