WHEN THINGS SNOWBALL, CAN FROSTY FEELINGS THAW?

Lucy hasn't left the country in years. In fact, she's barely left Bristol's city limits. So, when the opportunity presents itself to join a work trip to the Swiss Alps, she's wary, especially when she learns that it will coincide with that weekend - the one that, eleven years ago, tore her world in two.

But how can she turn down an all-expense-paid trip to the snow-capped Alps? Lucy knows what Leo would say if he were still with her, and besides, she'll have her work husband, Jonno, there for emotional support.

What - or who - she didn't bank on, however, was moody (read: rude) Nate stepping in at the last minute. And what's worse, they're the only two in the group who don't ski, so they're stuck with each other . . . up the side of a mountain in the middle of a snowstorm.

With the weather closing in, an avalanche leaves them snowbound in an alpine bar with an eclectic cast of fellow refugees. But with roaring log fires and steaming mugs of glühwein (and maybe a shot or two of Jägermeister), it's a chance for Lucy and Nate to discover there might be more to one another than meets the eye.

Where will their mountainside adventure leave them when the snow finally melts?

Thank you to NetGalley and Headline for this ARC.

Lucy is 32 and works in an advertising agency with her best friend Jonno who has kept her upright since her twin brother Leo committed suicide 11 years ago. She juggles two lovers, Anthony and Marco, because she thinks that long term relationships aren't for her.

She has just agreed to a work trip with five of her colleagues to Zermatt in Switzerland, organised by a client who produces luxury condoms, even though she should be at home with her parents on the anniversary of Leo's death.

Then she gets snowed in with last-minute addition to the trip, taciturn work colleague Nate. They are stranded in a ski hut called Guntherhütte with owner Gunther, his wife Monica and daughter Chantal, Bee Gees tribute band Andrea and Felix as well as a Dutch gay couple called Alex and Willem, one of them being minor royalty, and the other a constantly filming influencer. Our nine make the best of it with food, lots of alcohol and singing, causing Lucy and Nate to grow closer.

Part Two deals with the fallout from the ski trip that changes quite a few lives and careers. I have to say that part was an unexpected delight. An ordinary story turned extraordinary. And finally, we have grand romantic gestures again. I thought they'd died out with 90s rom-coms!

First of all, I adored Lucy. She's a complex, strong and independent woman knowing her own mind, not a ditzy Bridget Jones type. She's sex-positive in a big way, so if she wants to just have a friend (or two) with benefits, she does and when she wants to express big feelings, she does that too.

I also loved Nate, the anxious but soft MMC, and Jonno, the male BFF who does not want to secretly get into her pants, because he has a lovely wife already, and was a delightful addition to the age old question whether men and women can just be friends. Plus, I laughed out loud at the Sasha twist!

What a fun, romantic and life-affirming read with well-rounded characters and a gorgeous cover. I loved this story and finished it in one sitting. I want it as a movie please. Highly recommended.

What a sweet and tasty five-star read. There are so many amazing characters that you meet along the way in this story, include a couple that will surprise you with twists and turns that will drop your jaw. Lucy was a complex one, you could understand where she was coming from, and she is a very independent lady, who knows her own mind, and that was a lovely thing to see, and I was so happy to see her and her mum interact, it added something extra to the story. Jonno and the Guntherhutte crew are all so well written, that you can’t help adoring them. Honestly, It also surprised me how much like Nate I am, I agree with the flying and the snow, so I adored him, and honestly I loved the way his story went, that surprised me, as I saw the same as everyone else at first, and I’m glad my view changed.

Firstly, thank you so much to Headline, Netgalley & Heidi for the opportunity to read Snowed In With You in exchange for honest feedback.

As a wee trigger warning, there are a couple of mentions of loss / mental health / dr*g use in the story.

Now, on to the review....

Oh my days! I absolutely LOVED this book from the first page all the way through to the end! I read it over 2 days & struggled to put it down for anything other than eating & sleeping!

It was a brilliantly paced story with lovable characters (especially Lucy, Jonno & Nate) and awesome humour, but there were also notes of vulnerability throughout it which endeared me to the characters even more & made them relatable.

Often with this genre, the story is predictable from start to finish, but there were a couple of wee twists that I didn't expect, which made it even more enjoyable!

I thoroughly enjoyed it & would highly recommend it to everyone as a cosy, funny, heartwarming read!
