Snowed

by Vi Keeland, Penelope Ward

New York Times Bestselling Authors, Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward, bring you three new, sexy short stories to heat up your holidays!

Merry Inkmas
When my boss got fed up with the constant bickering between me and another tattoo artist, she decided a company retreat was in order. But when Cade and I wound up snowed in alone at the cabin, things took a turn. There’s a reason they say there’s a fine line between love and hate, and we had no idea which way things were going to turn out.

The Christmas Card
When my ex got engaged pretty quickly after we broke up, I did something stupid. I made up a new boyfriend. How would anyone ever know? They wouldn’t. Unless my fake boyfriend showed up at my ex’s annual Christmas party.

The Twelve Dates of Christmas
I somehow got roped into my matchmaker best friend’s holiday dating event, The Twelve Dates of Christmas. The only part I actually enjoyed was shamelessly flirting with her brother, who had a front-row seat to every disaster from behind his bar. Four-years-younger Tucker was infuriatingly hot and always off-limits. It turned out while I was looking for holiday sparks in all the wrong places, Tucker was the one lighting me up.

4.5 / 5 stars ⭐️

This book is composed of 3 sweet and short romance stories with a touch of Christmas cheer 🎄. I loved the fact that each story was unique and unconventional. The chemistry & tension between the MC's in each short story was palpable and beautifully written. The plots are original, and the MCs are mature yet not boring.

The only downside is that there's no spice 🌶 but this book is still definitely worth picking up.

Happy reading! 📚

This was a collection of three very short stories by a writing duo that I usually enjoy. This book was no different.

The stories themselves were very short, easy to listen to stories that were fairly superficial and with almost no depth. BUT....because it is the Christmas time of year, I was totally okay with that. I didn't need to expend any brain power while listening, I just got to listen to and enjoy three fun stories that all ended in HEA's.

Sometimes that is all you need.

All 3 novellas were very cute. Medium level spice/steam, well narrated. A quick little bit of holiday.

I really enjoyed this anthology of holiday novellas/short stories. They were light hearted and easy to listen to. I enjoyed how all the stories were unique.

This is the third holiday anthology of holiday novellas that Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward have written together and I have truly enjoyed all of them. I look forward to these throughout the years and can’t wait for more.

I would totally recommend this holiday anthology and their others.

Listened to on @audible
Each story was narrated by a different duo of narrators. I loved the narration and getting introduced to some new narrators I will be listening to more of.

Merry Inkmas narrated by Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais

The Christmas Card narrated by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York

The Twelve Dates of Christmas by Erin Mallon and Sean Masters

3 short holiday stories make up Snowed. My favorite is the Christmas Card. It’s about a woman who makes up a boyfriend a year ago after her boyfriend ditched her for a co-worker. She got drunk and made a sexy Christmas card using Nolan’s photo from Facebook and sent it to her ex. Then he walks into a party where she and her ex are at. He plays along and it was a lot of fun.

Then I really liked The Twelve Dates of Christmas where it’s best friend’s brother (Tucker). She is set up on 12 dates, but Tucker is the only one she connected with.

The first story is Merry Inkmas. It is about 2 co-workers who are set up, because they don’t get along. They don’t get along, because they want each other. They were snowed in.

They were quick and fun!

I really had a fun time with this holiday short story collection, as I have with their previous collections.

However, this was the first collection from them that I listened to versus reading with my eyes. Each duo of the narrators did a wonderful job bringing each story to life.

My favorite story of the three was The Christmas Card. A very close second was Merry Inkmas. I found myself laughing out loud while listening to both of these stories.

Unfortunately, The Twelve Dates of Christmas was a bit disappointing. It was sweet and heartwarming. Sadly, it lacked the humor the first two had.

These two authors continue to be favourites of mine.

this Christmas book has three stories in it that you get for one price a big bag for your buck. each story is quite original I don't think I've ever heard anything quite like them they are actually quite adorable all of them. they're all recorded by different narrators and the narrators do an excellent job. I want to tell you about them but at the same time I don't want to mix them up or miss something that I would want to tell you so what I'm going to tell you that is they're all adorable I enjoyed every single one of them and I would recommend them in a heartbeat. Especially if you're looking for something short And to just fill in a little bit of time they're perfect.

Once again, another fun set of Christmas novellas. There are 3 separate stories about different characters in this one set. There was romance, humor & fun settings during the Christmas season. They may be short, but they felt complete enough to make me very happy at the end. I always look forward to Penelope & Vi’s Holiday novellas.

It's an enjoyable fast read, Sebastian York makes all the difference in the second novella, my favourite.

This book was made up of three separate wintery novellas. All cute and fun. They know how to write novellas that actually work.
