Three all-new holiday novellas about couples finding love while trapped together in the snow.
Stranded in the Snow (Holiday Acres, Book 2) by Noelle Adams
Olivia Holiday doesn't expect to spend the weekend stranded in a romantic cottage during a snowstorm with the one man she dislikes the most. Scott is a player and holds a grudge against her family, and she's determined not to give in to the deep feelings for him she's been hiding.
A Christmas Rescue(Silver Bell Falls, Book 4) by Samantha Chase
Saving a litter of puppies right before Christmas was incredibly rewarding for Bailey Walsh. But getting snowed in with her sexy-yet-grinchy veterinarian boss turns out to be rewarding in a whole other way.
Love on the Edge of Reason(Pine Harbour, Book 8) by Zoe York
Tom Minelli doesn't know why Chloe Davis has fled Pine Harbour, but she's pregnant with his baby and he wants her back. But a winter storm rolls in just as he finds her, trapping them together in a cabin on the lake
Snowed in for Christmas is a collection of three holiday romances by author’s Noelle Adams, Zoe York, Samantha Chase. Each shares a story about a couple finding romance while trapped in the snow. While the books come from different series all but one works as a standalone romance. Place it on your nightstand and enjoy three nights of romance this holiday season.
Novellas are perfect for what I like to refer to “holiday crunch time.” You’ve got recitals, cookies to bake, company, presents to wrap and zero time to read. I can pick up an anthology or novella and enjoy a little romance each evening before bed. I love the trapped in snow trope and while I’ve read Samantha Chase, I was curious to try York and Adams.
- Stranded in the Snow (Holiday Acres, Book 2) by Noelle Adams -This was a cute, haters to lovers romance. While part of a series surrounding Holiday Acres and two families it will work as a standalone. The series put me in mind of the Hatfields and the McCoys. Friendship and disputes over land. Scott and Olivia were childhood friends, both crushed on the other and somehow that chemistry has turned into haters to lovers, I can’t stand you banter. When the two get trapped in the snow they seek shelter at guest cabin. Snow, sparks and a roaring fire await you….
- A Christmas Rescue (Silver Bell Falls, Book 4) by Samantha Chase- A grumpy Veterinarian, and a cookie baking receptionist bicker over holiday decorations and end up snowed in together after a dog rescue. Puppies, cookies, and fun between the sheets might just melt the Grinch’s heart. This was a fun, easy flowing romance with little drama and cute animals. I wouldn’t mind visiting Silver Bell Falls again.
- Love on the Edge of Reason (Pine Harbour, Book 8) by Zoe York – I felt a little out on the loop for this romance. It is a second chance romance, and it looks like perhaps the other books in the series share more of their story. Tom is trying to win her back after mistakes. I will admit I am curious enough to try this author and the series, both of which are new to me. As a standalone however, this fell short.
Reading this book contributed to these challenges:

Awwww the Christmas Rescue story sounds adorable! Who can’t like a guy who loves animals? LOL
Kimberly
Yep a man that likes kids and animals is a keeper.
Jen
Thanks! You have had some great reviews of holiday books lately. Now my ereader is full!
Kimberly
LOL. Mine too, I added more for next year’s #HoHoHoRAT
Adriana @ BooksOnHerMind
Aw! That’s too bad about Love on the Edge of Reason. I liked the summary the most. What can I say? I like drama lol. The snowed in concept reminds me of this Hallmark movie where this reporter’s car no longer works, she puts on a wedding dress to keep warm, and secretly spies on this politician’s sons family. As you can tell I’ve got Hallmark Christmas movies on my mind. Hope you enjoy more books by these authors in the future.
Kimberly
Ooo I saw that movie. I think the last one would have been better if I had read some of the series.
Rachel @Waves of Fiction
Novella are perfect for this time of year! I’ve enjoyed Noelle Adams in the past and I love the idea of being stuck together in a cabin while it snows away outside! 🙂
Kimberly
I love the snowstorm trope too!
Mary @StackingMyBookShelves!
My daughter loves multiple stories in one. I sometimes do if the stories are good. Then you can just keep going. Love the review!

Kimberly
I’ve discovered some awesome authors this way.

Kimberly
Yes, I want to try a few of the series featured in the anthology.
Suzanne @ The Bookish Libra
This sounds like a pretty fun anthology. The story with the puppies and the cookies caught my attention right away, lol.
Kimberly
Yes, it was a fun one and perfect for the season
Angela Adams
I love Christmas anthologies!!! Thanks for the post.
Kimberly
Me too. Thanks Angela
Stefanie

Pretty cover. Sounds like it made need to be read in order.
Kimberly
Just the one in the anthology at least in my opinion.
Nadene
I am so sorry that Love on the Edge of Reason did not go so well. I have read. Glad you enjoyed the other two.
Kimberly
Thanks Nadene!
Tracy Terry
Ooh! Not normally keen on novellas or books featuring cute puppies for that matter … That said I am reading a collection of Christmas stories, the first one of which featured, no, not cute puppies, but a cat so never say never.
Kimberly
LOL. Have a great week my friend.
Sophia Rose
I enjoy anthos with holiday romance novellas for the same reason. Quick and a full story at the same time. I have read Zoe York and Samantha Chase books and found them likeable. I think I might have a few of that Pine Harbor series, but I haven’t read them yet.
Kimberly
Good to know about York.
ShootingStarsMag
Novellas can be hit or miss, so I’m glad these worked for you. That’s good that they mostly all work as stand-alones too.

Kimberly
Yeah holiday reads are usually a safe bet.
Anne
I like these sorts of novellas to try out an author. It can be difficult though when it is part of a series you haven’t read. Some stand alone better than others; thanks for the information. Anne – Books of My Heart
Kimberly
Agreed. I will say I’ve discovered some awesome series and authors by sampling anthologies like this.

Thanks for these reviews, Kim! It’s tough to know sometimes if a holiday story connected to a series can standalone. This is very helpful.
Kimberly
Right. I always get nervous and I’ve been burned in the past..but this was pretty darn good and I love snow storm scenarios.
Melliane
What a good idea! CHristmas novellas!
Kimberly
It was fun. Thanks my friend.
Angela @ Simply Angela
I keep telling myself I’m not going to buy anymore Christmas books but now I have to have this one! lol It’s an addiction. Great review!
Kimberly
LOL. I didn’t get to read all the ones I bought but I am ready for next year!
Debbie Haupt
Bring on the hot cocoa, or Irish coffee in the pm and the Christmas stories 🙂 ah warm and fuzzies
Thanks Kim
kindlemom1
This sounds like it was a cute and quick read. Perfect for a small weekend getaway. 😉
Kimberly
Yes, this would be fantastic for that.
Ailyn Koay
so they are a book from different series? Wouldn’t it be confusing, or they work as a standalone
Kimberly
Yes, but they are standalone. You do get to meet other characters and discover the setting of the series.
