Three all-new holiday novellas about couples finding love while trapped together in the snow.

Stranded in the Snow (Holiday Acres, Book 2) by Noelle Adams

Olivia Holiday doesn't expect to spend the weekend stranded in a romantic cottage during a snowstorm with the one man she dislikes the most. Scott is a player and holds a grudge against her family, and she's determined not to give in to the deep feelings for him she's been hiding.

A Christmas Rescue (Silver Bell Falls, Book 4) by Samantha Chase

Saving a litter of puppies right before Christmas was incredibly rewarding for Bailey Walsh. But getting snowed in with her sexy-yet-grinchy veterinarian boss turns out to be rewarding in a whole other way.

Love on the Edge of Reason (Pine Harbour, Book 8) by Zoe York

Tom Minelli doesn't know why Chloe Davis has fled Pine Harbour, but she's pregnant with his baby and he wants her back. But a winter storm rolls in just as he finds her, trapping them together in a cabin on the lake.

My Review:

I received a free copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review/opinion.

Overall: 4 stars — It seems for me that I always end up liking the first book the best…but I’m probably misremembering.  That was definitely the case here though!  It started off really strong, but all the books were solid Christmas reads.  It was interesting to see how each author took the “snowed in together” trope and made it their own.

Stranded in the Snow (Holiday Acres #2) by Noelle Adams

4.5 stars — I was easily invested in Scott and Olivia, it surprised me a bit.  I tend to be wary of enemies to lovers tropes, and since this one was based on a lot of misunderstandings and assumptions I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it (because I hate the assumptions game).  I think I was just surprised by both characters, in the best way, and I couldn’t help but love them both.  I was surprised by a lot of the things we learned about Scott’s past, and it made my heart hurt for him.  My heart also ached for Olivia and the childhood stigma’s she was still struggling with.  Basically it had more depth than I was expecting, characters that I connected with, and the romantic chemistry was solid.  I’ll definitely be looking for the other books in this series!

A Christmas Rescue (Silver Bell Falls #4) by Samantha Chase

3.75 stars — There was so much I enjoyed about this book, cute characters, interesting backstory.  But I couldn’t get over how genuinely annoyed Gavin was with Bailey’s chatty personality.  I never really got the impression that he figured out that his attitude was clouding it.  I don’t know.  It’s a silly thing to get hung up on.  But every time I would be enjoying their chemistry, I would get hit by a moment where one or the other really didn’t like the other.  But, bonus: puppies!

Love on the Edge of Reason (Pine Harbour #8) by Zoe York

3.5 stars — I don’t think I quite understood Chloe’s hangups…like I got them to a point, but not to the degree she pushed Tom away.  They were kind of a strange couple.  I wonder if it’s partly that the short novella form hindered us getting background on them.  Basically it was a cute Christmas story, but it didn’t blow me away.  And I wouldn’t have minded an epilogue to find out how things went.  Also, this was one had the poorest editing.
