Snowed In with Daddy's Best Friend

by Vitina Rose

I thought my Christmas was ruined… then I learned I was being snowed in alone with the one man I've been saving myself for — daddy's best friend.

When my flight home for the holidays is grounded in New York due to a storm, I’m left stranded.

Until dad calls in a favor to his billionaire best friend to keep me safe while a blizzard shuts down the city.

Seems Santa didn’t forget me this year.

Because Christopher is a brooding and handsome gift I plan on unwrapping.

A twenty year age gap makes this all wrong.

But my heart wants him to give into what I know we both feel.

And enticing him beyond his limits must be working.

Because his smoldering gaze says that the only gingerbread he wants to devour is me.

I’ve been a very good girl this year.

And all I want for Christmas — is to be naughty with daddy’s best friend.

Readers This is a steamy age gap, forced proximity, off-limits holiday romance. Get snowed in with Holly and Christopher and feel the fireplace sparks fly! A grumpy and handsome billionaire is helpless to fend off the advances of his best friend's daughter, after a storm shuts out any chance of escaping what they know they both feel. Happy Holidays!

[april ♡ probably reading smut - safety reviews · Rating 2 out of 5]

2/5 I just finished this quick read and I honestly don’t remember much about it 🥲

TROPES:
-age gap
-dad’s best friend
-unrequited love
-forced proximity

Holly gets snowed in with her dad’s best friend, who she’s had feelings for forever. Christopher is very wishy-washy. He wants her but he doesn’t. It’s mentioned several times that he indulges in women frequently so he’s a bit of a manwhore. There’s also condom usage and that took me out of the moment 😭🫠

Otherwise, this was written pretty well. It’s a super quick read!

SAFETY:
virgin heroine, manwhore hero
no OM/OW
no cheating/sharing
HEA

cute

A cute Age-gap to read on a winter’s night.
Full of all the feels we want and expect, wicked chemistry between the main characters leading to a sweet HEA and a cute epilogue.

Finding The Right Woman to Tame Him -
Holly had been crushing on her dad’s best friend for years, so she wasn’t thrilled when her father called him to help her out after she was stranded at the airport. However, Holly noticed Christopher wasn’t averse to her flirting, so she decided to push the boundaries to see if he would engage with her. Christopher tried everything within his power to control his attraction towards Holly whilst she was staying with him, but she was relentless in pushing his boundaries until he gave up.

Holly and Christopher ended up engaging in a secret affair because of her father, but they let their guard down during the Christmas celebration, which led to the revelation of their secret. Luckily Christopher was able to calm Holly’s father down after he declared his true feelings for her, which gave them a chance to have the happy future they wanted. I enjoyed reading this heartwarming but steamy romance, which I am happy to recommend.

Super steamy age gap romance.
This book was written so very well that the age difference wasn’t really a factor however, the dad’s best friend aspect seemed to take the main focus. Christopher was a beautiful surprise as a character that tries so hard to resist his attraction to Holly. She was a surprise as well as I labeled her a seductress with her sights set on him. But she totally redeemed herself in my eyes later. A well thought out plot and storyline and worth the read.

Too short

I loved thus short novella. There was so much intensity in the love between Christopher and that at times I thought my heart would burst. If this had gone on with the opening of the flower shop, the ups and downs of a new relationship and much more, I believe the author would have a full-length novel every bit AA good and maybe even better than what I just finished reading. Beautiful love story that is well written and unforgettable.

A Perfect Storm
Holly has crushed on her father’s best friend Christopher forever. Now she’s stranded with him by a snowstorm in New York. But the storm outside isn’t the only one raging. Holly is creating a storm of emotions that she hopes breaks Christopher’s resolve and has him give in to all the pleasure, passion, and happiness they can stand.

[Michelle Peralta · Rating 4 out of 5]

Snowed In With Daddy's Best Friend is the prefect steamy short story you need in your life. When Holly gets stuck in the airport her dad calls his friend to come and help her out. Holly has the hots for him but this is less than ideal for her. When he doesn't seem turned off by her flirting she pushes him until he finally breaks. This is a most read to see how this turns out!

Snowed in with daddy’s best friend was Christopher and Holly’s story. It was a short, steamy, age gap read. And was a new author, for me. I got a copy of the book and voluntarily leaving this review.
