A Blizzard for Christmas? Here are reasons to read the historical fiction book:

College Neighbors - Becca and Harrison are neighbors on a college campus

Sorority mom and Football Coach - she is a sorority mom and he is a football coach

Christmas Blizzard- but when a blizzard hits during christmas break, they are forced to spend some time in the same house even though they had a disastrous date previously

It was a cute holiday story. It was a lot about how they kept their time in the house, which as you can imagine got a little steamy. I thought it was a really nice story to read on a cold day, cozy by the fire. Both the main characters have issues they need to work through of course, but overall it is one that is just okay.

Truly enjoyed the story of the Miller family—their interactions and individual stories. The characters were well thought out and loved the humor. Thank you for one of the best books I’ve read so far. Truly enjoyable!

Thank you ForeverPub for the eARC--all thoughts and opinions are that of my own.

the weather outside is frightful, but the fireplace is so delightful... and steamy

Sure, Halloween and Thanksgiving are coming soon here but like CHRISTMAS! And Jaqueline Snowe! Like come on.

This needs to be on your Christmas Spirit reading list. Honestly even if you don't celebrate Christmas and want some warmth from the impending cold weather look no further.

My word did it get steamy... Ironically--so hot. But it went the extra steps and also made it so emotional as well with difficult families.

Becca was so much fun and her quirks weren't left to die after the beginning. She is who she is the entire way through.

Harrison has a lot to work through in this book and he does. His melting (ha ha) within the book and how he is gone for Becca is adorable.

I also appreciate how much they encourage each other throughout their weaknesses. Sure this takes place over a few days, but everything was really realistic in progression.

It's a perfect weekend read. Add hot chocolate and maybe some wine (or whiskey). The plot is perfectly set up and everything is tied up at the end!!

I highly recommend picking this book up. Especially if you've read other books by her (and if you haven't--please do so! they're sooo good!).

I’m so sad to DNF this book, but by 30% I know I can’t continue! These characters are supposed to be in their 30s, but for the first several chapter I thought they were college students. Their communication is incredibly immature and childish. Why not just talk about your date/attraction?! Especially if you live next door to each other. The dialogue/writing in general is really cringey and not at all what I was expecting. I love the concept of this romance but it didn’t work for me at all.

I ended up DNF this at around 34%. I'm not into romance novels that don't develop the relationship, but rather, focuses predominantly on the attraction aspect between the characters. It was getting quite frustrating and didn't keep me engaged in the story because of this.

I thought that this was so freaking cute!!

It was the perfect book to get me in the mood for some Christmas movies. (Even though technically it's wayyy too early). I absolutely loved Becca and was rooting for her throughout the entire book! She was a joy and had an incredible work ethic in helping others.

I also adored Harrison and his shy little grumpy self. I will say that at times, the miscommunication in this one was a little too much for me; however, the spice completely made up for it!

Overall, this was a sweet and spicy book that is perfect for the upcoming holiday season!

I really couldn't get into this one. Maybe it's just me but I couldn't even get farther than 8%. I already don't like the characters and the dialogue is weird to me. Becca comes off as ditsy and one of those (personally) annoying personalities. Harrison also comes across as kind of supe4ficial talking about her face and body right off the bat.

Thank you, NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for this advance copy in exchange for my review.

Oh wow this book will warm your heart like the perfect cup of hot chocolate. I actually laughed out loud during some passages.
I absolutely adored Becca and Harrison.

Think grumpy/sunshine forced proximity Hallmark Christmas movie but with 🌶️

This was new author for me and I really like this steamy holiday romance! I enjoyed the grumpy/sunshine trope of these two! Harrison and Becca had been out before a few years ago, but Harrison ghosted Becca. Now Becca is offering Harrison to stay at her house during a power outage during a snow storm. I enjoyed watching these two get to know one another and find an HEA! These two really warm up the pages with this cute light romance! I recommend this for the holiday season for sure!

This book started off cute! Maybe this is my fault, but I didn’t realize how spicy it was. Like… not a whole lot of plot outside of setting up spaces for them to do adult things together in the freezing cold. I'm not opposed to spice, but this felt like throwing in adult content just for the sake of it being there. Illustrated covers are NOT safe to go by anymore, but I still picked this one up because it looked like it would have more substance than spice, but I guessed wrong.

This was so fun! I loved the personalities of the two main characters. This was a well balanced book. There were certain elements I found a bit cheesy, but I didn't find that to be a bad thing.

I really loved this book! I'm a sucker for a good grumpy/sunshine trope, and this one delivered! There were plenty of laughs, lots of spice, and some really heartwarming moments! I loved how Becca was happy with who she was as a person, and didn't sway from that at all! I would read this one again, and definitely recommend it to a friend!
Thank you NetGalley for this arc in exchange for my honest review!

Overall I enjoyed the book. Becca was a fun, unique and strong character. I didn’t really like all the miscommunication but it moved the story along. I could see this as a Hallmark movie.

Ugh, this book.
I was so excited for this story.
A big snow storm with no power, forced proximity and a second chance romance.
Sounds right up my street.
The problem was that the writing didn't live up.
The characters come off much more immature than their age. You can tell the author was trying to add these deep cuts, but the emotional depth just wasn't there.
The other bit I didn't care for? The way it felt like I was reading cheesy 80s porn, not just the sex scenes, like the whole book reads with that superficial awkward you only really get when the pool guy or pizza delivery dude show up.
I appreciate NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) letting me check this out, just wasn't for me.

The dialogue seemed a bit off or clunky at times, esp for the students. I just have a hard time believing college girls would actually be that close with their house mother. Becca also felt a bit immature for the age she supposedly was, which made the spice scenes a bit awkward to read. This was definitely a case of insta-love, like much too short a time frame for my taste, but they were cute enough together to not have a problem finishing the book. The plot felt complete for the most part and the lack of side characters wasn’t too boring. Harrison was pretty sweet when he wanted to be, though his communication could’ve certainly been less frustrating at times. Overall, I’d give it more like a 3.5 but rounding up for decent spice!

This was a fun grumpy and sunshine holiday romance! Becca and Harrison are neighbors with a bit of a background, what will happen when they are snowed in due to a blizzard? I found Becca and Harrison to both be equally relatable. I also enjoyed their banter together. I enjoyed their story and couldn't put it down! Thank you NetGalley and Forever Pub for an advanced copy! All thoughts and opinions are my own!

This is a cute holiday romance, with some fun steam, but it ramped up way to much in the last 10%. One minute Harrison would never seriously date again, the next he wanted to get married?

There was way too much focus throughout the whole story on their one date two years ago that never progressed. I love a snowed in romance, but it was hard to understand why Becca would even agree to be Blizzard Buddies with Benefits.

If you are looking for a steamy holiday romance with little angst, this might be the book for you.

A cute, fluffy romcom for Christmas. I didn't really connect with the characters like I wanted to, but it was an easy read, especially as I'm always on the lookout for holiday romances to recommend.

Thank you to Forever for making this available for review through NetGalley!

3.5⭐️This is such a fun winter read, I flew through this one on a plane ride! I loved Becca’s character- she was so quirky and unapologetically her, which was so refreshing! And Harrison.. a grump but you know he has that soft inside- I enjoyed getting to read about him with his sisters family and how the kids help him come out of his shell. The spice in this one was fun!

I do struggle with the miscommunication trope so ultimately this one fell a little short for me because so much of this could have been rectified with a single conversation 🤣 ultimately, I loved how this one wrapped up and would recommend for the holiday season!

After having just watched a sorority movie, writing this review is perfect! Becca isn't as vapid at the sorority moms in the movies, but she's still on the same struggle-bus. However, as the old saying goes, you tend to find someone when you stop looking. And Becca's life follows this plan - she's not looking and so being stuck in close quarters with Harrison is in the cards. I'm pretty confident they have enough smoldering heat to keep them warm!

This is a typical snow storm romance, but it's good. I loved Becca most of all.
