Blizzard Bound

My Over the Top Possessive Alpha Harem #6

by Sharan Daire

Stranded in a blizzard—with former professional hockey players now living as lumberjack mountain men

My life is a literal dumpster fire. I hate my cubicle corporate job—and I just caught my boss burning files in the dumpster behind the building.

I'm done. 

I'm done with boring spreadsheets. My tiny, miserable apartment. My lying, cheating ex-husband who took me for everything I had except our dog. Most of all, I'm done with the snow and cold of Colorado. I only moved here for my ex, and I hate the snow. So I pack up my bags, load my Husky into the car, and head home to visit my parents in Vegas.

Only to slide off the mountain road in the middle of a blizzard.

Luckily for me, a lumberjack complete with flannel and beard comes to my rescue, though with his partially shaved head, he looks like a rock star. A former professional hockey player turned homesteader, he takes me to his friend's cabin, but no one's home. He goes looking for his buddy, leaving me in the snug, cozy cabin. I dose off...

Only to wake up to a grumpy giant glaring at me.

He's furious to find an unwanted female guest in his home, especially when he finds out his friend dropped me off. Evidently he thinks I'm a hockey groupie, even though I have no idea who he is. Talk about mistaken identity. I don't know anything about the sport.

When yet another bearded man shows up for dinner, I wonder if I've stumbled into Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Only there's just four lumberjacks.

And me.

****3.5****

This was a sweet, cheesy, smutty insta-love reverse harem. I was looking for something light and fun as a palate-cleanser, and this hit the spot.

Fair warning, though: it's apparently a two-part story, so it doesn't wrap up here. Not really a cliffhanger, though, so I don't mind too much.

Absolutely loved this book. Darby is amazing. I love how she is putting her life back together and how she brings out the best in all the boys. Such a great story. Lots of laughs, a few tears and lots of spicy scenes. Can't wait for the next book to see what happens next.

I don’t know what happened, but this wasn’t for me.
It almost reads as a diary of a divorcee and I actually felt awkward reading this. I love the idea of writing to heal yourself, but somehow this was like a dream fantasy divorce payback scenario and it didn’t mesh with me. Super weird, because I have adored the other books under this pen name. It was this super fast dazzling whirlwind that was suddenly one guy out there pestering his friends to get with his girl and I didn’t feel like I had the background or communication needed to back it up.
I found it to be a pretty slow start, and by the time fun stuff was happening I’d already checked out and started skimming. Not to spoil ice night, but if it still had my attention I maybe would have loved this. Or found it super hammy. I have no idea; by the time I got there I was just indifferent. I did read it while super tired, which may have had an impact, but ultimately I just didn’t care about anything going on in here.
It's low on smut, (or I’ve just read too many way higher in smut recently) but teases with the promise of more. This is planned as part one of a duet for the characters in the series according to the author note at the end (Scrap that; she’s since said trilogy and she thought we’d all know. Maybe don’t number it book four when book five already exists). *Addendum* The author now has a book breakdown in the blurb that should clear anything up.* For how insta the rest of it is it seems weird to drag one guy out like this, especially as we all know exactly how this will end. My prediction is pregnant with multiples by the end of the third book.

**Caution:** This book is dangerously hard to put down—you might just read straight through until your alarm rings. A fairytale life? Not even close. Her worthless ex has claimed half of the business she poured her heart into, forcing her to sell out. Then she arrives at work just in time to see her boss burning financial files in the dumpster—right before the police show up to arrest him. As if that weren’t enough, she ends up sliding off the road in a blizzard on her way to grab a little sun and downtime with her parents in Vegas. What follows is a steamy, dreamy, why-choose fairytale set against a Colorado winter wonderland.

I enjoyed this book so much and can't wait for the rest of Darby's story! I have loved all of this author's stories but I think this one was my fav, and that's a hard thing to decide! I super love WC when the guys are all comfortable with each other and not constantly "no homo, bro", whether in sex scenes or every day interactions. These guys are truly comfortable with themselves and each other and love each other with a fierceness that has nothing to do with their sexuality.

I recommend this book to everyone who loves WC and Found Family and Huskies. <3

I really enjoyed reading this book however I think it doesn’t stand up as strongly to the author’s earlier books in the series. It felt very booktok coded than Hallmark movie (as the author labels it) which may be someone’s cup of tea but at times felt juvenile to me.

I was also not a fan of the lack of heads up that this isn’t a stand alone.

Waiting... (not patiently)

Need book 2! Now!..... please 🙏 🥺
Really enjoyed the characters and story. love a canine side kick that's included, not just mentioned once or twice. 💖
If you're into insta love reverse harem with some angsty drama from one of the guys, then this is the book for you.

Awesome!

Darby's life has suddenly gone crazy.....again. First her marriage and now she finds out her boss has been doing illegal stuff. His boss gives her a couple of weeks off and she decides to visit her parents.
Of course, nothing goes as planned and she ends up stranded in her car in a blizzard.

Snow and adorable Husky

This book was really fun to read. Skadi the adorable attention seeker is a show stealing dog! I like the difference in each friend, how they compliment one another and the bond they’ve shared for decades. The scenes on ice were pure magic.

Need the Sequel

Such a great story - need the sequel! Love the dynamics of the friendships and Darby finds someone x at least 2 to treat her well but needs the full story now. They are a package deal!

Finished the book to discover that it’s the first in a duet. Didn’t love it enough to carry on with another book of this story.

This story was great!

Loved the characters in this story. The plot wasn't rushed and the heat index was off the charts. Can't wait for the next installment!!!!
