A super cute and super funny story to curl up with by the fireplace while it's snowing!

I LOVED Harrison and Becca together! I didn't want the story to end because it gave me all the warm and fuzzy feelings that any rom-com can give!

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and author for the copy of this eARC for my honest review. All ratings and any reviews are opinions of my own.

Decent story with an FMC you can’t help but root for!

I thought this one was an OK holiday romance. Kind of on the immature side, but generally fun and an enjoyable read.

This was such a steamy, yet sweet story! I loved the characters. The banter was witty and their chemistry was palpable. The lead character, Becca, was very down to earth and easy to root for. The miscommunication as a trope always drives me crazy but in this book, it works.

The premise of this book was intriguing and something I always gravitate to. However, when it came down to reading it, it fell flat. The plot was not developed wellad fell flat. The characters were, unfortunately, not the most likable of characters and came across as whiny and superficial. It took me so long to get through as I didn’t find myself reaching for it.

A cute and fun holiday romance. I loved Becca for unapologetically being who she is and not compromising. She has a unique job being a sorority house mom and even though people think she needs to move on she loves what she does. Her next door neighbor is the football coach and they end up together over break when a big snowstorm hits. They made a super cute couple and I loved watching them figure things out.

This one has everything! Forced proximity! Bad weather! One bed! Second chance romance! It’s all present! And I did enjoy it. I thought it was fun. It had great spice.

Something that really took me out (besides a third act break up due to miscommunication which I HAAAATE) is how hard they felt the need to lean into the grumpy sunshine of it all. It felt like it was just to the extreme on both ends and it didn’t really work for me.

Fun, but that annoyed me.

I was very excited for this book as it sounded like a fun rom com, but it fell flat for me. I found our fmc Becca to be quite one dimensional and flat in her conversations and character. She had a lot of the typical stereotype of quirky petite blonde girl that I don't always gravitate to. She had little to no character development. I felt the same about Harrison as well. Overall, I just didn't fully buy into the romance and found myself with a lack of care around their relationship. This just unfortunately wasn't for me.

his was a cute holiday romance. Becca is a sorority mom and loves colors and is overall fun and full of life while Harrison is a broody football coach. The catch is that he ghosted her two years ago after what seemed like an amazing date, and now they’re stuck together during a blizzard. I really enjoyed Becca’s character and how different she was. I also loved the snowed in for Christmas plot with the blizzard and Becca and Harrison making the best out of their situation. This was a fun and steamy read.

This was a great adult romance novel! I really liked Becca and Harrison together, and the plot was good. I would definitely recommend trying this novel!

I received an e-ARC from the publisher.

This was a great grumpy/sunshine forced proximity romance. Becca is a sorority mom who underestimates an upcoming snowstorm and finds herself alone in the sorority house with no power or heat and a broken window. Harrison, the football coach who lives next door, realizes her predicament and takes her into his home. Becca and Harrison had been on a date before, but she never heard from him again, so she suspected he wasn't interested. Will Becca and Harrison being in the same house for the storm change things? It was fun and creative.

I wanted to love this one, because it has a lot of my favorite elements: takes place at Christmas, sunshine and grump, and forced proximity when the couple is snowed in together during a blizzard.

Unfortunately, I don't enjoy insta-love or miscommunication, both of which featured heavily. I also disliked the Becca from the start: maybe it was the narrator, but she seemed way too childish for the steamy scenes. I can enjoy a quirky MC, but her whole personality was that she was soooo weird and different and unloveable. Crocheting isn't that weird, hun.

Maybe I'll come back to it next Christmas--maybe I'll like it better physically reading without the influence of the narrator's performance?

Thank you for the arc. I enjoyed “Snowed in for Christmas.” It was cute funny and a fast read. I’m exited to recommend to friends to read.

I enjoyed this really cute Christmas love story. When I read Christmas books I am looking for something that gets me in the spirit of the season and this completely did that for me. I will say this, the story is a little far fetched that when the snowstorm starts, Harrison invites Becca to stay at his place. With they dynamic and relationship at time, this would not happen in the real world. That being said, this is not the real world, its a book and especially with a holiday romance you just overlook that stuff. I thought the characters were likeable and the pacing was well done.

I liked Snowed in for Christmas.

I liked Becca and Harrison's characters. I don't know why but I didn't like the way their relationship was written. It seemed more forced than it just happened. They both seemed immature when together.

Overall, I liked the storyline and writing style. I just wish Becca and Harrison didn't come across as immature especially with his age.

This gets all the stars. I loved Becca’s character. She reminded me so much of the movie The House Bunny. This was the perfect Christmas read with a steamy romance between the sorority house mom and the grumpy next door neighbour. Snowed in while everyone else is away during the Christmas holidays.

When Becca gets snowed in at the sorority house she manages, Harrison (the next-door neighbor, football coach) rescues her. While being snowed in would be bad enough, Harrison ghosted her after their one and only date.

This one just got on my nerves! Hard pass. I finished it, so it isn’t a one-star. But I really didn’t enjoy it - I would like my audible credit back.

Three and a half stars

SNOWED IN FOR CHRISTMAS by Jaqueline Snowe is a grumpy/sunshine snowed-in romance. Becca Fairfield is a sorority house "mom", known for her quirkiness and fun-loving ways. She takes her role very seriously, and her lighthearted approach to things makes her a favorite of her charges. Next door is Harrison Cooper, football coach, of course known for his self-discipline and organization. They had one date a couple years back after which Harrison blew it and they have been professionally polite.

A snowstorm gives Harrison a chance to take care of Becca, and give them a chance to get to know each other better without the facade they put on for the rest of the world, if they only take it.

Heavy on the miscommunication, a nevertheless entertaining holiday read.

Snowed in for Christmas by Jacqueline Snowe

Thank you Forever and Netgalley, for the e-arc!

This is the first time I've heard about 'sorority mom's'. Having gone to university here in Canada, we don't have sorority houses like they do in the States. It was interesting hearing about how Becca took care of the house and the girls living there. Outlining strict guidelines, rules and expectations for them was so important and Becca Fairfield did just that. Having their trust and respect made Becca a loved Sorority Mom.

Feeling all the love from her girls didn't stop Becca from keeping an eye for her very handsome, extremely cranky, moody neighbour and football coach, Harrison Cooper.

Becca and Harrison went out on what she thought was a wonderful date and shared a steamy hot kiss, only to be ghosted by him. 2 years have gone by where she's done everything she could to avoid running into him. Which was challenging as she could see his house from hers.

A few days before Christmas, a wicked storm blew in, knocking out all power in their neighbourhood and even a window in Becca's house.

All the girls have left for the holidays, leaving Becca alone in her home. Harrison, knowing the situation and being the kind neighbour that he is, invited Becca to stay with him until the power comes back on. He has plenty of space and enough cut wood for a warm and cozy fire to last for days.

Thrown in together under the circumstances opened up Becca and Harrison to conversations and creating a connection that neither of them could deny.

This was a wonderful story to read while sitting by a cozy fire with a cup of hot cocoa ;)
