Snowed In for Christmas was a cute, cozy read, perfect for reading in front of a fire with a mug of hot chocolate!

I thought this book was delightful! Becca and Harrison were such a perfect couple, the perfect grumpy x sunshine! The way they slowly warmed up to each other, while navigating their awkward feelings left over from their first date years ago was funny and sweet.

To be honest, at first, I didn't know if I would like Becca. I couldn't really connect with her, because her job as a "sorority mom" really threw me off. I had NO idea this was an actual job someone could do. Also, she was quite quirky and odd, but eventually, she really grew on me!

I thought Harrison was a great MMC. His hot, broody, grumpy personality really went well with Becca's sweet, odd, and colorful one. I loved seeing him navigate his feelings toward Becca and how she helped him work through personnal issues.

There were some great spicy moments, some cute, heartelt ones and a happy-ever-after! This book was the perfect kick-off to the holiday season and I definitely recommend it!

Thank you to Netgalley and Forever for the eARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Who doesn't just love grumpy x sunshine?!?
The banter between Harrison and Becca throughout this book was just so much fun - I love when a book can truly make me smile. Throughout this story I just kept picturing the house mom from my sorority house (which was in a very snowy city) and imagined what would have happened if this story took place there - which was so much fun to imagine. Snowe's debut book was such a quick read because I just wanted to keep reading about Harrison and Becca. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to add a book to their winter TBR.

Gotta love a snowed in, forced proximity to stay warm, holiday romance. Lots of tropes at work in this grump vs. quirky sunshine story. Becca Fairfield is sorority mom, meaning she works as the house mother to a college sorority. She truly marches to her own drummer. She is full of random facts, loves to read and is a fountain of information about leadership, team building and support. She has studied the topics to be a leader to the sorority and sisterhood. Next door lives Harrison Cooper. He is the college football coach, surly and his team didn’t do well this year. They went a date once two years ago and he didn’t call again.

After the girls leave for the holidays Becca and Harrison find themselves in a storm of the century. With some broken windows, power outages the two are forced to snuggle together in front of Harrison’s fireplace. These blizzard buddies are delightful as they open up about family expectations, a failed marriage and everything else. The story is very enjoyable. I love when they visit his sister and her family. There is some miscommunications but I like that it gets resolved quickly. And getting both MCs POVs is extra nice. This is steamy and fun. Thank you to NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for the ARC and I am leaving a voluntary review.

This was a perfect holiday read. Two neighbors with completely different personalities get snowed in together and end up falling for eachother. It's funny, steamy, and an easy read.

What a perfect, cute, spicy lil holiday romance to get us ready for winter.

Here’s what I loved:
• sunshine/grump
• second chance romance
• snowed in (hence the title) & forced proximity
• dual POV
• using body heat to stay warm 🥵

I wasn’t sure where we were heading when it started with the sorority house mom angle, so I’m glad it ended up not taking place around the college girls too much. And I really appreciated that Harrison respected Becca’s insight and suggestions about helping be a leader for his football team without getting defensive or dismissive.

TW/CW: minor injury, toxic relationships, car accident

Becca is a sorority housemother who says goodbye to her beloved girls for the holidays and is looking forward to having a little alone time before Christmas.

Harrison is her next-door neighbor who is the perpetually scowling football coach that is unhappy about the trajectory of his football team and their losing season.

Becca and Harrison had one great date two years ago-at least that's what Becca had thought. Harrison ghosted her afterwards and aside from some awkward run-ins on campus they have been out of each other's lives.

However, when a record-breaking blizzard hits their town and the power goes out, Harrison and Becca come together to pool resources and ride the storm out together.

Becca is sure that she can survive this snow apocalypse, even if it does mean spending time alone with Harrison.
Right?

As the weather rages outside, inside Harrison and Becca have the opportunity to spend time, to talk, and to challenge the assumptions they have made about each other years ago. As the chemistry between them sizzles and things definitely cross the friendship "blizzard buddy" line, Becca hopes that she can keep her feelings in check and take this experience for the momentary fling that it is and not risk having her heart broken by Harrison. Again.

Told from both Becca and Harrison's point of views, we come to a greater understanding and appreciation of these characters and their own personal journeys. Snowe creates the ideal SPICY holiday romance that is the perfect sexy read for the holiday season. I loved spending time with these characters and look forward to other works by Jaqueline Snowe.

This was really cute! I read it in essentially 2 sittings. I feel like I would have preferred a slower burn and a less...kind of silly 3rd act breakup BUT, again it was cute. And steamy. This is a great winter/christmas option, it'll really make you feel like you're living through a blizzard. Another aspect I enjoyed was the unique setting/occupations of the MCs and how it impacted their lives. I'd read more from this author in the future!

I thoroughly enjoyed this Christmas romance!! Becca and Harrison are a sweet couple—her vivacity is the perfect foil for his grumpiness! Forced to share a space when a blizzard knocks out power, they start to thaw out their own feelings for each other, and it was delightful!! I loved watching the two of them spar, and laugh, and and care for each other. The love scenes are steamy, but it was the way they opened up their hearts to each other that put a big smile on my face. Grab some cocoa, light a fire, and curl up under a cozy blanket with this book!

"Snowed in for Christmas" was a quick and charming read. It delivered what I expected from a typical romance novel. It wasn't the best or the worst book, just somewhere in between. I enjoyed the authors writing, but the usual cheesiness made it a three-star read for me. I would read other books by her, this was a good fluffy for in-between heavier books!

Thanks to Netgalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for the chance to review this arc.

The grumpy/sunshine and forced proximity tropes in romance books are my absolute FAVORITE so this one really put a smile on my face! I need to read more from the author ASAP because I truly adored her writing style and characters.

this is such a sweet holiday grumpy/sunshine romance. it's quick, sweet and heartfelt and I really enjoyed it. i thought harrison was such a cute grump and becca's upbeat energy is so adorable. they both truly deserved their happy ending. thanks so much to netgalley for this arc. i'll definitely have to check out her other books.

This is a great story that will keep your interest from the first page to the last. Becca and Harrison are neighbors who shared a date and a kiss a few years ago before he ghosted her. Over the last few years, they have shared some awkward encounters and then a snowstorm forces them together under one roof. The more time they spend together, the more they share their vulnerabilities with each other and truly get to know one another. The characters are complex and are beautifully written. I loved that the two of them had a past and the snowstorm gave them a second chance to realize that they are perfect together. I really enjoyed this book, it is a perfect holiday read with plenty of sweet, swoony moments and spice!

I love a good romance, and this one was wonderful! It had witty banter, and lovable characters. I was rooting for them the whole way through!

This was a cute Christmas forced proximity story, where the two main characters are trapped inside together due to a blizzard. I finished it a few days ago and it really hasn't stuck around even that long. A good time filller, but not much more than that.

I adored this christmas romance!

This book is an easy breezy, quick read, opposites attract, forced proximity, second-ish chance, lots of smiles, charming holiday read!

It’s dual POV with a charming house-mom and the grumpy coach next door.

Whether you read it in the snow or by the beach, Becca and Harrison will make the perfect addition!

What do you get when, after your first and only date, he doesn't call...even though he lives next door. Two years of avoidance, misunderstanding, and awkwardness. Thankfully, an epic blizzard arrives to solve this problem, show these two that they made for each other, and move this relationship towards its logical conclusion...romance and love. Sorority house mom, Becca, is quirky, fun, but unlucky at love. Football coach, Harrison, is grumpy, closed off, and a bit unsure of himself. Together, they've done a great job of hiding their true feelings from each other for far too long and, in turn, avoiding what we all know will be their epic love story. When Mother Nature brings them together, with the need to snuggle up by the fire to avoid freezing, the sparks begin to fly as is to be expected. But this book also had some unexpected depth. I enjoyed watching Becca help Harrison face his issues and helping him see his own strength. This was truly a fun story and, although I read it in August, I was happy to be "snowed in" with these two and to experience their happily ever after.

Becca - a quirky, colorful, dedicated to owning her vibe, sorority house mom. She’s got a penchant for hot chocolate, patterns, knitting, and reading. She DOES NOT have a penchant for the (sexy) man next door who ghosted her after their first date (like every other guy who thinks she too much). Harrison- the (sexy) man next door who ghosted Becca. College football coach, no-pictures-on-his-walls-havin, grump. With a fortress around his heart 20 ft high, fresh-ish out of a bad breakup and NO CHRISTMAS TREE. I think you get where this is going - grumpy X sunshine anyone ? Except there is in fact NO actual sunshine (besides Becca)…

A Snowpocalypse of epic proportions hits their midwestern town and a broken window and power outage ends up with Becca @ Harrison’s house before she freezes to death. They’ll just ride it out as Blizzard Buddies … and maybe create some of their own heat.

First, I don’t know who formatted this book -but the SNOWFLAKES on each chapter heading and section breaks - they deserve a raise - such a cute touch. Second, Jaqueline SNOWE?!?- obviously destined to write a snowy romance. Anyway, I really enjoyed reading this for a couple reasons. Banter & internal dialogue gets me every time- I love the back and forth externally and internally. It had a ton of romance tropes I love, a FMC who was unabashedly herself and encourages others to do the same (think: Fizzy), and a bit of spice. Lastly, while not a main focus, I LOVE a portrayal of sibling bonds and this one did not disappoint there either!

If you love: Grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, a TOUCH of sports, strong FMC working through her insecurities, building others up, and generally just being a BOSS, and banter this is for you!

This book had some sweet moments but I struggled to get into it. Such a great premise. Just not the one for me.

Thank you for the chance to read an advance copy.

As always, that you for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review!
Cute and cozy little Romance. I enjoyed the book for what it was.
What you read as the summary is exactly what you get in the book.
Definitely a sunshine/grumpy trope.
Not my exact cup of tea but I think that there are many people out there who will find this book very charming.

Becca is a house mom at sorority and helps 50 young women with moving away from home and they all love her. Though she loves her job, she is glad to be getting a two week break for Christmas when all the young women head home. A big storm is coming and she wakes up one morning with now heat and now power. Her grumpy neighbour, Harrison, checks on her and invites her to stay at his place, where he has a fireplace. She packs a bag, and heads over to his place. Even though Harrison ghosted her two years ago after a single date and amazing kiss, they agree to become "blizzard buddies" and they both start to understand each other a bit better.

I really liked the story line of Becca and her being herself and coming to terms with the fact that she doesn't need to change herself for a partner. Yes, she is quirky and a bit of a hot mess at times, but I think we all are to some degree. I liked how Harrison really fell for her because of who she was, not asking her to change and not loving her "in spite of" her quirks.

I did struggle with Harrison and his reasons for ghosting Becca two years ago. He at least owed her a phone call, or a chat that it was a him issue, not her. He eventually managed to get me over to his side when we started to see changes in him with both Becca and his football team.

These two did have some good banter and some great chemistry. You could tell they really were attracted to each other, which led to some spicy moments. Overall, this was a great read you could cozy up with a cup of hot coca with. Thank you to NetGalley and Forever Publishing for a copy of this book. All opinions are 100% mine.
