Snowed In by Catherine
Walsh
Genre : Contemporary Romance
Megan is dreading going home for the holidays. She’s the village
pariah, the she-devil who left local golden boy Isaac at the altar
four years ago and ran away to the big city. She could really do
without the drama. Particularly as he’s engaged again, and she’s
just been dumped for the fourth time this year.
Christian’s fed up of being on his own every Christmas. He doesn’t
mind being alone , but he hates his family’s sad eyes and soft tones
as they sit around coupled up. Because he’s actually, totally, fine.
So when Megan literally bumps into Christian in a Dublin pub, they
come up with a pact to see them through the holiday season. They’re
going to be the very best fake dates for each other, ever .
Rules are drawn up, a contract is signed on a wine-stained napkin.
They will sit through each other’s family gatherings and be
outrageously in love until freed from their annual obligations.
After all, it’s only for a few weeks.
But with everyone home for the holidays, two big families to deal
with alongside old friends, old flames and old feelings, things are
bound to get messy. And when a snowed-in cabin and a little
Christmas magic are added to the mix, anything could happen…
A swoonworthy and utterly gorgeous romantic comedy that will make
you laugh out loud and fall completely in love. Fans of Emily
Henry, Sophie Kinsella and Abby Jimenez won’t be able to put this
down!

I don't think I've had this much fun reading a book in a long time and this was exactly what I needed!😆
Megan hasn't gone back to her hometown in five years after running out on her fiance(who was the town's favorite) on their wedding day. So, when she bumps into her school friend Christian at a Dublin bar, he comes up with the perfect plan to get through the holidays - they return together to their hometown while pretending to date each other! Megan will have the buffer that she needs when she meets old friends and attends her mom's yearly fundraiser, and Christian will have a respite from the sympathetic eyes of his 'coupled-up' family members. With such an excellent plan, nothing could go wrong right?😆😂
This was so much fun and it's probably my fave holiday romance from this year. It was sweet, funny and touching, while not being too trope-y either. The relationship development between Megan and Christian felt very natural and effortless - from acquaintances to friends to fake dates and something more, while maintaining the attraction between them. Both of them were excellent characters individually and I loved watching them reconnect with their families while falling for each other. And another thing that surprised me pleasantly was the steam 😆(can't judge a book's steaminess with the illustrated covers these days😂). I loved watching Megan grow and confront her controlling ex - who was pretty good at hiding everything under a good guy persona. And Christian always had her back! Also, bonus points for the lack of third act drama!❣️✨
Anyway, I think you should definitely read this one if you're looking for a fun holiday romance that has the right amount of everything!
