Snowed Under book review

 

This is a book that I wish I had read sooner, I could not put it down at all. It was such a fun romance book that was super escapeable and had characters I quickly fell in love with. 


Snowed Under follows Madeline who since losing her brother and taking in his two kids feels like she has lost who she is and Cooper who agrees to be interviewed by a family magazine to bring attention to his families ski-lodge but is missing a wife and kids. For Madeline whose Mum keeps nagging her to get a boyfriend and Cooper who needs a fake family they both have what the other needs but they find there is more to both of their stories and gradually their fake relationship blurs into something real. 


As I already mentioned I could not put this book down, I wanted to see how Madeline and Cooper’s relationship would develop and just spend time with these characters who I was really starting to love. 


These characters were so great to follow, Madeline and Cooper were really interesting and I wanted to learn more about them from early on. They both had so much to their stories that made them people that I wanted to support and the best for instead of more challenges, they had been through so much and just deserved happiness along with feeling like they were the perfect character for each other.
Charlie and Piper were so much fun to follow too. They both added so much to the story and at times made me both smile so much and feel really worried about them. It was really interesting to see Cooper and Charlie’s relationship develop throughout the book. I really liked seeing how Cooper was there for Charlie no matter what happened with Madeline and their relationship was just really special to read about. Piper made me smile so much and was a great character that I wanted to see as much of as possible.
The side characters were also really well-developed and interesting to learn more about. I loved spending time with Cooper’s mum, Lora, and I cannot wait to go back and read Olive and Finn’s book. 


The romance was one with complexities but it was also one that I supported from early on. I wanted to spend as many scenes as I could with Madeline and Cooper, and with the kids too. I smiled so much while reading and just wanted to keep reading as much as I could. I would have been happy if the book had never ended. Instead I got through this book so quickly and had a great time doing so. 


I will definitely keep reading more Juliana Smith as the year goes on because I had a fantastic time with this one and can see myself giving her a five star rating with a book in the future. This is a book that I will definitely be recommending and am so glad that I finally got around to reading. 


Thank you to Netgalley and Juliana Smith for a free e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

The Match book review

  Back in April I was recommended my first Sarah Adams book and really enjoyed it however it wasn’t my favourite type of romance book so when I saw this one had been rereleased and was 99p on Kindle I knew that I needed to read it.  The Match follows Evie who works for a company that trains service dogs to help people with all sorts of disabilities after her life was changed when she got a service dog to help with her epilepsy and when she meets Jacob when trying to convince him how much a service dog would help his daughter she begins to fall for him and his small family.  This was such a light brilliant romance that I just wanted to read and continue to be immersed in the story for as long as I could. I loved all of our major characters particularly Evie, Jacob and Sam (Jacob's daughter). Sam just added the best things to the story and the romance going on between Evie and Jacob. She was also a brilliant character on her own that you really felt for and you just underst...

The Mistletoe Motive book review

  I discovered Chloe Liese for the first time this year and have since May read her entire backlist and loved all of them. The Mistletoe Motive was no exception to this and another one I read within 24 hours.  Over the course of The Mistletoe Motive we get to know Gabrielle and Jonathan who have worked together at Bailey’s Bookshop for about a year but don’t find themselves getting along. They have recently learned that the bookshop is at risk of closing though and set a challenge of whoever sells the least books in December has to resign and through this challenge Gabrielle meets a new side of Jonathan that she didn’t expect.  This is a novella of under 200 pages so while going in I knew I love Chloe Liese as an author I wasn’t sure what I would think of it with it being so short and having less time with the characters. However I was not at all let down by this book and absolutely loved reading it.  Gabrielle was a character I connected to from early on in the stor...

It Only Happens in the Movies book review

  I have previously loved Holly Bourne books but found that I wasn’t the biggest fan of the one I read in 2024 so was a bit anxious going into It Only Happens in the Movies however I had no need for that anxiety because this book was exactly what I wanted and more.  It Only Happens in the Movies follows Audrey who is over romance after her parents divorce that has left her stuck in the middle, a tough break up and teenage friendship struggles. When she starts a new job and meets Harry, Audrey tries to stay away however she can’t help falling for him even if she knows she shouldn’t.  When I first started I was unsure about the book with the elements of romance however I was pleasantly surprised. Holly Bourne built up a character who I understood and felt relatable. The book had the expected message present in almost all Holly Bourne books which made the story more impactful and me wanting to keep reading to see how things worked out.  All the characters were well-deve...
