Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. I have chosen to write this honest review voluntarily and it reflects my personal opinion.
I expected this book to be a straightforward romance in the Mills and Boon genre. I found the writing style odd, such as using the word 'ocean' to describe a quantity of forest, 'direct boss' instead of line manager, and extremely repetitive, telling us many times that Mira worked in L.A., Benjamin Silver's residence was enormous, and that relationships between staff were not allowed. I did not enjoy the the repeated references to colour and religion, as though the author thought this was the only important thing about the characters. I thought Benjamin's lack of knowledge of his own home was ridiculously unrealistic - we are expected to believe he didn't know there were clothes for guests in a walk-in closet - does he not walk around the building, or is actually Buckingham palace with over 100 rooms?
This book wasn't for me.

An enjoyable romance - I really enjoy books where characters are stranded somewhere together - and I liked that the heroine was there for work reasons, as it made her feel more empowered. Rating 3* as although I enjoyed it I didn’t feel like the characters or plot would stay with me for very long

Mirium is required to fly out to visit her employer, Benjamin Silver over Hanukkah. She just wants to be as quick as possible so she can get back to her friends and enjoy her holiday. Unfortunately she gets snowed in with him. She sees the pared down version of him and realises he isn’t the ogre he portrays himself to be.

This is the first holiday romance that has been Hanukkah rather than Christmas themed. An enjoyable read. I enjoyed reading about the Jewish traditions.

When Mirium is forced to fly out to meet her boss Mr Silver at the start on her favourite Jewish holiday she just wants to get it over and done with and back to her friends to celebrate but when a storm comes in she finds herself trapped by the snow and all alone with the elusive Benjamin Silver, but the more time they spend together she finds herself getting beneath his walls and getting to see the real Ben and finds herself falling in love with her against the rules boss

Snowbound In Her Boss's Bed is really slow to get started but once it gets going then wow. So it's one to stick with, Has some interesting mentions of Judaism which if your not familiar with means you learn about it while reading. A nice story.

Interesting romance with a strong Jewish theme, a feisty Miri is appealing and professional with the rich Benjamin a mixture of power and fear. Mia is a great lead with a rounded and great character, the traditions of Judaism are mixed into angst of a family not understanding you as well as love and loss,

Sorry, I hate being so critical of this author’s work, but this story was unbelievably boring. I kept waiting for it to get started, to begin to interest me, excite me, involve me. I’m still waiting! Somehow, everything was stilted, turgid and slow. Neither the heroine nor the hero came across as rounded, three dimensional people.

I was gifted an advanced reader copy, courtesy of Mills and Boon and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I have read this author before and I know she can write entertaining stories with interesting characters, but this was disappointing.

The heroine, Miri, arrives at a billionaire’s cabin in Colorado to report on her preparation for a Gala. They talk. They each think lots and lots - so loudly that you can hear them. Then they talk some more but mainly there is a lot of thinking. I think she’s meant to be feisty and sassy but just comes across as rude and unprofessional.

There’s a strong physical attraction, and they eventually succumb, (after lots more talking). The snowstorm lasts a long time so they have lots of sex, both agreeing they’ll stop once the storm ends because they can’t possibly carry on as it will break the foundation’s rules. (I kind of lost the will to live by this point.)

Finally Benjamin says he wants them to carry on seeing each other. She has a hissy fit and claims he doesn’t respect her and starts to leave in a helicopter, but Benjamin runs outside, attracts her attention and asks her to marry him. She says yes.

I felt no real emotion, no credible tension, no deep rooted angst.

Sorry this was not my cup of tea.
