I really enjoyed Snowe's last book, Snowed in for Christmas, so I was excited when I received a widget from the publisher to read this one. But meh. I was disappointed. This book fell flat for me in many ways. The entire story felt forced and unbelievable. At times, I felt like I was reading a young adult novel based off of the immature dialogue and decisions made between Charlotte and Hayden. The "naughtiness" was R rated at best and extremely cheesy. I did like the characters...or at least the idea of them. I saw another reviewer say that the characters were akin to paper dolls, and she was spot on with this reference. I couldn't have said it better myself. There were no layers to them nor to the plot. The potential was there for this to be a 5-star book, but it was too much of a surface read. I think I would have enjoyed it more if there was more depth to the plot and characters. It was cute and I think many people will like it for what it is. A quick, Christmasy romance that makes you smile. I would recommend only for the sake of forming your own opinions.

Thank you to Forever (Grand Central Publishing) and NetGalley for granting me early digital access in exchange for my honest review!

This was such a fun ride. Bring on all the Christmas cheer! I laughed and I cried. My favorite part of the book was all the Christmas fun and games. I loved solving the riddles right along with the characters. I now want to visit and join in on all the festivities. This is a great book if you need a little Christmas cheer, want to get to know a great group of friends, enjoy found family and want a happily ever after sprinkled with sugar and spice. 2/5 spice level.

Meh. An incredibly mediocre book with little to no stakes, contrivances that are infuriating and characters that are little more than paper dolls. It’s a cute idea but it’s got less layers than a second string hallmark Christmas movie.

Thank you for sending the book net

Charlotte has always loved Hayden but her crush seemed to be unrequited. That is until Charlotte and Hayden find themselves together at Charlotte’s brother’s bachelor/bachelorette party at a Christmas themed resort. Hayden seems different towards Charlotte, could it be because he has feelings for her too?

Honestly this is basically a rated ‘R’ sexy hallmark Christmas movie in book form. Single Dad, cheesy lines, brothers best friend. I was intrigued from page one, can’t give any spoilers but trust me the first chapter will pull you in immediately. What more could a girl want out of a cheesy romance? If you don’t like cheesy declarations of love or smutty scenes this book probably isn’t for you. Thank you NetGalley and Forever for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

First thank you NetGalley, Forever publishing, and the author for this advanced copy. It was an amazing book and such a fun read!

This book was ADORABLE!! It was literally like reading a Hallmark movie and I loved it. The Christmas shenanigans were hilarious! I officially want to have a Christmas cocktail competition at my next holiday party.

The story was so cute too. As teacher, I loved that Charlotte was on too. The banter and chemistry between Hayden and Charlotte was so good! You really felt the tension and just wanted them to be together. I loved the single dad vibe for Hayden, and Gwen was the most adorable 3 year old.

The side characters were hilarious! From Hayden’s mom to Garrett they were all so good and brought so much fun and heart to the study. The story flowed well and there was the perfect abound of spice for me. It was watch a cute story and really made me with it was Christmas time.

Thank you again NetGalley and publishers for this book it was such a great read!

This was a cute holiday read. I wanted a bit of a Christmas feel in July and received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

It was a single dad, brother’s best friend story so there was no way I was going to turn it down. The book started off really cute and I loved Charlotte’s, the FMC, bubbly personality. She’d been crushing on Hayden for years, but he had made it clear to her that he didn’t see her that way. However, they were about to spend a lot of time together for her brother’s bachelor party. I enjoyed all the different events they participated in together and was loving all the tension!

This would have been a perfect holiday story, sweet, fluffy, and full of humor, if it had ended at the ski resort. I didn’t like Hayden’s decisions once they were back home even with his reasonings. There was too much back and forth and that third act breakup didn’t sit well with me.

Even so, it was still a quick read and satisfied my holiday craving. It would make a good palate cleanser if you were looking for something light in between reads.

The first two-thirds would’ve been a cute holiday novella, but unfortunately, the last third brought this rating down, as both Hayden’s ex returning and Hayden’s actions following it felt forced/were off putting.

A great Christmas book to get lost in. I loved the character's banter and how their relationship developed. Brava to Snowe for her writing style and talent. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. Five stars.

Christmas Sweater Weather is a super quick and fun holiday read about Charlotte and her brother’s best friend and single dad Hayden. Charlotte has had a crush on Hayden for years but it’s always been one-sided or so she assumed because of what happened the night they kissed years ago. Hayden has always kept his feelings for Charlotte compartmentalized because she’s his best friend’s younger sister and he’s now a single dad and it wouldn’t be fair to her.

That all changes the weekend of Charlotte’s brother’s bachelor/bachelorette weekend at a ski resort and Charlotte finds out that her crush isn’t one sided and they explore what that could mean. Charlotte and Hayden have great chemistry but can they survive out in the real world?

Enjoyable brother’s best friend and single dad romance mixed with a whole lot of Christmas so if you are looking for some easy reading holiday books to load up your tbr with, add this one.

5 billion stars. A brother’s best friend meets holiday is my dream book and this delivers. I adored this so much I can’t even explain. It was funny, it was sweet, it was endearing, and it was spicy.

Charlotte is stuck on the side of the road after snowy conditions leave her stranded on the way to her brother and future sister-in-law’s joint pre-wedding celebrations. They send his best friend to help. The problem? She’s been in love with him almost her whole life until an attempt for more left them not speaking.

Hayden’s a single dad who’s stressed out. He barely has time to come to his best friend’s weekend but he’s glad he did when he gets a chance to make things right with Charlotte. He just has to fight his fear that he’s not enough for her.

The chemistry between these two was insane. I loved it. The Christmas games and overall joy was so amazing. It was lighthearted and fun!

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

This talented author has written a book that is fun to read. Fiction that entertains. A page turner…realistic characters keep the story moving quickly. Even the title is quirky…like that too…friends and family…love and romance…enjoy…thanks Netgalley.

I seriously loved this! A Christmas romance between charlotte and her older brothers best friend Hayden, Hayden is a single dad, so if kids aren’t for you, steer clear. Charlotte has had a crush on Hayden for as long as she can remember, but she also remembers being rejected by him. Hayden, on the other hand, can’t seem to get charlotte out of his head now that she is all grown up. With the brother/best friends wedding coming up, these two have plenty of time together!

An absolute holiday delight! The chemistry between Charlotte and Hayden is undeniable. The characters are charming and heartfelt, making you root for their every stolen glance and secret kiss. Their romance is as magical as Christmas morning, full of warmth, passion, and the sweetest forbidden love vibes. I loved it,

Thank you for the opportunity to read another great comfy romance! I finished it in one sitting while traveling and thoroughly enjoyed it. I did notice there were a few sentences that were missing some words but everything still made sense. Charlotte was quirky and adorable, Hayden was kinda dumb relationship wise but got there in the end! I loved the relationship dynamics and the fact that the miscommunication trope was addressed immediately. I liked the balance of spice and plot, it never felt like too much or out of place. Each character has a developed personality and I felt they all served a purpose.
