The Plot (from Goodreads):
Sorority mom Becca Fairfield is used to guys not taking her seriously. She’s too blond, too quirky, or Just. Too. Much. So she’s ditched dating to focus on her job and a house filled with drama and plenty of tea. Now with the holidays and a major blizzard on her doorstep, Becca has everything she needs to survive the next two weeks on her own. Hot cocoa, plenty of books . . . and the memory of a steamy kiss with a certain sexy, grumposaurus next-door neighbor to keep her warm.
Only Becca’s seriously underestimated this Snowpocalypse. So when the power goes out and Harrison Cooper—football coach, master crank, and the guy who acted mega-awkward after said steamy kiss—offers her shelter, it only makes sense to accept. They’ll just be Blizzard Buddies. Hang out, stay safe, and maybe indulge in a little R-rated cuddling . Becca knows that Harrison isn’t the dating kind, and what happens during the storm lasts only as long as the storm. But are they keeping warm . . . or playing with fire?
My Review:
Snowed In for Christmas by Jaqueline Snowe
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?
