Snowed In and Snuggled Up Collection
A Little Bit of Sugar
From the Snowed In and Snuggled Up Holiday Collection by New York Times bestselling author Erin Quinn, award-winning and Amazon bestselling author Calista Fox, and USA Today bestselling author Mary Leo:
JT Winchester doesn’t believe there’s magic in Plymouth Rock, Colorado. For him, it’s always represented a cage he couldn’t wait to escape. Yet he’s never forgotten the girl next door who’d captured his heart as a young man. His love for her had been so all consuming and terrifying, that when the chance came to escape both Plymouth Rock and her, he took it.
Madison Lane may be the girl next door, but she has big dreams. The Internet has given her small town business international exposure, and she lives her life the way she wants. Yet something is missing, and no amount of pretending it’s anything other than JT Winchester has ever worked. Now, JT is back in town for Thanksgiving and Madison is reunited with the man who once set her heart and body aflame. They’ve both changed, but one thing has stayed the same—they can’t resist one another.
When the two find themselves snowed in at the cabin JT’s grandfather built, the time for running comes to an end. JT is about to discover he has a lot to be thankful for, like being trapped with the girl who got away . . . like getting a second chance to make things right. And Madison is ready to be brave and get what she wants, the man she’s loved since she was young. For JT and Madison, the magic of Plymouth Rock is about to change their lives.

Je ne veux mentir à personne. Si j’ai voulu lire ce livre, c’est surtout parce que je trouvais le chien, sur la couverture, vachement mignon. Mettez-moi des animaux sur des couvertures et je ne réponds plus de rien.
Madison tient une petite boutique dans sa ville natale qu’elle n’a jamais quittée. C’est une toute petite ville où tout le monde connait tout le monde, où aucun secret n’est gardé très longtemps et où tout le monde sait tout sur tout le monde.
C’est par le biais de certains habitants que Madison apprend que les trois fils Winchester sont de retour pour Noël. Cette nouvelle est devenue le cancan préféré des habitants, et pour cause, cela fait des années que ces trois garçons n’ont plus mis les pieds dans cette ville de Plymouth Rock. La dernière fois qu’ils sont venus, c’est pour l’enterrement de leur grand-père, homme très aimé de tous les habitants.
Madison est perturbée par la nouvelle, mais essaie de ne rien montrer. Elle a eu une relation avec JT, mais ce dernier est parti du jour au lendemain sans jamais donner une seule nouvelle.
JT ne s’attendait pas à être perturbé en revoyant Madison, il était persuadé de ne plus avoir de sentiment pour elle, mais à peine leurs chemins se sont croisés qu’il s’aperçoit avoir encore des sentiments pour elle. Il ne reste que quelques jours et va tout faire pour passer un bon moment avec elle.
A Little Bit of Sugar est une petite romance assez choupinette, qui vous fera avoir le sourire aux lèvres.
Bon, par contre, le chien n’est pas trop présent à mon goût (oui, je suis folle des animaux et alors ?), et son nom me donne la larme à l’œil : Mufasa. Sérieux ? L’auteure veut me faire pleurer en me faisant revivre la scène la plus triste de tous les grands Disney ?
Les personnages sont sympathiques, mais un peu trop communs. Je m’attendais à avoir un peu d’engueulades, mais non. Le lecteur va découvrir à la fin du roman pourquoi le couple s’est séparé, et je ne sais pas pour les autres, mais moi, si j’avais été Madison, j’aurais mis une grosse baffe à JT et je ne lui aurais plus jamais adressé la parole. Après ce n’est que mon opinion.
Madison est fière de vivre dans sa ville, elle montre une grande détermination à vouloir rester, car elle est fière de ses racines, mais il n’y a rien de bien appréciable en plus chez elle. Ses actes sont assez incompréhensibles parfois.
Quant à J.T. disons qu’en plus d’avoir des hallucinations dans la cabane de son grand-père, c’est un homme qui ne sait pas vraiment ce qu’il veut, un peu comme Madison.
Il y avait un personnage secondaire qui me plaisait beaucoup dans cette histoire, et j’ai véritablement été déçue de voir que sa romance serait en tout dans le fond de l’arrière-plan. Pourtant, ça aurait pu donner quelque chose de vraiment mignon.
L’histoire est assez courte, à peine une centaine de pages, mais je me suis un peu ennuyée durant la lecture. Ce n’est pas vraiment une romance qui me plait, c’était agréable à lire, mais sans plus.

The Snowed In & Snuggled Up Holiday Collection follows three brothers returning home and reuniting with lost-loves over the Thanksgiving holiday.
JT Winchester and Madison were hot and heavy back in the day – waaay back in the day. It’s been eleven years since their romance abruptly ended with JT leaving their small town of Plymouth Rock and Madison nursing a broken heart. Now JT is back in town to take care of some family business over the Thanksgiving holiday and he and Madison gravitate back towards each other like magnets – they just can’t stay away from each other. But when it comes to hashing out the details of an actual relationship, these two still can’t seem to get it together – luckily a well-timed snow storm forces them to really talk about what happened all those years ago, what went wrong, and if they can fix those problems for a happily ever after now.
While we know early on that JT and Madison had a particularly nasty break-up, we aren’t really given the details until almost the very end. All we know in the beginning is that the incident had something to do with chocolate donuts – to this day neither of them can even smell chocolate donuts without getting sick. I will admit I was deeply curious about the “Chocolate Donut Incident” all the way through the book until it was finally explained – and it was not what I was expecting at all.
You don’t often see holiday romances set around Thanksgiving, so I was happy for a little change from the usual. However, I kind of felt like Thanksgiving was only very briefly mentioned at all in this book, so while this is a romance set around a holiday, it is not what I would normally think of as a “holiday romance”. While JT and Madison’s relationship drama is the main focus of A Little Bit Of Sugar, it’s pretty clear that the distance between the Winchester brothers, the hole left in the family by the death of their beloved patriarch, and the return of their estranged father will be threads running through the entire collection, tying the books together.
Overall, this was a great, quick romance, set in cute small town, with some great characters (there’s an especially enjoyable cast of secondary characters in this that I particularly enjoyed). I eagerly look forward to returning to the magical little town of Plymouth Rock in the next two books of the the Snowed In & Snuggled Up Holiday Collection to see what happens with the remaining Winchesters and their ladyloves and to watch the Winchester family further heal the cracks in their relationships.
*I received a copy of this book to review. You can find this review and others like it at BookAndCoffeeAddict.com, along with recommendations for a fantastic cup of coffee.

This is the first story in the 'Snowed In and Snuggled Up Holiday Collection'. This was the first book that I read from this author, and I really enjoyed her writing style. The way she describes Grandpa Win and the family cabin, Madison's dog, Mufasa (Moof for short), and the gossipy townsfolk really made me feel like I was there in the story :) JT considers Madison the 'one that got away' but he actually left her behind. Madison has a successful life but she feels like something's missing. These two get snowed in at Grandpa Win's cabin with Moof.... and eventually saw fireworks! I don't want to spoil it for others, but I will say that I read this short book in almost one sitting, lol. I became engrossed and had to know what happened next.
I will definitely add start to follow this author and can't wait to read more books from her in the future.
