First, I would like to thank Love Notes PR and the author for providing me with a free advanced review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
“It had been seven years and three days since I’d had her this close. And yes, I’d kept track of each day, regret only piling on over time.” (p. 124)
Tropes:
holiday romance
second-chance romance
brother’s best friend
off-limits romance
snowed in
only one bed
forced proximity
A tender, sweet, and steamy second-chance romance
After confessing that he slept with Nick’s sister Stella, Nick gives Alden an ultimatum: stay away from Stella or lose their friendship forever. Seven years later, Stella is newly single following a toxic relationship. When her grandmother asks for help preparing for a snowstorm, the last person Stella expects to find at Amma’s house is the man who broke her heart. And when the storm comes early, leaving Amma stranded at her neighbor’s house, Stella and Alden are forced to ride out the storm–and Christmas–together.
Snow Struck is a touching second-chance romance. Stella and Alden’s insecurities and emotions are raw, but Alden’s steadfast endeavors to build up Stella’s confidence and make her realize her worth are tender and swoon-worthy. It is a very fast read–feeling more like a novella–as well as predictable, but it captured all the cozy vibes I had been hoping for.
