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.

Make My Wish Come True book review

  I have been a massive Rachael Lippincott fan for almost 4 years and always get so excited when she announces a new YA book. I was especially excited when she announced this one as it is a festive romance and I am also a festive romance lover.  This was a book I read throughout December and absolutely loved doing so. The romance was brilliant and included all the festive feels which I always look for in a festive book but isn’t always delivered on.  Make My Wish Come True follows Arden, a teen actor, who is determined to get a role so with her publicist lies that she is dating her childhood best friend, Caroline, who agrees to play along and write an article about their twelve holiday dates. However, as they begin spending time together again, old feelings begin to resurface.  Even while I read less and less YA romance as the years go by, Rachael Lippincott (and Alyson Derrick now) is an author I can always trust to deliver on the romance in a way that I enjoy and a...

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...

The Tanglewood Bookshop book review

  This was my first Christmas read of the Year and it was a great one to kick off with. Once I was hooked I couldn't stop reading and ending up binging almost 200 pages in one day. I loved so many of the characters and the setting was so cosy, and ideal for a book lover.  The Tanglewood Bookshop follows Kazz who on the same day learns she has lost her job, is being evicted and her mum is moving to Spain so she decides to visit her best friend who owns a Tea Shop in the small Welsh village of Tanglewood. Where she is given the chance to open a Bookshop and meets Saul who is happy to show her around but she has been told doesn't have the best reputation.  This was a fantastic cosy Christmas read and it included so many things I love about festive books. The characters were the ideal book lovers to follow and as a book lover reading about book lovers is always a great experience. It was also nice that compared to many other book lovers whose lives revolve around books (which...
