I’m a new Leonie Mack fan but she never disappoints.
This was no exception. The romance was perfect and as always, the outdoorsy themes were great too.

❤️ A Winter Wedding Adventure by Leonie Mack ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you enjoy these tropes:
✨ Grumpy and Sunshine (she is the grumpy one, he falls first!!!)
✨ Forced Proximity and Opposites Attract
✨ Snowy setting
✨ Romantic Comedy
✨ Love the style of Emily Henry, Lindsey Kelk and Sarah Morgan
Then this one is definitely for you! 💕

I’ve got the sweetest winter romcom for you! The second book in the Wedding Adventures Series, A Winter Wedding Adventure, is finally OUT!!!

After the first book of the series, An Italian Wedding Adventure, this one brings us another heartwarming story, a winter story. If you haven’t read the first book yet, while the sun is still scorching our skin and the rains haven’t started, I definitely recommend giving Sophie and Andreas a chance too. FYI, each book in the series can be read as a standalone, so it doesn’t really matter which one you begin with.

Regarding the book, Kira & Mattia’s story is so sweet and so peaceful that the attraction and chemistry between them can be felt right from the beginning of the book. I remember smiling on almost every page while reading. The story never feels repetitive or boring, on the contrary, you feel a craving for more. I also liked the author’s writing style, it is both funny and it is both funny and well-crafted. This also makes the reading experience enjoyable.

I absolutely love these cartoon covers for romance novels and romcom books written in my favorite seasons (Winter & Fall) excite me even more. I would recommend this book if you are looking for a romance, especially in the -ber months. Normally, I start reading these kinds of books in November, but Boldwood Romance's books are so timeless and full of hope that it can be enjoyed in any season. ❄️🎄

In other words, do yourself a favor and give this book a chance this winter with a cup of hot chocolate, wrapped in a thick blanket. Trust me, you won’t regret it. You can also find it on Kindle Unlimited!!!

This is an ARC review. I appreciate receiving this copy from NetGalley and the publisher in return for an honest review.

We are just entering spooky season and I found myself skipping ahead and reading and enjoying this story of a winter wedding adventure. Filled with the beauty and difficulties of winter weather it is the story of two very different characters, Kira an adventure guide, and Mattia an opera singer, that are thrown together for a wedding. Kira is prepared for just about any adventure but wedding preparations and how she feels when she’s around Mattia has her confused and questioning herself. Mattia also finds himself questioning things he always thought to be true about himself and his life. Can these two very different people find a way to be together? I liked the way Kira and Mattia brought out the best in each other and accepted each other as they are. This acceptance allows each of them to start to accept themselves and start to figure out what they truly want. The winter mountain setting provided a beautiful backdrop for the story. Plus I always find a wedding to be full of interesting hiccups and situations that hold my attention and capture my emotions. This is part of a series but can be read and enjoyed as a standalone. I am looking forward to reading more wedding adventures in this series.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this ARC.

This is the second in the Wedding Adventures series. The first book saw a merger between Great Heart Adventures and I Do Destinations. Kira Watling, 31, from Great Heart Adventures has been tasked with getting opera singer Mattia, 27, from Salzburg to the wedding of his best friend Alessandra in the Tyrol mountains. Mattia has a sound sensitivity disorder and swears impressively in Italian. He falls for Kira at an insane speed but she is more reserved, owing to a trauma to do with her own aborted wedding.

Andreas and Sophie from the first book make a guest appearance but this can be read as a standalone. I remembered blue-haired Kira from the first book where I didn't especially warm to her, but here her background is explored a bit more and she comes across as more likeable, but with a huge dent in her self-esteem. The book employs the forced proximity, grumpy / sunshine and he falls first tropes, with a heroine that needs to be thawed out as much as the chalet after an avalanche.

Salzburg is beautiful and romantic so I think an opportunity has been missed to utilise the setting. We get no sense of the city apart from the fact it has a Christmas market in December.
Also, there is a lot of assumption that the reader knows the Italian and German that is sprinkled throughout. However, I liked the Alpine chalet setting and the reclaimed wedding. If you like second chance romances that feature weddings, mountains and a lot of snow, this is for you.

I have a feeling that the next book in this series will be about Ginny and Rhys. Let's see whether I'm proved right!

3.5 stars

I didn't enjoy A Winter Wedding Adventure all too much.

Now, don't get me wrong, I loved the setting. Leonie Mack really excelled in setting up the scene and filling it with all the best christmassy and winter vibes. But I had major issues with the main characters, Mattia and Kira.

I just didn't see the chemistry. Kira was annoying to read; a bit of a moper and with little charm, she inspired not much love from me. Mattia read young and immature. Tons of puppy dog energy that in this case, didn't work for me. Of course, some may like this sunshine and grumpy reversal trope, but I never "believed" their attraction to one another. Sometimes I pictured them more as an older sister and younger brother at times, which is not what you want in a romance novel. They both punctured annoyances in me.

It still has plenty to be liked about it. I just couldn't get past the dynamics of the two characters. I never bought into them.

I enjoyed reading A Winter Wedding Adventure by Leonie Mack. You will fall in love with all the characters. I received an ARC of this book courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions expressed in this review are my own and given freely. Happy Reading!

I really enjoyed this book. The FMC was hard on the outside and soft on the inside. Very relatable characters overall. The pace was good. It was funny and an easy read. I look forward to reading more by this author. Thank you for the opportunity to read this arc.

A Winter Wedding Adventure by Leonie Mack is a sweet feel-good romance.
I loved this book, which exceeded my expectations. It’s a fun & ultimately optimistic story about love & second chances.
The chemistry was vibrant and the feelings were bubbling!

Thank You NetGalley and Boldwood Books for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

Who doesn't love a bookcation? When you get to take a trip to the snowy mountains while living in the Texas heat of the summer, I say yes. I always love a winter/Christmas story. While I am not a skier myself, I always love to read about others adventures, while I stay inside with a cup of hot chocolate. The setting was magical—Christmas markets, throw in a must need snowbound delay, and a wedding that has so many laugh out loud disasters. more than its fair share of disasters.
The main characters are Kira and Mattia and they both have their own baggage :) Kira is cautious, grounded in nature and Mattia with his eccentric charm. I enjoyed the banter. Add forced proximity, playful moments, and the amazing setting of the snowy mountains. The wedding agency backdrop continues to shine—once again pulling off impossible situations with flair. I did not realize this was the second book in a series, so I need to go back to read book one and I am looking forward to book three. Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy, make sure to add this to your TBR when you are ready for a winter escape.

A Winter Wedding Adventure by Leonie Mack ❄️

Okay, this book was EXACTLY what I needed for the holiday mood 🎄✨ A wedding on New Year’s Eve? Drama guaranteed. Add some snow, family chaos, and sparks flying… and boom, I couldn’t put it down.

Kira is this badass mountain guide—hiking, climbing, skiing (I don’t ski but hey, I climb and hike, so I totally felt her vibe 💪). The funny part? She hates weddings (long story, bad past experience), yet here she is… working as a wedding planner. Life has jokes. 😂

Enter Matias—the bride’s childhood friend. Of course she doesn’t want to get involved. Of course she can’t resist him. And honestly… SAME. He’s adorable, charming, and totally worth breaking your “no wedding, no romance” rules for. 🥴💘

The slow burn? Chef’s kiss. Leonie really knew how to keep me hooked—drama, romance, comedy, all sprinkled with festive chaos. I was smiling, swooning, and low-key screaming at the characters to just admit their feelings already.

Definitely picking up the rest of the series now because I NEED more of these couples. Perfect book to read with a hot chocolate and Christmas lights twinkling in the background.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 (because I loved it, but also I had to yell at them too much 😆)

Happy release day, Leonie! This one goes straight to my festive recs 🎉

What a lovely book, the MMC was gentle, kind, clumsy, clueless in certain environments and yet was open about his feelings and character traits that some people wouldn't understand, the FMC however was strong and had a physically demanding job, she had built walls to protect here heart and wasn't ready to let them down, until this sweet and talented opera singer came along.

I don't know why I was not a fan of this read. There were some parts that were funny and I loved the tension between these two, but I know I was not the only one annoyed with Mattias. This Grumpy-Sunshine is a different one, where the Grumpy is the Kira and the Sunshine is Mattias, and I felt it made him so annoying to me lol (I can't stop saying that word lol.) We get to understand why Kira is a grumpy and what happened to her, and I was like "wow it took up to 70% for that to happen." This book was not for me.

Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

My sincere thanks to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read A Winter Wedding Adventure by Leonie Mack. I give my unbiased opinion of it in the following review.

In this book, we revisit the new adventure and destination wedding company introduced in An Italian Wedding Adventure. This time we find Kira helping with a wedding in the Alps. She is to pick up an opera singer in Salzburg and get him to the wedding without incident. Well, easier said than done. It appears that Mattia is a little accident prone and the bride who has been his friend since childhood is extra protective of his sensitive heart. Add a lot of snow, an avalanche warning, and her aversion to weddings in general and Kira has her work cut out for her. Oh, and how was she to know she had a weakness for opera music and dark-haired opera boys?

I really liked this book. Kira was a prickly character with a soft center, and I loved that the first time she heard Mattia sing her center got even softer. They are very different from one another, but that made their romance more interesting. Both characters grow over the course of the book. They learn that they are more than what their friends perceive them to be. Mattia is a strong capable, grown man and he gains so much confidence in himself while those around him take notice as well. Kira allows herself to be vulnerable rather than hiding on a rock-climbing outing. Both Kira and Mattia's friend groups show their worth by stepping up and supporting them at the right time. A Winter Wedding Adventure releases on September 2nd. I hope many will pick it up. FYI you do not need to read book one to understand what is happening in this book.

Open door with mild details.

I really like this one it’s a romantic book!! Perfect for Emily Henry fans and Sarah Morgan fans!!

Tropes: ❄️ Forced proximity (snowed in) ❄️ Opposites attract ❄️ Grumpy sunshine (she is grumpy) ❄️ He falls first ❄️ Snowy meet cute

Adventure guide Kira Watling is not a natural with guest lists and flower arranging...

But the destination wedding agency she works for always goes above and beyond. And it’s her job to escort an important guest from Salzburg to the venue, a gorgeous chalet nestled in the mountains. It should be simple, but an overnight delay due to heavy snowfall leaves her stuck in close quarters with her very handsome, very eccentric charge, Italian opera singer Mattia.

Clumsy, yet sensitive, Mattia is unlike anyone Kira has ever met. Spending an evening exploring the Christmas markets and then making their way through the snow-covered mountains to the wedding the following day, Mattia gets under Kira’s skin in a way no one else has. They can’t ignore the very unexpected attraction, but Kira has a job to do. And whilst Mattia is open to love, bitter life experience has taught Kira to guard her heart.

Continually thrown together by wedding disasters, Kira finds her resistance to commitment sorely challenged by growing feelings for the charming Mattia – and the determination of the bridal party to make these snowbound nuptials a success. But can there be a future for a tough outdoor guide and an opera singer when the snow is finally cleared?

Escape to the snowy mountains with Leonie Mack for a gorgeous, snowbound feel-good romance!

A wedding… snow… this book has it all. What a wonderful book that wasn't easy to put down. Loved it!

I struggled with this one. The story and setting are quite fun, and I enjoyed the writing. I struggled with the characters, though. I couldn't connect or relate to either of them. Mattia seems unable to function in the world, and while I don't need a romantic hero to be strong and in control at all times, I don't find the need to mother someone as attractive. Kir,a on the other hand, is prickly, and I just couldn't warm to her. I'm sure other people will love this romance, but it wasn't for me.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own and given voluntarily.

This was very cute! I loved the snowed-in setting of Austria and the background of the wedding drama. I found the characters to be very unique, with the adventurer guide meets opera singer. Though Mattia and Kira are absolute complete opposites, like actually so different that it took me a bit to believe them as a couple, but by the end of the book, I was sold!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Thanks to the Publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.

Another fabulous book by Leonie Mack.

Two organisations have come together - the wedding planners and outdoor specialists to help with a wedding that has a lot to get past before the big day.

We met Kira in the last book, but we find out more about her in this one. She is given the job of taking care of Mattia, who is a close friend of the bride. He is an opera singer.

They both arrive at the venue where everyone attending the wedding is staying and things start to unravel, especially when his ex is also in attendance. For Kira, she finds out that her ex is also attending the wedding, and we get to understand why she comes across the way she does.

The story had a lot happening, which kept you turning the pages, not wanting it to end. I loved the characters and the setting.

I highly recommend this book.

This is the second book in a series, but can be read as a standalone.

Kira, an adventure guide, is in charge of getting Mattia, an opera singer, to his best friends wedding location, but things don't go as planned. Due to a lot of unforeseen circumstances, this wedding is a challenge from the beginning.

Mattia has misophonia which played a part in his former breakup and Kira refuses to get close to anyone after suffering a traumatic heartbreak. These two seem like an unlikely pair, but somehow the author makes their romance totally believable and you can see they are destined to be together.

The author paints a winter wonderland, with beautifully described scenes and background throughout the book. I found myself wishing I was in a chalet in the middle of nowhere snowed in.

If you're looking for a quick cozy wintery read, I recommend this book/series!

Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for an ARC of this book.

This is such a cute winter story for the cozy nights! It definitely made me feel like I was in the mountains. Kira and Mattia are my new favourite couple, it definitely was an emotional rollercoaster at times, but definitely worth it!
