Thank you so much for the eARC.

This book touched a few serious things- drug use, loss, and mental health.

I did not put this book down and definitely read it in one sitting. It's vulnerable and not as predictable as you may think.

I loved Snowed in with You, and picked it up just at the time I was craving an cosy, sweet and light read.

It definitely met the brief, but I was also pleasantly surprised by the warmth, humour and reflectivity of the main characters. Lucy was marvellously frank, unapologetic and authentic, but with a growing sense of self awareness and search for purpose. Nate was almost her inverse, and I loved his kindness and humour. The slow burn of their relationship, and their personal development was so satisfying.

I couldn’t put it down - the relationships, cast of characters, remote locations and somewhat out there scenarios had me hooked! I’d highly recommend this for anyone looking for a bookish escape.

Thank you Headline for a copy of this book. Opinions expressed are my own.

First of, I want to say a massive thank you to NetGalley and Heidi for allowing me to read this ARC!💖


Wow, wow, wow. This is the first book I read by Heidi and I absolutely loved it! This ruined my sleep schedule as i’m always a girl that can never put a book down 😭 But this book was so worth it!!

It was amazingly written and paced and I adored the characters! (Lucy, Nate and Jonno). The twists had my jaw on the floor and there was never a dull moment in this book! Apart from the moments of fragility that made the book that little bit more realistic.

The characters were formed together so well. No words. ♥️

Although this is written in third person and i normally hate it, this is my only exception! You completely forget about it and just get lost in their story 🫶🏼

I loved this read so much, and I recommend it to anyone who is searching for a funny, heartwarming read!!

This story is perfect to read on a cozy winter day! Lucy and Nate are work colleagues who get snowed in together, much to their utter disgust. However, the more time they spend together, the more they realize ... this may not be so bad.

I love a good 'snowed in' book and this really fit that category exactly! Lucy gets snowed in with her work colleague, Nate, and is absolutely enraged about it. However, as is often wont to happen, the universe has much in store for them. Ahhhh, such a great story!

I didn’t love how the book was written in third person, especially since it felt like it was still from the main character’s POV, but it kept repeating her name unnecessarily. It was distracting and made the flow of the story feel a bit awkward. The love triangle was predictable, and it seemed like every man around the protagonist was tripping over themselves for her, which felt overdone and unnecessary. Nate seemed to be set up as the obvious love interest, but the storyline around her FWB relationships and the other men’s interest in her felt forced.

The real issue was the inconsistency in the romance scenes. I usually don’t mind fade-to-black/closed door romance, but it didn’t match the rest of the book’s tone. The characters talked quite explicitly about sex, only for the scenes to fade to black, which felt like the author didn’t fully commit. Either lean into the explicitness or go fully closed-door, but this in-between approach didn’t work for me. Honestly, I should have DNF’d at 60%.

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

Such a great setting! I wish I could dive right in

I adored this book. A strong, independent lead who isn’t actively seeking love and instead has found her love in friendships is a lovely twist on the usual winters love story. The setting was just dreamy and I would have happily to continued to read about Nate and Lucy.

A lovely winter's tale, perfect to warm the cockles on a cold day (being trapped in doors by an avalanche optional!) that made me yearn for snowy days and gluhwein. Light enough to brighten your day, with just enough of a dusting of real life to stop it all feeling too saccharine. Really enjoyable stuff.

Snowed In With You by Heidi Stephens is a UK romcom with an FMC named Lucy who gets snowed in at a ski retreat and meets a potential love interest during the resulting avalanche and power outage. This was a fun enough read that I found myself frequently skimming, but there were a lot of things that weren't to my taste. Firstly, I don't love complicated love "webs" (she has several friends with benefits, making this more complicated than just a love triangle), the plot dragged in some parts, and overall it was quite cheesy. I know a lot of people who would absolutely eat this up and love it, I just couldn't get past some of the tropes and the cheesiness of it.

A lovely winter slow burn romance between Lucy and Nate it features my favourite forced proximity plot device and it’s set in the Swiss Alps at Christmas time. What’s not to love!

This is the perfect, your first impressions aren't always what they seem, book. The main character misjudged so many things in this book that she complicated her life way more than it could have been. This is a good example of communication is key. If only she would have spoke her mind or asked instead of assumed she would have found her happiness way sooner (would have lead to a pretty boring book though) I loved this book, I only gave 4 stars because the main character was a little annoying going over all her reasons over and over in her head and being stubborn. Thank you to the author and publisher for the ARC of this book.

A cosy winter read.
Fab for the colder evenings to sit & read with the fire on!
Really enjoyed it.

Really enjoyed this book, perfect to read wrapped up in a blanket in front of the fire as the weather gets colder. I loved the setting, the romance, and getting to know the amazing characters. My first Heidi Stephens read, and it won’t be my last!

A great, cosy, slightly cheesy winter romance. This will be a great one to curl up with as we go into the colder months. The characters are engaging and likeable and the story is easy to follow. Enjoyed this and would recommend giving it a go!

Thank you Netgalley for an eARC in exchange for this review.

Snowed in with you - this was the perfect cheesy romance for the winter months! Usually this would be perfect over Christmas but i did like that it was set just after Christmas. Lucy was a character with a lot going on, considering everyone seemed to fall in love with her at the drop of a hat I wasn't sure where it came from, she isn't a warm/communicative person and mostly seemed to have the personality of 'french exit' even though Nate was a lot more relatable.

I liked Nate and Jonno, I felt they bought a lot to the story and it was nice that Lucy's best friend was male - because men and women can absolutely be friends without it being anything more so THANK YOU HEIDI.

I did like how this book flowed really well and wasn't rushed, the time jumps were done really well in almost all areas. Not sure what the rush to get to Geneva to instantly move on to back in the UK was. But I get that was to remind us about Kristoff for the following pages - though in my opinion this didn't really fit too well with the story.

Overall a really good book!

Colleagues Lucy and Nate join each other for lunch on a mountain top in Switzerland but end up snowed in for the weekend. I can’t imagine better conditions for a romantic spark to ignite. A slow burn love story that swept me up in the journey. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

This is a lovely slow burn love story. Lucy was a very complicated character and by the end you got why she was as she was. Sad at times .Loved the snow lock in and how the internet can change your life. The Glastonbury part I loved. A good neat ending.

This started out more intense than I anticipated, yet while there is some serious content, the story was engaging, endearing & at times humorous. I enjoyed it!
Thanks #NetGalley for the ARC e-book!

This book is definitely one of my favourite wintery books that I have read this year. It was funny and sweet and I loved Lucy and Nate. It made me all warm and fuzzy inside - the perfect book to read by the fire under a cozy blanket. I will definitely be recommending this book for all to read. The cover was the cutest as well.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.
