Angelica’s my best friend’s daughter, and that’s how it’s supposed to stay.
After my latest relationship fell apart, I’ve been living at their empty lakeside cabin, trying to rebuild my life. I never expected to return from the store to find Angelica here—taking a shower.
She’s not the little girl I remember. She’s a woman with curves that are hard to ignore. Now snowed in and cut off from the world, we’re forced to share the cabin—and the heat between us is impossible to escape.
As we huddle by the fire, I can’t deny how perfectly she fits in my arms. She thinks I’m just a big teddy bear, but with each touch, the beast in me is stirring.
I’m supposed to protect her, be the man her father trusts. Angelica deserves more than a broken man twice her age, but as the snow keeps falling, so do my defenses. And if I give in to what we both want, there’ll be no going back.
Because once I claim my best friend’s daughter, she’s mine—for good.

I’m a graphic artist by day and author by night, writing real, raw, racy romance. My book boyfriends are inked heroes who like fat, fun, and feisty women (sounds familiar).
My goal is to spread body positivity through my fat and fabulous curvy heroines with a good serving of British humour on the side (not forgetting an extra helping of alpha goodness).
On the very rare occasion I’m not working in my day job...or night job as a writer, I'll be living my best life in the heart of England with my other half, two wildlings (otherwise known as Veruca Salt and Mike Teavee), and a randy cavalier pup.
My serious book fetish travels with me in our tin cruiser as we roam the English countryside. You’ll usually find me in a field somewhere or curled up on the sofa with a coffee (wine), blanket and dog to keep me cozy, and a good steamy book to make me w—warm.
❄️Age Gap +20 ❄️Dad’s Best Friend ❄️Snowed In ❄️Vïrğįn FMC
This was a cute warm with spice romance. Great for the holiday read. A forbidden dads best mate with a 20ish age gap between Angelica and Sawyer. With some persuasion and a snow store both of their desires might be answered. I haven’t read many romances with the MCs being a average figure so loved that.
🧸❄️ Snowed in with the Dad Bod by Annie Charme ❄️🧸
⭐3.5
This book came through an author suggested email and I love a good Dad Bod MC. The book overall is a good short read and has some great chemistry between the main characters. And to be honest I would rather it higher if it weren't for some aspects which I didn't mesh with. The FMC Angelica is a young 20 something who is pretty down on her luck and is planning to hide in her family cabin over Xmas instead of facing her Dad and his new partner for the holidays. I actually liked this part of the story and the way the loss of her mother made her feel and react this is done well. The MMC Sawyer is her father's best friend and business partner who is staying at the cabin after breaking up with his girlfriend but this isn't known to Angelica. After Sawyer finds Angelica in the shower 🚿 his feelings towards her change and he sees the woman she has become. This book is fairly sweet in most places although a lot of references are made to Scotland this cabin could be anywhere which makes it fairly universal. The fact they both try to hide their attraction 🧲 and pretend nothing is going on is admirable. The spice is fairly well written and down right steamy in places. I won't go into my moments with the story and having read another story after by the author I think it is just this one that I felt this. Overall a good Christmas novella and worth a read. Also nice to read a British author who doesn't make her characters sound like Burt.🤣
Such an oh so very hot and steamy ebook. Angelica has lost her job so she goes to the family cabin. Imagine her surprise when she walks out of the shower and sees Sawyer, her Dad's good looking best friend. She's had a secret crush on him for a long time but doesn't want to cause problems so she has kept her feelings to herself. Sawyer is very attracted to Angelica but thinks she's too young, can do better than him, and doesn't want to hurt his best friend. But oh boy their explosive chemistry won't stay hidden forever. Their passion is so hot but will a Christmas wish come true for either of them? Can Angelica get Sawyer to make her most important wish come true? Does Sawyer finally give into his feelings and the passion just burning inside him? I can tell you that this amazingly talented author will have you cheering for Angelica and Sawyer to be together. You will love this very hot 5⭐️winner. I know that I do.

Okay so to be completely honest I usually avoid readings books where one of the MCs is a virgin because I find it cringe to read… BUT I love Annie Charme and her books have not led me down so fat so I gave it a chance. I gotta say I don’t regret reading it, this book is absolutely precious! The way Sawyer worships Angelica is envy and swoon worthy! (Why cant I find a man like that dang it 😅😂)
This book is a super short holiday read, a perfect escape really, the spice is top notch and Annie Charme simply killed it as always!! I’ve been feeling not so great, found out it’s because I have Covid so i bundled up took all the meds and the water and got to reading, this really helped me feel better! Thank you so much for having me on your ARC team i really love it here!
Snowed in with a Dad Bod will be out on November 29th so get your pre-orders in because you really don’t want to miss it!
I had so much fun with these characters! Our FMC has just been fired from her job and lost her apartment, but she doesn't want to ruin her dad's Christmas with his new girlfriend. So instead of being a third wheel she decides that she is going to spend Christmas alone at their cabin, wallow for a while, then come up with a plan. What she doesn't expect is our MMC to catch her while in the shower. Our MMC is her dad's best friend, who has been staying at the cabin for a month since he ended a relationship and needed a getaway. She has wanted him since she turned 16 - he is just now looking at her like the beautiful curvy woman that she is. But, his best friend is her father, making him old enough to be her father too. Trying to avoid the judgmental gaze of the wooden deer in the cabin, he wants to avoid crossing lines - but can he resist?
It's forbidden, depraved and very naughty but Sawyer craves Angelica with every breath he takes, he covets her, all of her....the sweet angel she shows the world and the dirty devilish side that her eyes portray each time she looks at him. Angelica does a fantastic job of teasing Sawyer and tying him in knots, she has him going out of his mind with every unintentional flash of skin, every lick of her lips, every flutter of her eyelashes and every blush that creeps over her skin as she imagines all the depraved things she wants him to do to her. There may be a snowstorm outside but damn this cabin is steaming with their naughty, very dirty but totally delicious antics as they surpass fantasy and fall head over heels this Christmas. I will now need to go back and read the Sinful Secrets series, which crosses over with this to catch up on the unconventional romances of Sawyer's friends. I read this on Kindle Unlimited.
Snowed In with the Dad Bod is part of the multi-authored Dad Bod Christmas series. It's a short and steamy, OTT, forced-proximity, age-gap, curvy virgin gets her Dad's best friend Christmas romance. Angelica is a young curvy virgin who recently lost her job and decided to spend Christmas at the family cabin. Sawyer is her dad's best friend who, unbeknownst to her, has been staying at the cabin for a month after his last relationship ended. When he gets back to the cabin, he finds Angelica in the shower. She has had a crush on Sawyer for several years, and Sawyer is attracted to the curvy beauty who is no longer a little girl. As they end up snowed-in together, things get hot and S-T-E-A-M-Y, but what will her dad say? I loved this couple. They had hot chemistry, and the ending was so happy. I loved it!.

After losing both her job and her apartment Angelica has retreated to the family cabin to be alone for Christmas. To her surprise her dad’s best friend walks in on her whilst she’s showering. Sawyer has been staying at the cabin, unsure of his life plans after the end to his toxic relationship. Now in front of him is a gorgeous and very naked woman, but a part of him is horrified to realize she is off limits. The chemistry between the two is instant and all consuming. The warm, caring relationship they already shared evolves into a passionate love.
This is an enjoyable, sweet love story with spice. My first story from this author and I am looking forward to reading more in the future. I particularly want to read the friends’ stories as they sound fun.

Looking for a slightly forbidden holiday treat? Look no further—Snowed In With the Dad Bod is exactly what you need. We have our virgin FMC, Angelica, and her dad’s best friend, Sawyer, and let me tell you… these two are hot enough to melt a snowstorm. Annie Charme does an incredible job bringing these characters to life, making them both deeply relatable not just through their experiences, but physically as well. And yes, not only is our FMC curvy, but our MMC proudly has some “meat” on him too. I especially loved how she describes their bodies using words like folds and creases, or phrases such as “where her belly touches her thighs,” never shying away from real bodies and giving us an MMC who worships every single part. I can always find pieces of myself in Annie Charme’s books, and this one is no exception. So don’t hesitate make sure this is added to your holiday reading list.

A short story, between an older man and younger woman. Her father is moving on from the death of his wife and her mother. A couple of years have passed and he has a new woman to spend Christmas with, in Scotland. . Angel's lost her job and place to live, so takes herself off from London to the family cabin. Sawyer is her father's oldest friend and has been living there since his previous relationship ended. She wants him; he wants her but the age difference and the fact that she is a virgin and his best friend's daughter is a problem to him. Both are eager to please the other and themselves, but Sawyer is the more aware, more cautious, but caring for and loving her is strong. Neither have had a good relationship because they realised that, deep down, they are meant to be together.
Luck isn’t on the sight of Angelica. She just got fired and finds herself without an apartment. To not get into the way of his father with his new girlfriend, who spends his Christmas in Scotland, she thought she would spending it alone on their cabin. But that didn’t went as expected as Sawyer, her dad’s best friend, surprises her under the shower. The story is an amazing, steamy, romantic and cute Christmas read. I love Sawyer. He is gentle, caring and loving. It’s my first book from this author, but definitely not my last. She managed to write a beautiful and captivating story with known tropes, but in a different way.

“Snowed in with the Dad Bod” is a curvy girl, dad’s best friend romance that made for a quick and spicy read!
The two main characters are Sawyer and Angelica, and their story definitely has forbidden love vibes.
Sawyer has only recently started to see Angelica as a woman, and although he knows he should stay away from her, he wasn’t able to deny his feelings for long.
As for Angelica, she’d had feelings for Sawyer for a long time, but she never dared to imagine he’d feel the same way about her.
I’m very picky about books involving the dad’s best friend trope, but I’ve liked some of Annie Charme’s other books, so I have this one a chance.
All in all, I thought it was an adorable holiday read that had hints of drama and angst.
Snowed in with the Dad Bod is so much fun! Sawyer is sweet and sexy, protective and filthy, and loves to play. Harboring a secret crush on Angelica is his superpower, until it isn’t! Angelica is innocent and naive, and a bit misguided in life after having lost her mother and having to care for her father. Crushing on her dad’s best friend is natural given that he was always her rock. I loved every moment of these two being trapped together—forcing them to face their feelings and fears. Their connection is deep and electric, and the tension between them builds and builds in the hottest ways. I loved how this author developed the characters and the storyline. Oh yes!!!.

Snowed In with the Dad Bod by Annie Charme is a steamy, heartwarming age-gap romance perfect for the holidays. Angelica’s journey to reclaim her life and confidence while hiding from her troubles sets the stage for an irresistible forced-proximity romance.
The dynamic between Angelica and Sawyer, her dad’s best friend, crackles with tension and forbidden chemistry. Seeing Sawyer’s perspective shift as he recognizes Angelica as a grown woman, not just his friend’s daughter, adds emotional depth to their connection. The snowy cabin setting intensifies their growing intimacy, blending spice with heartfelt moments as they navigate their feelings. A short, binge-worthy holiday read!
This story had me from the get go, the title sold me automatically. Angelica finds herself at her family’s cabin after telling her father some lies so he wouldn’t leave his holiday. She didn’t expect to find her father’s best friend. Sawyer has always been her all time crush from such a young age and shes compared everyone to him. Being snowed in with Sawyer, pushes their limits to where they finally cross that line until her dad comes in and says it’s him or me. I have always been a fan of age gap romances, had in a treehouse session and you will be a fan too! Definitely recommend as a holiday read.
Angelica just lost her job so she heads to the family cabin where she runs into her long time crush and dad's best friend Sawyer and things heat up between them. At first Sawyer fought his feelings for Angelica because he thought he was too old for her but the more time they spent together the closer they got. This is a dad's best friend, age gap, forbidden romance with humor, steam, and believable characters that had me cheering them on to get their happily ever after. Snowed in With the Dad Bod is a great addition to the multi-author Dad Bod Christmas series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
I was lucky enough to get an ARC for this book. The only reason I gave this a 4 star is because I wish it was a longer book!! I want more of Sawyer and Angelica! The growly lumberjack/grizzly bear that instantly turns into a big ole teddy bear for the girl he shouldn't fall for. What more could you want?
The sizzling chemistry, the forbidden, the spice! Let's just say logs aren't the only thing Sawyer splits in this book! And I am here for it!
Can't wait to read whatever else Annie comes out with!!
Snowed in with the Dad Bod is a grumpy, biker, dad's best friend forbidden romance. Ms. Charme gives us Angelica and Sawyer's love story and sees them snowed in at her dad's cabin. The both of them have feelings for one another since Sawyer saw her as an adult on her twentyth birthday. He knows he shouldn't but being in close quarters and her pushing his buttons, he is having difficulty not crossing the line. One night and all hell breaks loose. Their story is hot and the chemistry they share is perfect and off the chart. I am not one for virgin FMC, but this one was entertaining.

Holiday quick read. Angelica and Sawyer end up in the same cabin during Christmas time and their feelings come to light. This is the biggest age gap I have read so far. While they’re not related, Sawyer is Angelica‘s dad‘s best friend and Angelica has grown up as knowing him as an uncle. They do try to fight their feelings and chemistry towards each other. This story was written nicely. I loved the fact that not only the FMC is a curvy girl, but the MC was not the six pack guy that is always written. He truly is the big bear that Angelica is looking for.
When Sawyer heads out to the family's cabin she had no idea that her father had already told his best friend he could use it so imagine his surprise when he goes up stairs and finds a woman showering. It turns out to be Angelica his best friend's daughter and when they get snowed in together things take a romantic twist that will pit best friends against each other and a blooming relationship in jeopardy. Will Sawyer and Angelica get their chance for happiness.

A great festive novella. Angelica has gone to her family cabin for Christmas but unaware that her uncle Sawyer has been living there. Sawyer is Angelica’s dad’s best friend. She has had feelings for Sawyer since she was 16. Sayer has always treasured Angelica since she has been born.
A accidental look at Angelica naked in the shower stirs all sorts of feelings for Sawyer. This is how they stumble about trying to ignore their feelings for each other but as usual no one can resist.
This is an age gap romance, with some funny scenes, and an overall feel good story. Highly recommend

I would like to point out this type of book isn't something I would usually read! This was a quick and easy read for me and I enjoyed the majority of it, it did become a bit slow and drawn out in places, it also started to become a cliche, which was a shame. Overall this book was good for those looking for a quick read.
When Angelica went to her family’s cabin after her world imploded she was not expecting to see Sawyer her father’s best friend and her longtime crush. As they spend time snowed in their feelings can’t stay hidden. But after one night together it’s as if a switch flipped and they are all in. Love this slow steamy burn to an amazingly beautiful HEA.

Angelica has known Sawyer all her life, and he is her father's best friend. Suddenly, Sawyer realizes this beautiful woman is the little girl he has known for so long, but he's not looking at her as a child. Angelica is seeing Sawyer in a whole new way. There is quite a bit of drama, but it makes the story excellent. This book has lots of spice and a perfect HEA.
