Snowbound with Mr. Wrong by Barbara White Daille

I just... don't like Lyssa and Nick together and I didn't like them individually either. Nick was rude, and I lost respect for Lyssa because she wanted to be with him anyway.

Received an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.

This was a sweet holiday read. Lyssa and Nick don't see eye to eye about a lot of things, so when they end up snowed in with three kids at Christmas, things get tense. They're both still a little bitter about they way their relationship ended, but it's clear that it's because they still feel strongly for one another.

This is the first book in the series, but it feels like we were supposed to know stuff about Snowflake Valley already, which was really my only issue. All in all, a cute holiday read that gets you swept up in Christmas and make you want some hot cocoa.

Really cute and really hot novel. Good for read in a really cool day with blankets and hot cacao. It a very fascinating story. Would read again and would recommend to anyone.

Lyssa had agreed to help her sister Amber with the Christmas party again . Lyssa had gained some weight and the Elf costume and it was very tight. Lyssa's habit of snacking habit had shot out of control at the end of the summer after Lyssa had broke up with Nick six months earlier as Nick was obsessed with his job. Amber’s parties were legendary but her Christmas gathering for the kids of Snowflake Valley topped them all. Then Lyssa realizes Nick is playing Santa again this year the one person she never wanted to see again as he broke her heart. Nick wasn’t over Lyssa either as no one could take her place. Then a blizzard is forecast and everyone hurries down the mountain then there was only Nick, Lyssa, Molly, Tommy, and Brent. Nick tries to drive down the mountain but a tree falls and they can't go anywhere but back to the lodge until that tree was moved. Nick also got hurt. They made it back to lodge and had everything they needed except there was no phone service.
I had mixed feelings about his story.It did hold my attention for the most part. I also chuckled at times while reading this. The plot was good. I just didn’t really care for Nick and wondered why Lyssa had cared so much. It was also annoying how many times Nick referred to his job as a troubleshooter. But the kids definitely added if not stole a lot of the story as far as I am concerned. Although Lyssa was a good character also and I do know there were good things about Nick. I just didn’t connect with Lyssa and Nick having this great love between them and they definitely needed to communicate better.

This is a second chance story. Nick and Lyssa relationship lacked something. It may have been the author lack of addressing the real issue between them until over half way into the story. The kids kept the story going being trapped in a cabin during a blizzard on the eve of Christmas. Lyssa had eventful ways of keeping the kids fed and entertained during their entrapment at the cabin.

I love the cover it's adorable, but the book is so slow. It's pretty boring.

I might decide to try to pick it back because I'm half way through with it. I'm not sure yet.
