Snowed In by Catherine Walsh

4.0

Writing: solid | Plot: cute | Ending: yay! | 4.5 rounded down

SYNOPSIS

Megan is dreading returning to her small village where she's known as the runaway bride who ruined her ex's life. Christian is also not jazzed about going home, albeit for less dramatic reasons. To solve each other's problems, they agree to fake date BECAUSE OF COURSE WHAT OTHER SOLUTION IS THERE??????

MY OPINION

[b:Holiday Romance|61401417|Holiday Romance|Catherine Walsh|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1657109678l/61401417._SY75_.jpg|96871836] remains my all-time fave Christmas romcom but Snowed In comes pretty close to it. Btw Snowed In features cameos of Molly and Andrew from Holiday Romance, so I advise reading that one first so you can fully enjoy their storyline in this one.

Like Holiday Romance, this book is legitimately funny and the characters have great chemistry. This was definitely in-line with most contemporary romances today: Christian was THAT dude with money who was protective and there was wide-open door spice. I can't remember if Holiday Romance also featured the word 'clit', but I feel like it didn't? Anyways, this book definitely does.

I loved Christian; I'm always a sucker for a good looking dude with a questionable past who gets his shit together. He's thoughtful, supportive, and best of all—attentive. The epitome of "if he wanted to, he would!" Megan, I'm happy to be your sister wife should the situation arise.

The reason this wasn't 5 stars was because I couldn't really get a handle on Megan. If you asked me to describe her personality, my brain would short circuit. Trying to picture her in my head was like the first time I heard cats having sex outside my college dorm and I thought they were fighting. But then I was like oh... no they're IN LOVE???? Megan was demure yet sassy yet shy yet horny yet IDK. It didn't quite fit but so be it.

Other than Megan's identity crisis, I LOVED the vibes of this book. It's a quick, bingeable read that made me feel all the things. Thankfully, NO THIRD ACT BREAKUP. I enjoyed the other storylines as well: Christian and his daddy issues, Megan fixing her bad rep, Molly and Andrew's next steps... Just good times all around. ENJOY BOOKSTAHOES!!!!

PROS AND CONS

Pros: legitimately funny, fast-paced, good tension and chemistry, a lil spice for ya'll feral horndogs, Molly and Andrew!!!!!!!, I just know Christian smells GOOD, great subplots

Cons: Megan's personality was all over the place – couldn't really figure her out
