This was such a fun holiday, winter romance! It's a true laugh out loud sweet book with loveable characters! Grab a hot drink and curl up with this book!

I know I am very late for this one, but, honestly? It slaps.
I absolutely adore this author. She can write a fluffy, cute romance but make it also spicy and incredibly hilarious.
There is just two words to describe it: christmas miracle.
Go good.

I loved this story! Very easy to read, giggle filled story! Perfect read for not only Christmas time but all year round. Very cosy vibes! Love her work can't wait to see what she comes out with next!

Actual rating: 4.25 — I really loved this book! The plot developed really well and I loved the tropes that occurred throughout it! It was a little slow in the beginning and I wasn’t sure quite what to expect/where it was going but that is literally my only complaint. I loved the MFC and MMC so much. They were amazing on their own but I loved how they were together and how they got along. The whole idea of fake dating for Christmas with their families was done so well and I enjoyed getting to know both sides. I appreciated that even though both characters had some slight issues with their family, it wasn’t anything huge or over dramatic. I love how reassuring Christian was towards Megan when she was stressed about being home and seeing people. They had such great chemistry and a well put together dynamic which made their relationship believable. I actually felt their connection and was pulling for them. Not only was this a great romance novel, but it is a great Christmas romance novel (which I think that can be much harder to achieve). The excerpt at the end of book 1 in the series also had me hooked and I will be reading that in the near future!

I received a digital copy from NetGalley & the author of this novel in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to Catherine Walsh for this novel!

Catherine Walsh is my go-to romance author. This book just proved why!! I adore the way Walsh writes her characters and the romance feels so natural and real

Once again Catherine Walsh has written a fabulous cosy Christmas romance. Although you don’t need to have read Holiday Romance first to enjoy this one it does involve some of the same characters. I thought this was such a cute story, great characters, adored the setting and it made me chuckle out loud more than once. I really recommend this author’s books!

Catherine Walsh is so good at holiday romances.! You don’t need to read Holiday Romance first to read this book but they are slightly related. This small town, fake dating holiday romance shouldn’t be missed if you love a good Christmas book.

thank you to netgalley for the advanced reading copy. I really enjoyed this and will be getting copies for my shop.

I loved this! It contains my favourite trope, fake dating so that almost always makes a book enjoyable to me. The two main characters were great together and it really felt like their connection was real, especially because the book is dual POV. In general a perfect book for christmas, which I would definitely recommend.

This was such a fun, greatly-paced book with loveable characters! Perfect for the Christmas season and I can't wait to read more from this author.

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

A really enjoyable lighthearted Christmas read with some family drama. Megan and Christian have great chemistry and some funny moments together. This book is dual POV with a runaway bride and a fake dating plot. The first half of the book is much better than the second half as it sort of started to lose itself a bit. All in all though I enjoyed this book more than the first (Holiday Romance) and am a sucker for the fake dating plot.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC.

Catherine Walsh does it again 🫶🏻 an absolutely perfect book that made me laugh out loud and feel so cosy and christmassy!

I loved getting to spend more time with the Fitzpatricks!

We open with Megan, who is leaving her childhood boyfriend and the local golden boy at the alter. Turns out he's not the sweetheart everyone believes him to be, but Megan keeps that to herself and bolts. Fast-forward to present day and Megan is dreading going home for the holidays. Since she broke Isaac's heart, she's been flagged as the village pariah, but she's also dreading a run-in with her ex, especially considering she's single (again) and he's recently become engaged.

Christian Fitzpatrick is fed up of going alone every Christmas, especially since his brother is so loved up and happy (if you haven't, read The Holiday Romance, the first in this series). While he doesn't mind being single all that much, he knows his family would like to see him find love.

When Megan and Christian bump into each other in a Dublin pub, they come up with a pact to see them through the holiday season. They agree to fake date to appease their families and get them through the worst of the drama, and we all know how that goes.

I loved this book. Catherine Walsh does witty banter and sexual tension so well, and her use of the fake-dating trope was perfect. I loved the characters and their backstories, which had just enough depth to make them believable and relatable. My only complaint is the title choice was a bit strange when it only refers to a relatively minor plotline in the whole book, but otherwise I thought this books was fun, engrossing, and electric. I can't wait to read more about this family.

Snowed In - Catherine Walsh

Christian and Megan were such an enjoyable couple - the history between them added to their building feelings and I thought Christian had the perfect personality for this type of read. I really enjoyed the story line of this book, I liked how when you thought you knew something about the main character Megan's past, the author throws in some more tidbits of info to make you think - hold on there's more to this than we first thought. A very nice fun Christmas read.
Thanks so much Bookouture and Netgalley for this e-arc in return for my honest thoughts and opinions.

Her best yet. I think the author has really found her voice and is amazing at writing humor without it being trite.
Typically holidays books are not my thing, but I'd read this over and over.

Wonderfully paced, the perfect cosy romcom. Exactly what you expect and exactly what you need but done so, so well! Thanks NetGalley!

Wonderful story, great character development, great writing! Highly recommend this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it

Megan fled her own wedding five years ago, leaving her small village for Dublin. Christian, an old schoolmate who witnessed her departure, encounters her again by chance in a Dublin pub. Both facing awkward homecoming visits, they agree to fake date during their two-week stay, leading to a rollercoaster of emotions and entertaining events. Set in the world of "Holiday Romance," readers catch up with familiar characters while Christian and Megan take center stage. Their flirty banter and chemistry shine, with Christian portrayed as a thoughtful and supportive partner. The story is filled with laugh-out-loud moments, touching family interactions, and a refreshing absence of a third act breakup. Fans of the series will eagerly anticipate future installments featuring other beloved characters.

This was cute and predictable. It took me forever to get through it because I wasn’t hooked or excited to see where the story was going.

Catherine Walsh is perfection. I LOVED Holiday Romance and I loved Snowed In! The Emily Henry of festive novels, which is a high praise coming from me.
