Christmas Sweater Weather

August 1, 2024

Driving through a blizzard to join her brother and his fianc�e at a ski resort for their pre-wedding party, Charlotte ends up stuck in a snow drift on the side of the highway. Of course, it's Hayden, her brother's sexy best friend, who comes to her rescue. Charlott has spent the last three years avoiding him after she confessed her feelings for him and he rejected her, claiming to only view her as a sister. While that was a lie, Hayden had his reasons for the rejection, and becoming a single dad only made him more determined to leave Charlotte alone. Now they're stuck together for days at a Christmas wonderland resort and don't want to ruin the trip for their family and friends, especially the stressed-out engaged couple. Attempting to reestablish their friendship, they find that they definitely still have feelings for each other, but the reappearance of his baby's mother threatens their new relationship. VERDICT Snowe (Snowed in for Christmas) writes another delightful holiday romance full of charming characters and steamy scenes.--Melissa DeWild

Starred review from September 15, 2024
Charlotte Calhoun would do anything for her brother Christian. That includes hiding her hatred of skiing while spending a pre-wedding celebration with Christian and his fianc�e Penny at a snowy resort in the mountains. Charlotte has even reluctantly resigned herself to the fact that one of the other guests that weekend will be Christian's best friend, Hayden Porter. The same Hayden who romantically rejected a crush-stricken Charlotte three years ago. On one hand, spending more time with Hayden might provide Charlotte with the chance to rekindle the close friendship the two once enjoyed. On the other, staying in the friend zone might be a tad difficult, since Charlotte could swear Hayden has gotten even hotter than he was three years ago! Snowe (Snowed in for Christmas, 2023) deftly balances all of the Christmas cheer and festive fun she artfully layers into her latest fabulously fun contemporary romance with some tundra-melting love scenes and a welcome measure of delightfully snarky wit.

Snowe (Snowed in for Christmas) whisks readers to a cozy ski resort for this intoxicating brother’s best friend romance. Charlotte Calhoun has crushed on her brother Christian’s bff, Hayden Porter, for as long as she can remember Three years ago, she made her feelings known—only for Hayden to tell her he sees her as nothing more than a little sister. Now Charlotte must dodge Hayden at Christian’s destination bachelor party in the two weeks leading up to Christmas lest they get caught under the inconveniently ubiquitous mistletoe. Single father Hayden has no time for romance and knows Christian would hate him for sleeping with his sister, but he’s struggling to suppress his own long-ignored attraction to Charlotte. Maybe what they both need to cut the sexual tension is to get it out of their systems with a no-strings-attached fling—so long as Christian never finds out. There’s not much depth to these characters, but Charlotte’s humor proves a good match for Hayden’s broodiness, and the winter wonderland setting adds charm to their equally sweet and sexy romance. Snowe brings the feels.
