Snowed In at the Cabin

by K.P. Knupp

After Alexandra comes home from another failed interview, she catches her boyfriend of three months with another woman on her couch. She’s officially over the dumpster fire that is her life. She needs to get off the grid, fast. Booking a secluded cabin with no cell service she hopes to get back to her dream as an artist.

James may have seemingly endless funds, but at the end of the day he doesn’t have what he truly craves. After the passing of his father and a ruined past engagement, he’s unconvinced love is in the cards for him. Until her. When Alexandra crashes into his life unexpectedly, she flips his world upside down.

Alexandra arrives at the cabin only to find the owner, James, still inside. With the winter storm raging and all the roads closed, they’re stuck. It seems fine until the power goes out, and they’re left with one bed in front of the fireplace to stay warm. The whole situation seems inconvenient, but with the snow refusing to let up and the urge to avoid James’ deep questions, there’s only one option for Alexandra. Distract him, no matter what she has to do.

Will they be able to stay together when they rejoin the real world and secrets are revealed?

Do you love swoon worthy romance? Kick your feet banter? Heart warming found family? Then you need this book.
This book perfectly balances heart stopping cuteness and following your dreams even when its scary.

James is top tier book boyfriend material. Oozing 'You're Mine' vibes with 'Would Burn The World Down For Her'. He falls first and HARD.

Alex is trying to find the courage to pursue her dreams while also battling drama and herself. It is so believable and real.

These characters live rent-free in my head now forever. I stayed up way too late devouring the pages and never wanted this book to end.

I read this during heavy snowfall, and let me tell you, the vibes were absolutely immaculate. This story is adorable, fast-paced, and completely bingeable. James and Alexandra are so cute and perfectly right for each other.

I especially loved how Alexandra handles her misogynistic ex-boss and cheating boyfriend at the start of the story; truly boss behavior! She’s witty, brave, and knows exactly what she wants out of life. James, on the other hand, is sweet, helpful, and understandably hesitant about starting a new relationship when we first meet him. Despite his fears, their connection quickly grows into something deeper, something they both want to explore.

Knupp balances humor with deeper themes beautifully, making it easy to instantly connect with both main characters. I absolutely adored the side characters and the found family that naturally forms along the way.

This is the perfect winter themed, feelgood romance

I just LOVED this book. No notes, except perhaps James is too perfect. Minimal drama, HEA guaranteed - just such an easy cosy read. Kelsey is a lovely writer, the story flows beautifully and I ate it up almost in one sitting (unheard of for me!) can’t wait to read more of KP Krupp’s work.

Kelsey thank you for the advanced copy!

Snowed In At The Cabin is such a fun winter romance read! This story has all the cozy vibes! From the banter to the spice it’s def a nice comfort read on a cozy winter day! Keep in mind this is a quick short read so it’s straight to the point with a splash of drama and fun!
*Fav Quotes:
~“We never know when the end will come for us, so take that risk, Leave the job you hate, Fall in love, And always chase your dreams. If not now, when? This life is worth living, now.”
~“It feels like home looking at it, and if Alex can do that with a simple cabin, I can’t imagine what she could do with the companies we work with.”
~“What’d I say? Would you rather, lover? Hot side piece? Boo thing forever? Or are we jumping right to it and calling me your husband? Because, let’s be honest, that’s where …”
~“Sometimes I come here to talk to him like he’s still lingering. Like he can still hear me and give me advice. The sound of his voice floats on the wind, and if I listen hard enough, I can hear him. Or at least it feels like I can.”

A super sweet, swoon worthy cozy romance ❤️

Off the charts laugh out loud banter, great chemistry and friends/found family perfection ❤️

James is super hot, golden retriever, secret billionaire who helps Alex out on the worst day of her life and he never plans to let her go ❤️

This is such a quick fun cozy winter read with all the makings of a (spicy) hallmark movie that you need to add to your TBR immediately ❤️

I cannot wait to read Jaz and Ashlyn's stories and I need lots more of Ryder too 🫠

Thank you Grey’s Promotions for this Arc in exchange for an honest review.

This was so enjoyable, it was a billionaire romance (which I LOVE) but not dark or mafia-based and I felt like the story moved quickly, there were no plot holes, and I really felt the romance!
This is a more personal thing but I found her friends annoying? Every time there was a scene with them I found myself irritated so that kept me from giving it 5 stars.

Other than that, no notes. I want to go back to the cabin pls

[Lisa Penninga · Rating 3 out of 5]

Such a fun read for a winter escape with cozy fire scenes, charity events, secret billionaire from humble background vibes, and a fun friend group to tag along with. Parts read more like a movie than a book to me, and I would have loved to see more of Alex’s talent described. It made me want to get snowed-in at a cute cabin!

[Lisa Villarreal · Rating 5 out of 5]

AHHHHhhh -- I love an insta-chemistry cozy romance with such cute characters and dynamics! This was freaking ADORABLE. I'm not a huge cozy reader but KP Knupp nails it every single time for me. I just love that it isn't entirely so cozy there isnt some sort of drama happening. It helps it feel more real. The story is so warm but the plot still feels fiery and emotional. I love that it has that extra spirit. Such a magical quality to it all. KP has sold me on the snowed in trope too, because holy hotness. You even get such vulnerable and tender moments, I never felt it moved too quick. My husband and I, also had that fiery love at first sight so it all resonates with me. Really well done and super cute story!

[ThatBook Girl · Rating 5 out of 5]

Snowed In at the Cabin is an absolute blast! If you’re obsessed with found families, chasing your dreams, cozy romance, and all those swoon-worthy tropes like forced proximity and the guy falling first (and falling hard!), you have to pick this one up.

Alex is a charming, relatable character. She ditches her dead-end job to go after her passion as an artist and designer, and her determination is seriously inspiring. You’ll cheer for her every step of the way, because she’s just that real and completely lovable.

And James? He’s not your typical arrogant billionaire. He grew up humble, loves his family fiercely, and is just the kind of guy you wish existed in real life. When he falls head over heels for Alex, it’s epic. His possessiveness and confidence that they’re meant to be is off-the-charts intense (in the best way!) There’s just something magnetic about a guy who knows what he wants and goes for it, and James delivers in spades!

The found family in this story are absolute perfection! They bring laugh-out-loud banter, crack jokes at just the right moments, and are always ready with heaps of unconditional love and support. Seriously, you’ll wish you could join their crew!

[Savana · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have feeeeelings about this book so if you want a short review, this isn’t it! To start, it was SO NICE to read about characters that are not 18 and fresh out of high school, that actually have some life experience and emotional integrity (late 20's, early 30's). James & Alexandra were a breath of fresh air in that sense, which made them so much more relatable!

The character development was very well done, which made the story progress smoothly and in a way that both captured my attention and made the spicy scenes that much more meaningful to the plotline.

Alexandra is a witty, smart, and caring character that loves her friends, has a strained relationship with her mother, and doesn't trust men because of DUH her cheating ex & a history of jumping into relationships with losers. Her leaving her toxic job and fighting to chase her dream is inspiring, though with today's economy REMEMBER FRIENDS -- this is a work of fiction LOL. Anyway, she didn't come off to me as a whiny, silver platter kind of girl. She works, she saves, and she resets her mind and approach at life to attempt pursuing her dreams. LOVE IT.

James is RICH rich, but also humble and remains linked to his small-town roots. While I don't believe many young, rich entrepreneurs are like this in real life, it really helps to understand his mindset and the passion he has behind his business in "helping the little guy". The way that he just can't help but be drawn to Alex is so cute and golden retriever coded, but his respect for and protectiveness over her had me in a chokehold.

The supporting characters, Alex's friends Ashlyn and Jaz are fun, chaotic (in the best of ways) and completely supportive of her as any true friend group should be, and Jame's cousins Ryder and Alester are broody, passionate about their company, and care for James in ways that others can’t/wouldn’t understand. The connections between each of them and the chemistry between characters and the friend groups as a whole is so fun!

There are some spicy scenes which were well placed, but they weren’t super detailed or lengthy. I’d give this a 2/5 on the spice rating. I felt like these scenes flowed well with the overall plot, drove some character development between the FMC & MMC, and were tastefully done. I did however, DESPISE the repeated use of the phrase “ball of nerves” … like it actually made me crazy. Besides this, enjoyable.

The book is shared as a HEA without any kind of third scene breakup, which I can appreciate because that is sooo overdone. The pace of the plot is quick but easy to follow, the scenery and locations are described well and the slow burn chemistry between James and Alex throughout is to die for. Do I recommend this? Absolutely. This is my first 5 star read of 2026 and I cannot wait for everything else to come from this author!

TLDR: Snowed in at the Cabin was a plot/character driven, fast-paced, slow-burn, engaging and adorable read that I will be recommending to everyone within the internet's radius the rest of this year!!

Thank you to the author and Grey's Promotions for my copy!

❄️ One bed, one week, one billionaire… and a whole lot of feelings ❄️

3.5 ⭐️ | 1.25 🌶️

Snowed In At The Cabin was my first K.P. Knupp read, and I’ll start by saying this: if you love cozy, trope-filled romances with forced proximity, fake dating, and a dash of spice, this one will absolutely be your vibe.

Alexandra “Alex” Lewis is having a spectacularly bad week: passed over for a promotion (again), quitting her job in frustration, and catching her boyfriend cheating. Enter James Edward: mysterious, wealthy, constantly popping up in her life and, surprise, the owner of the secluded cabin she impulsively books to rediscover her creativity. Then comes the snowstorm, a power outage, and the classic one bed by the fireplace setup.

The story is cute in that unapologetic, insta-love kind of way. There’s flirty tension, soft emotional beats, tiny plot twists, and just enough heat to keep things interesting (though the spice stays on the milder side). Knupp’s writing is smooth and easy to sink into, making this a quick, comforting read that’s perfect for a wintery mood.

That said, the timeline was a little too fast for me personally. We’re talking about knowing each other for barely a week before major life decisions and “I love you” declarations happen and I struggled to fully connect with Alex or emotionally invest in the relationship because of that. A few word choices in the spicy scenes also pulled me out of the moment just a bit.

Still, I totally understand the hype. This book hits several beloved romance tropes and delivers exactly what many readers are looking for: escapism, charm, and a swoony billionaire cabin fantasy. It just didn’t quite become a new favorite for me.

Thank you to Grey’s Promotions for the e-ARC, and congratulations to K.P. Knupp on the upcoming release (January 20th)! If you’re in the mood for a snowy, cozy, fast-burn romance, this one is worth checking out.

Spicy, Cozy, and Addictive: I Devoured This in One Sitting!
I absolutely devoured Snowed in at the Cabin in one sitting! KP Knupp has a lovely, fluid writing style that makes the story move effortlessly from the very first page. We meet Alex on the ultimate bad day: she’s passed over for a promotion due to office politics, quits on the spot, and walks home to find her boyfriend cheating. This "burn it all down" moment is the perfect catalyst for her to finally pursue her passion as an artist.
​When Alex retreats to a cabin to reset, she’s surprised to find James—the magnetic CEO she met at a club—who also happens to be the owner. James is such a refreshing hero; he’s a humble billionaire who is fiercely protective and completely "all-in" when it comes to Alex. While he might be a bit "too perfect," his confidence and devotion are totally magnetic and exactly what Alex deserves after everything she’s been through.
​The cabin chapters are the perfect mix of spicy and cozy, but the story is truly rounded out by the incredible "found family." James’s cousins provide laugh-out-loud banter and unconditional support that makes the world feel so real. This is a beautiful, low-drama, "cosy winter read" with a guaranteed HEA. I can’t wait to read more of Kelsey’s work!
​Read this if you liked: It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey
If you loved the "city girl" starting over in a new environment and a protective, obsessed hero who falls first and falls hard, you will adore this book. It captures that same magnetic chemistry and "choose yourself" character growth that made Tessa Bailey's hit so addictive.
​Content Note
This is a low-angst, high-comfort read. It contains scenes of infidelity (by the ex-boyfriend, not the main couple) and open-door intimacy that is spicy but focused on the emotional connection.

Words that linger
🍷“I had no idea I had to wave my money at him like a stripper to get him to give me a drink.” A laugh bubbles out of my mouth before I can stop it. “You hit up strip joints often then?”
🍷I, Alex, agree to provide one (nonsexual) favor sometime in the future pending you, Hot Suit Guy, assists in getting me away from ex-douche pants.
🍷I’m a patient man. I have the time, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t help her figure out what she wants. Me.
🍷“Yes, because however much time it takes, I don’t care how long. You will be mine. It’s inevitable. We are inevitable. I’ve known since that night in the club.”
🍷I’ll be seeing all of her paintings eventually because she will be mine.

RATING: 4.75❄️

After reading Mistletoe and Wayward Spells, I completely fell in love with Kelsey's writing style, and Snowed In at the Cabin only confirmed that she’s an author I’ll happily keep coming back to. This was such a cozy, feel good winter romance that I couldn’t put down!

Alex is just such a relatable FMC... the kind of character who feels like she could be your best friend. She’s down to earth, determined, and so dang lovable. And now onto James! He’s the perfect MMC. He isn't like the stereotypical rich guy, he had to work his way up from the bottom, has experienced tragedy, loves his family, and knows exactly what he wants. When he falls for Alex (he falls hard), and his confidence that they are inevitable, and his protectiveness were just so swoony in the best possible way. I absolutely loved the parts where they were at the cabin...The spicy scenes were absolutely perfect and they didn't feel forced in any way!

The side characters were incredible. James’s cousins had me constantly giggling with their banter and antics. And I can't wait to see more of Ashlyn and Jaz (the ultimate girl's girls), seeing they'll be getting stories of their own has me so excited!! I also just have to say that I always love a dual POV! Being able to get inside both Alex’s and James’s thoughts made their undeniable chemistry even stronger!!

This is a easy, spicy, and chill read with a guaranteed HEA. The words just flow right off the pages!! Fun, light, and heartfelt, Snowed In at the Cabin will make you believe in romance and James may just be every girl’s dream guy. I can’t wait to read more from K.P. Knupp. ❄️📚

[The Literature Lizard · Rating 4 out of 5]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/🌶️🌶️

From the very first page Snowed In at the Cabin pulls you in and keeps you hooked. Alexandra’s journey begins with heartbreak and disillusionment, a feeling that hits deeply in today’s fast-paced and overwhelming world. Her decision to escape to a secluded cabin, seeking solace and a chance to reconnect with herself as an artist, really sets the stage for a story that is as much about self discovery as it is about unexpected love.

The chemistry that builds between them during their time stuck in the cabin is electric, but it’s the moments of vulnerability and honesty that truly make their relationship shine. Watching them navigate their fears and desires amidst the snowstorm is both heartwarming and exhilarating.

The banter is sharp and witty and helps bring the characters to life while also highlighting their emotional struggles. I especially loved how Knupp skillfully intertwines humor with deeper themes of trust and healing, making the narrative feel balanced and satisfying.

The tension builds beautifully as Alexandra and James confront their pasts and the realities that await them outside the cabin. The ending left me both fulfilled and yearning for more.

Snowed In at the Cabin is a spellbinding read that captures the essence of love, resilience, and the journey to finding oneself. It’s a delightful reminder that sometimes, life’s most beautiful moments happen when we least expect them. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone looking for a heartfelt escape into a world where love blooms amidst the snow.

Thank you to Grey’s Promo and K.P. for providing me with a copy of Snowed in at the Cabin! As always, my opinions are my own.

Ok seriously!!! This book was so freaking cute! Billionaire romance, he falls first, forced proximity, and sprinkled in spice 🖤. James and Alex had me all gushy. I couldn’t help but wish for their HEA from the get go. Plus who doesn’t love a good forced proximity and spice to liven up your life. These two have their own hurt they are processing, but a very fun snowed in experience lets them realize they need to have fun. And boy do they 😂. Their attraction grows along with this deep connection they can’t explain. He’s not a pushy guy when it comes to her but he’s more than happy to let her know his intentions. Alex is just trying to find her footing and place, but can’t help feel the tug when she’s around James.


Please oh please!!! Tell me that we are getting Ryder and Alester with Jaz and Ashlyn soon!!! They had me in a chokehold. The supporting characters all need their own stories 🖤.

Alex is the girl who has a wild spirit and fiery soul. Trapped in a job that doesn’t care for her she goes out to find herself. I loved this about her, she knows she has more to offer and now can go find it. She’s surrounded by people that will support her and I love that she has that!

James is your traditional billionaire heartthrob that you just melt for. He cares deeply but has been hurt in the past. He’s guarded and buries himself so deep in his work that he needs someone new to awaken him. And boy does he awake! I need a man to who can make me a pile of goo with just a kiss 😂. He knows what he wants and goes after it.

Snowed In at the Cabin by K.P. Knupp

There’s something quietly addictive about a romance that knows exactly what it’s trying to be—and Snowed In at the Cabin delivers that cozy, snow-globe magic with surprising emotional depth.

The setting is hands-down one of the strongest parts of this story. The secluded winter cabin, heavy snowfall, and forced proximity create the perfect cocoon for tension and tenderness to build. It’s atmospheric without being overdone—you can almost hear the fire crackling in the background while the snow keeps the rest of the world at bay.

The characters feel refreshingly grounded. I especially loved how the heroine’s creative soul contrasts with the hero’s more reserved, steady presence. Their dynamic unfolds naturally—no unnecessary dramatics, just quiet moments, meaningful conversations, and a slow realization that what’s growing between them is real. The hero, in particular, is the kind that sneaks up on you: thoughtful, observant, and emotionally present when it counts.

The pacing is gentle but intentional. This is very much a slow-burn romance, but it never drags. Each chapter adds another layer—whether it’s emotional vulnerability, shared history, or that delicious tension that comes from being snowed in with someone you can’t stop thinking about.

Overall, this is the kind of book you pick up for the vibes but stay for the emotional payoff. Cozy, romantic, and quietly satisfying—perfect for winter reading or anytime you’re craving a soft, cabin-set escape.

ARC Review:

Snowed in at the Cabin by K.P Knupp
5⭐️

Absolutely devoured this book in 2 days! A swoony romance, which will have you kicking your feet and chasing your dreams even when it’s scary at times and remember to never give up!

Alex is a smart and caring person that loves her friends, but has a rocking relationship with her mother since she doesn’t believe in Alex and letting her chase her dreams. She decides after trying to advance in her current job and getting turned down again to up and leave the toxic place and pursue her dreams in advertising her art.

James, who is Mr. Richie Rich, decides to start a company with his cousins, but they will do anything for the clients that the company takes in. After losing his Dad, he decides to put the cabin online for people to rent and enjoy the land with no WIFI just like his dad did.

Alex decides she needs to get away to get her mind set on creating her portfolio before she starts to apply for a new job and comes across on line “A cabin in the woods with no WIFI”. Once she arrives at the cabin her whole word changes and a connection is sparked.

They way Alex’s friends Ashlyn and Jaz are behind her in every step even with all the chaos are what true friends really are and James’s cousins Ryder and Alester are passionate about their company with James and are there to stand behind James in a way a family should. The connection between James and Alex and their friends is amazing.

I can’t wait for book 2 to find more about Jaz and Ashlyn’s story and I hope there is more on Ryder too.

[Marissa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Snowed In at the Cabin is a fast-paced, winter-themed, cosy romance that wraps you up in warm, fuzzy feelings.

This story follows Alexandra and James, two people both sitting at crossroads in their lives, each needing time to pause, reflect, and breathe. When their paths collide unexpectedly, what unfolds feels organic, messy in a very human way, and comforting. The forced proximity setup adds delicious tension, while also creating room for vulnerability, connection, and growth.

I was pulled into this story effortlessly. The pacing felt just right, engaging, and before I knew it the outside world faded away and I was fully immersed in Alexandra and James’ journey. The romance builds in a way that feels emotionally satisfying, with touches of humour, tenderness, and heat that balance each other beautifully.

There are so many tropes woven together here, forced proximity, found family, strangers to lovers, he falls first, and they blend seamlessly rather than feeling crowded. The side characters also add warmth and emotional depth, making the story feel real and more alive.

K.P. Knupp has a real gift for creating stories that feel comforting without losing momentum, and I genuinely loved every page of this one. It was cosy, engaging, and exactly the kind of read that makes you want to curl up, with a cuppa, and stay there a little longer.

I received this book as an ARC, however this review reflects my honest thoughts and feelings, shared voluntarily.

[Smutty Professor · Rating 5 out of 5]

Snowed in at the Cabin was such a cozy and easy read. A snowstorm, forced proximity, one bed, and a cabin with a fireplace is basically my weakness, so I was on board for this read immediately! Alex’s life falls apart in a single day, so she escapes to a secluded cabin hoping for a quiet space and a fresh start. Instead, she finds herself snowed in with James, the cabin’s owner, and what was supposed to be a short stay turns into something more. As the storm keeps them trapped together, feelings grow, secrets surface, and both of them are forced to decide what they’re willing to fight for once the snow melts.

Alex appeared exhausted, stuck in a rut, and trying to figure out what she actually wants instead of just existing in survival mode. I loved how she finally chose herself and took a chance on her dreams. James ended up being a fabulous MMC for me. He’s a billionaire, but he never made it feel flashy or annoying. He’s grounded, super family-oriented, and once he decides Alex is it for him, he’s all in. There's no games and no back-and-forth between them though there is some great banter. It's just calm, confident energy that actually made their relationship feel so sweet. I also loved that there was no third-act break-up in this one!

All in all, this was just a really nice book to sink into. It's cozy, easy, and full of some serious feel-good energy. It's a perfect read if you want something comforting without a ton of stress.

Book Review: Snowed in at the Cabin by K. P. Knupp❄️🖼🎨

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a way to kick of 2026!

This was a fun, light read that really made me believe in romance!

The two main characters have immediate, undeniable chemistry. And individually, I couldnt have asked for two more likable characters to have as our leads. I was naturally rooting for the success of not only their relationship, but also their personal aspirations.

And James is just such a great guy and the perfect MMC. He is every girl's dream guy!

I love that Knupp chose to make the book dual POV. In romance novels we usually get the FMC's point of view, which is fine; though, I can't help but wonder what the MMC is thinking or how he views his love interest. But in Snowed in at the Cabin, we get an inside look into both characters' romantic thoughts and desires.

We are gifted with multiple spicy scenes, and oh, was the spice *electric.* And you'll be glad to know that those scenes are strategically placed and do not take over the entire book. It is just the right amount!

Overall, this was such an enjoyable read that kept me hooked until the very end!

ARC- Releases Jan 20, 2026

Thank you Grey's Promotions and K.P. Knupp for an early copy of the book. All parts of this review are of my own opinion 💚

Have you been reading some dark books the last few days and need a break? Would a quick little romance get you in a better mood? If the answer is yes, check out Snowed in the Cabin and get that serotonin going 💞

You may end up loving the characters who seem like amazing human beings. We have Alex who is unappreciated at her job where even though she does way more than what her job should entail, they just keep passing over her while adding to her work load. She eventually does what is best for her and comes home to something that hurts. All of this leads to a journey of healing and finding oneself and that is where James comes in. James is rich rich, but that doesn't make him bad. He does everything he can to spread wealth and happiness to others with the help of his cousins. He genuinely is a good guy and you can't help but love him. Alex and him make a perfect couple 💘

The book may be short, but it gives you everything you need with amazing characters and a storyline that's sweet. I do recommend this book and it's length will help you meet that reading goal of yours. So go check it out 🥰

This was an INSTA LOVE. Like immediate, no hesitation, no slow burn in sight. The snowed in cabin vibe was cozy and fun, though I found myself wishing we spent a little more time there.

I really liked Alexandra and found her relatable, especially with her messy past and strong support system. Love that she chose herself and her first thought was to get away!

Where this lost me a bit was the connection and pacing. Everything moved very fast, and the relationship felt deeply intense almost instantly, which made it harder for me to fully connect. I would’ve loved more banter, more getting to know each other moments, and a longer timeline to really feel that emotional build. Don’t get me wrong… I LOVED the two main characters but I just wish there was a build up there to feel something.

That said, the side characters were a highlight! Very supportive, fun, and added warmth to the story. And that epilogue!?! LOVED.

Overall, this one wasn’t quite the right fit for me personally, but if you love fast-paced, insta-love stories with cozy winter vibes and a strong workplace/business focus, this one might be just for you!

This is the first book I've read written by K. P. Knupp and it fit perfectly in the cozy winter read category.
In this book we meet Alex, who's having a nightmare of a week: not getting a job promotion at the marketing firm she works at, finding out some injustice related to that job and the person who ends getting it, she quit her job and discorver her boyfriend is cheating on her, so, in that state she rent a cabin to bring to light her creativity again.
Then came James, a billionaire CEO of an important marketing firm, with who Alex has a meet cute at a bar and he happens to be the owner of the cabin she's staying.
The banter and chemistry between them is palpable and well written, maybe a little bit rushing some points, bur have all the elements I like in a winter cabin sory: blizzars, power outage, fake dating...
Tropes you can find in this book:
- Billionaire romance
- snowed in in a cabin
- insta love/fast- pace love
- no 3rd act break-up
- Only one bed
- He falls first
- Fake relationship

This book has open door scenes and, although they are not numerous, I was a little flabbergasted with the "dirty talk", that's all.
My ratings:
4/5 ⭐
1/5🌶️

I’ve received this book as an ARC and I’d like to thank the author, K. P. Knupp, and her team at Grey's Promotions for letting me read this book in advance and allow me to give my honest opinion.

Snowed in at the Cabin
By K. P. Knupp
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What to expect:
* Billionaire Romance
* Forced Proximity / Snowed In
* Only One Bed
* He Falls First
* Fake Relationship (secondary)
* No Third-Act Breakup
Snowed In at the Cabin by K.P. Knupp is the ultimate cozy winter escape! This heartwarming story follows Alexandra, an artist who flees her chaotic life for a quiet cabin retreat, only to find the brooding billionaire James already staying there. When a massive blizzard traps them together with only one bed to share, the "forced proximity" tension is absolutely delicious. Their chemistry is immediate and scorching, yet the story remains a low-stress, "no third-act breakup" delight that focuses on deep emotional connection and healing.
K.P. Knupp’s writing is wonderfully atmospheric—you’ll feel the chill of the storm and the warmth of the fireplace in every scene. James is a standout "he falls first" hero whose protective nature perfectly complements Alexandra's creative vulnerability. It’s a fast-paced, high-heat romance that will leave you wanting to move into a snowy cabin of your own. Make sure to add this to your Goodreads "To-Read" list before its official release on January 20, 2026!

10/10 Would recommend this book to all family and friends.

James- billionaire- owns marketing company

The 6-1-1 Rule IYKYK 👯‍♀️

Words that Linger:
🔥 Maybe it’s p orn on the TV. Who knows? Right, and the clothes just came out of the screen. Idiot.
🔥 “Yes, because however much time it takes, I don’t care how long. You will be mine. It’s inevitable. We are inevitable.
🔥 “I’m glad you found the family that you needed. I’m sorry you had to find it the hard way, but sometimes those relationships last longer than the ones we are born into.”
🔥 My face feels like it’s on fire. I’m one more comment away from launching myself into a pile of snow outside.
🔥 “If you keep biting your lip like that, we might have to speed up the timeline.”
🔥 “Magic like that deserves to be out in the world wild. It would be devastating to try and tame the flame that demands to burn uncontrolled.

Tropes:
🎨Billionaire
🎨Forced Proximity
🎨Found Family
🎨He falls First
🎨One Bed
🎨Strangers to Lovers
🎨Good Girl

Thank you to @kpknupp and @greyspromo for the ARC. I’m very grateful.

Snowed In at the Cabin is a super sweet cozy romance that captures the essence of love, resilience, and the journey to finding oneself. This books is a reminder that things fall apart because better things are just around the corner waiting to fall into place.

Alexandra's trying to overcome heartbreak and looking for a new beginning decides to escape to a secluded cabin, looking to reconnect with her inner artist so she can expand her portfolio for future employers.

James a golden retriever type who has overcome huge loss by throwing himself into his work, a billionaire who keeps himself guarded as he’s been used one to many times by people.

When James helps Alex out on the worst day of her life he never expects to see her again, until she shows up at his cabin. When the two of them are snowed in at the cabin and sparks fly and not just from the fire. Will the two of them be able to let go and give into what is there and grow together or will it all go down in flames.


The chemistry and the tension, the banter that is sharp and witty brings the characters to life. Watching the each of them deal with their own emotional struggles while trying to support the other with as just so beautifully written, I really enjoyed how the emotional scenes were intertwined with humour it makes the narrative feel balanced.

Overall I really enjoyed reading this book, it was cozy and cute but it also some real serious and raw moments. Thank you to K.P Knupp Greys Promotion for the ARC. Snowed in at the Cabin is out Jan 20 2026

Snowed in Cabin by K.P. Knupp is such a great, easy, feel-good read, perfect when you want romance, chemistry, and cozy forced proximity without heavy angst.

Alex’s life falls apart when she quits her job, comes home early, and catches her boyfriend of three months on the couch with another woman. With her plans shattered, she escapes to a cabin rental, hoping for space to breathe and figure out her next move. What she doesn’t expect is James.

James owns the cabin and is a successful businessman, but beneath that confidence is a man still mourning the loss of his father and guarding his heart after a past engagement left him burned. He’s avoided love ever since… until Alex.

When a worsening snowstorm traps them together in the cabin, the tension turns irresistible. James can’t keep his hands off Alex, and once he decides she’s his endgame, there’s no backing down. Their chemistry is electric, intense, and impossible to ignore.

I really enjoyed how Alex is trying to rebuild her life while reconnecting with her passion for art. Watching her paint, create, and slowly regain confidence alongside her growing relationship with James added depth to the romance. While the relationship does develop quickly, it fits the snowed-in, whirlwind nature of the story and keeps the pacing fast and engaging.

Overall, Snowed in Cabin is a cozy, steamy, and satisfying romance with strong chemistry, forced proximity, and a touch of emotional healing. A perfect pick for a quick, comforting read.
