Snowed In

Catherine Walsh Christmas Romcoms

By: Catherine Walsh

Narrated by: Colm Gleeson, Roisin Rankin

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 stop listening!

This book was unexpectedly fantastic

I was really looking for a cozy but not too cheesy holiday rom com, and oh my god this is now just one of my favorite books period. Such well written characters, good banter, and such genuine heart. The audiobook narrators are also AMAZING.

This book was such a Holiday treat!

Snowed In is a sweet, sexy, swoony listen . Aiden & Megan are a treat & the banter is amazing! The narration is on point. Give yourself an early Xmas gift and listen to Snowed In!
P.S. it was also fantastic re-visiting the Fitzpatrick Family again for Christmas.

Snow Balls & Christmas Balls!

Lovely follow up to Holiday Romance, bringing irresistible Irish characters together in family conflicts and love.

LOVE the dual narrators- more of this, please!

The dual narration made it so easy to get lost in the telling of this story

Gripping, delightful and addictive

Catherine Walsh has done it yet again! Snowed In was lovely, gripping, hard to put down, delightful and romantic. I was drawn into this wonderful book from the very first page. I always look forward to reading her books. Walsh never disappoints, she only dazzles!

Megan was a runaway bride and has not been back home since she left Isaac at the altar several years ago. But this year she is going home. Christian is heading home as well this Christmas. He dreads the looks his family gives him when he shows up alone. He saw Megan flee on the day she left Isaac at the altar. When Megan literally bumps into Christian in a pub, they begin talking about their current lives, their families, and the upcoming holiday. The plan to be each other's fake dates during the holiday.

Both main characters were likeable, witty, endearing and I rooted for both. Snowed In was an addictive fake dating/relationship holiday book. With romance, it is all about the journey for me and I loved the journey Walsh took her characters on. I love how nothing felt rushed or drawn out. Plus, this book had not only some funny moments but heart and soul. I loved how both characters had to not only deal with their individual family but with the others family members as well. This made for some funny and dramatic scenes. Plus, the setting! I love books that take place in wintery snowy places. The chill in the air gets me every time.

I had the pleasure of having both the book and audiobook for Snowed In. This made for a completely delightful reading experience! The narrators were fantastic and did a wonderful job of bringing this book to life. I enjoyed the drama, the humor, the witty banter, and the way the plot unfolded.

Gripping, delightful, well written, well thought out and hard to put down! I can’t wait to read what Catherine Walsh writes next!

I loved both families

This was a great book for my holiday romance reading at this time of year. Almost Hallmark sweetness with sex and drinking and swearing. Perfect!

Sweet and festive romance!

I enjoyed this book so much! The narrators did an excellent job. The story had a definite Christmas vibe and was very romantic. A perfect holiday read!

Loved this Winter Story!

Oh how I loved this book! I listened to it on Audible because, well, Irish accents and I couldn't get enough of it!

Megan left her golden-boy fiancé at the alter (and her hometown) "runaway-bride" style four years ago and hasn't returned home since! But, this Christmas she's heading back and she is dreading it; but, so is Christian, the perma-single, job-driven man from the same hometown as Megan, and coincidentally, the first to see her flee the scene on the day of her wedding. Equally unenthused, they draw up a pact to be each others fake dates for the holidays, how hard could it be?! Turns out, with meddling families, a small hometown, long standing hurts, new feelings, and a few nights snowed in at a cabin, a whole lot can go wrong...and, very, very right!

Catherine Walsh writes witty banter like no one else and, for the holidays, she wraps it up with a bit of emotion and some major swoon! The way Megan and Christian continually go to bat for each other regardless of the situations they come up against just made my insides a bit gooey and may have given me the heart eyes. I just adored this read and would highly recommend on audio or with your eyeballs! I don't think it HAS to be a holiday read, as I would consider it Christmas-Lite (with holiday vibes) .

Loved it

Megan and Christian pose as each other's fake dates to survive holiday gatherings with family. Faced with a snowbound cabin and constant togetherness, will Christmas magic transform their pretend affair into something real?

I loved this. It's funny and heartwarming with vibrant, relatable characters and an immersive plot. Megan and Christian are cute together, with strong chemistry. Now I have to go back and read Molly and Andrew's story! The book reminded me of Portia Macintosh, but with an Irish twist. The narration is well done.

Thanks, NetGalley and Bookouture, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Perfect holiday romance!

Loved every second! Screaming, crying, and kicking my feet through the whole thing! I loved Holiday Romance last year and I was so excited to read this one this year! It was perfect!
