Snowed In

Rate this book
This was supposed to be my first official appearance, my introduction as the new face of my family’s empire.

It was not supposed to turn into a f*cking trap, imprisoning in the middle of nowhere during a blizzard.

Matters shift from bad to worse when I find myself stranded and dependent on her. Lena, the beautiful but impertinent small town girl who offers me shelter.

We didn’t get off to a good start, but now we’re forced to ride out this damn blizzard together, trapped in her strange house, snapping at each other and bantering back and forth like an old couple, even though we just met.

It may be the alluring depth of sadness in her ocean blue eyes, her flawless porcelain skin, or the sweet and tantalizing lure of the mulled wine she’s making – but something tells me, she’s ready to take what I have to offer.
She’s not sassy by default, but she’s awaking the monster in me.

And there’s nowhere for either of us to run.

This is a sweet novella. It doesn't start out that way for sure, with both characters Lena and Jason colliding with each other and Lena's sandwiches going all over Jason and the floor. Both have big things going on at this convention and now neither are putting their best step forward.

These two do turn their first meeting into something so much more. I really enjoyed them.

The perfect storm...

I received an Advance Reader Copy for Snowed In: A Billionaire Winter Novella written by Linnea May and voluntarily reviewed this book. Was it fate which caused Jason Connor to lose his cool for colliding bodily with Lena outside the convention center, just before his important presentation? Nevertheless, he finds himself caught right in the middle of a burgeoning snow storm soon thereafter, stranded in a small town called Greymeadow, and as luck would have it, Jason runs into the very same waitress whom he had ripped into for being a total klutz around him.

Lena didn’t know what else to think when she sees the sexy but nasty man walk into the diner where she worked, but when prompted by the owner and good friend to offer Jason shelter from the storm after her shift, she begrudgingly does so, not knowing anything else about him other than what he has shown thus far. From there, they engage in a very secluded tryst while they get to know each other better and explore their shared interests in the dirty girl stories she seems so fond of reading…until the severe storm stops, and Jason has to be on his way again.

A sexy and enjoyable little read, from an author who knows just how to get right down to the nitty-gritty of wants and needs and makes it happen!

A hot, fast paced novella, that will keep every romance lover warm this winter.
Lena and Jason's first meeting is disastrous, and Lena takes a while to calm down. And the ice that had formed between them doesn't get a to thaw until a chance meeting in a snow blizzard. There's great chemistry and a smoking hot romance a foot.
A well paced story with sensitive, mild bdsm action. A very enjoyed, quick read!

In Snowed In, author Linnea May proves again how she’s a master at bookending a story with a provocative prologue and an enchanting epilogue to truly position it to shine.

The reader is treated to a quickly evolving, although natural-feeling, attraction between Jason and Lena. What starts out as a volatile, rude, and aggravating chance meeting that rapidly escalates into an enemies-to-lovers relationship gets a second chance when Jason finds himself stopping for a break from driving in the small town of Greymeadow en route to New York City during a blizzard. Much to her surprise, Lena finds herself offering the handsome, stranded stranger a place to stay until the roads and airport reopen. It’s at this point in the story, through creatively scripted dialogue balancing humor, the sharing of personal history, natural conversation and domestic-type activities, and inserting an injured squirrel into the mix, that the characters become relatable, likeable, and believable.

The sex is scorching between these two, and it evolves into more than physical attraction. The strength of this story is built on the characters themselves, including their personalities, vulnerabilities, and differences, instead of the environment and supporting characters (with the squirrel being the exception to that point).

The parts of this book that resonated the most with me above and beyond the strong prologue/epilogue were Jason’s character and how he was a deeper, warmer, and more well-intentioned guy than I would’ve thought originally, and the final scene in the book (pre-epilogue).

Once again, May delivers a sweetly erotic story with memorable characters and the best-ever ending for them.

Opposites Attract!!!

WOW!!!! Opposites really do attract in this book. Jason is so stressed about proving himself at this convention representing his fathers security business that he doesn't notice the woman with boxes calling out for him to hold the door. When Lena collides with the handsome convention attendee and sandwiches fly through the air like missiles and stain his white shirt she is mortified until he opens his mouth and yells at her. Jason admits to himself he acted out of character, like an a$$, due to stress and tries to apologize but things don't go accordingly. When Jason becomes stranded in the little town in the boondocks due to a blizzard he is surprised when Lena is the one to offer him a place to stay, but so is she, after the way he treated her, even though he can't get her off his mind since meeting her. Once at Lena's home he discovers her "guilty pleasure" by the books she reads and offers to fulfill her dreams. After an experience like no other she finds out exactly who he is she shuts down and puts space between them causing questions in Jason's mind WTH!! They both know their time together will only last until the storm breaks but will their hearts break at the same time??? Can two people so connected but from different worlds make a lasting relationship??? You'll enjoy the banter between Jason and Lena and love the experience he had meeting Risu, the squirrel. The sex scenes are steaming hot but their getting to know each other conversations are so real you can feel what they feel. Take a chance on this fated couple and one click today, you'll love it.

I voluntarily read an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I just finished reading Snowed In and I loved it! Things started off a little rocky for Lena and Jason. She's trying to make it in the door to an event she's catering, and Jason is being a complete ass, ignoring her pleas for help with holding the door open for her. To make matters worse, after the disaster of dropping her boxed meals when the door hits her, Jason takes his frustrations of his upcoming conference out on her by yelling at her about the stains her food has left on his clothes! He realizes immediately how he's behaving, but he's just too overwhelmed from the responsibilities of this conference to care. The conference goes well, and he plans to leave the next day for the airport, figuring everyone is just over dramatizing the blizzard that's supposed to hit.

Lena is working at the diner the day of the blizzard. When Jason comes into the diner, Lena's still a little peeved at him for his behavior the day of the conference. He apologizes for his bad attitude and asks if there's anywhere for him to stay because road conditions are so bad and all flights were cancelled. Lena's coworker, Mrs. Lynn, says there's no place around, but reminds Lena that she has room! With a little apprehension, Lena offers for Jason to stay with her.

What happens when they get to Lena's place had my emotions all over the place! It was sweet at times, funny at times (squirrel!), and so incredibly HOT!!! This was a great read and I would highly recommend it!

A sexy, steamy novella with a hint of BDSM. It's extremely hot and very enjoyable. It makes me want to find a billionaire and hope for a blizzard.

In the beginning Jason is a jerk but he soon opens up after a stressful convention. He becomes a gentleman in puublic and a strong, alpha male behind doors.
Lena is pure sweetness all over. She makes sure she thinks of everyone first even if she is breaking promises to her late grandmother.
When Jason and Lena get together it's instant sparks that keep you wanting more. Great storyline throughout and the ending is an HEA but it seems to end abruptly. I was like I just wanted another chapter or 2 to see how it works out.

A sexy little read with a bit of naughty!

Lena works at a diner. She’s on her own, no family. She’s making a food delivery at a convention when some jerk in a suit causes her to drop all the food! He may be hot, but he’s a complete d!ck! They exchange heated words and he storms off unapologetically!

And then fate happens. Mr. D!ck gets stuck in a blizzard while heading home to nyc. He stops at a diner because he just can’t continue driving. And he sees the girl who’s sandwiches he ruined! Of all the diners, he stopped at hers.

There’s a blizzard, in the middle of a small town, no hotels & no way to get anywhere, so Lena offers Jason a place to stay. These two get snowed in!

A business man born into money not looking for any ties. A lonely waitress, working at a diner, in a small town with no solid plans for her future. An unlikely match, but sometimes there’s no choice. Things just fall into place.

Enjoy this steamy read! Perfect to keep you warm on a cold, winter night.

Lena and Jason are Snowed In long enough to begin their HEA!

This is another excellent steamy romance by an excellent romance author! Even if you are not a big fan of choking which I am not, this author writes great romances that allow me to ignore what I do not like. Lena came to America when she was a teenager to live with her grandmother after her parents died. She has made a good life for herself but did not reach for the stars like her Oma told her to. Jason inherited wealth and a big responsibility to expand it. They meet at a convention where she is serving food and he is giving a presentation. Then they get Snowed In and all kinds of romantic things happen to both of them. I received a gifted copy. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review. I honestly love this story and this author!

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book for my honest opinion of which I'm under no obligation to do so. I enjoyed the supporting cast in Aileen and Mrs. Lynn who work at the diner with Lena, Jason at first came across as contemptible but once you realised the stress he was under and the fact he did apologise I grew to like him. Jason and Lena came together because of a snow storm, made me laugh at his wariness of Risu the squirrel. Erotic steamy scenes between them, BDSM I love to read but was uncomfortable with a certain aspect of it as that's not my thing but don't let that stop you reading this great read. Linnea is an awesome author and I can honestly say I recommend this book.

The sparks are flying from their very first meeting. There’s chemistry in spades between Jason and Lena and we get to watch it all unfold. Even though their first meeting could be the poster child for “what’s the worst that could happen?”, this pair has more in common than they realize. A blizzard and an impassable road gives them time to explore those common interests. But once the roads are clear again, will Jason be a man he can be proud of or will he still be too worried about his father’s opinions? This was a sweet and spicy quick read, and I loved seeing Jason come out from inside his ‘arrogant jerk’ shell. Risu the squirrel was a delightful touch of comedy in the story.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book.

I want to chuckle about the reactions of the two characters throughout the book especially at the beginning when they first meet. Lena and Jason have reactions that are so real like and you can just picture them as real people that you know. The story as always is beautifully written and the flow of the story is amazing. I loved the humor in the story and lord Jason with "the Little Rodent" is so funny. I can just picture it in my mind exactly as it is written. There is hot romance that does not disappoint. Even through this is a Novella it doesn't leave you hanging like wow there should have been more that it feels unsatisfied. No, this gives you all the nitty and gritty and you will enjoy every moment of it. I voluntarily review an advanced reader copy of this book.

Snowed In by Linnea May
I loved this story.
Lena is a small to girl who started living with her Oma when she was fifteen. Her grandma dies and leaves her the house but she wants her to sell and move on. She is carrying six boxes of food for the convention, Jason is just going in the door and she wants to make it to the door before it closes. She loses half of the grease sandwiches and hits his shirt with one. They each blame the other. I really enjoyed reading this story. It is one of the funniest, sweetest and sexyist book I have read. I would rate this story a ten, it made me laugh, cry, and pulled me right into this story. It was hard to put down, and if you don't mind BDSM this is a great book for you. I received an ARC and have voluntarily left a review.

This is a heartwarming Christmas tale of Lena and “the gazillionaire” Jason. After a spectacularly poor start, Jason meets Lena for a second time. He cannot get home due to a blizzard and she invites him to stay at her house. Having met a few gold diggers in his lifetime, Jason doesn’t have relationships. He and Lena have a powerful sexual connection between them, and the intimate scenes are scorching as Lena embraces everything Jason provides. This is a beautiful tale of a perfect fit between near strangers, and taking a risk to see what's left after the storm blows over.

I loved the latest from Linnea May. When Lena and Jason first meet their impression of the other isn't a good one, with her crashing into him, spilling the sandwiches on him and him being a royal jerk. But a snowstorm has them both getting a second chance to make a lasting impression. When Lena gives Jason a place to weather out the storm the sparks between them fly, but when the storm clears and the real world calls will they be able to leave what they found behind? Add in an adorable little squirrel that Jason isn't very fond of and I loved the book. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

When disaster strikes you really don’t want to think about it striking again, in fact you don’t want to think about it at all. However when disaster comes in the form of a very striking gentleman well all bets are off on that one. In this novella by Ms. May her readers are treated to a quick but lovely story about a very fast romance involving a small town orphan and a big city heir. While the romance is quick the heat is hotter. There are a lot of BDSM parts so be aware that this is not tame by any imagination. Take a moment and curl up with your BOB while you indulge in a little snowed in.

Fate brought them together. This is one of the best books I have read of Linnea May. A really sweet, sexy romance with a cute rescued squirrel (aka the tree rat) called Risu. Jason Conner and Lena do not start off well on first meeting. A typical love hate relationship that turns to them stuck in a blizzard together. Lena has been wanting domination for years and didn’t realise it. Jason gives her all that she needs and what she didn’t know she needed. Fantastic Christmassy must read. This is my honest review of an ARC I received.

Snowed in but hot inside!
This story starts with an unpleasant encounter between a rather shy caterer and a thoughtlessly rude billionaire, Both are thoroughly disgusted of the other and resentfully retreat into their respective worlds.
Until a blizzard brings them together again, and they are forced to spend a couple of days in close proximity.
That's when the sparks start to fly! They spend those days...... Well you'll have to find out for yourself!
This is a kinky, sweet tale that leaves you guessing till the end!?

A great story with plenty of chemistry between the Jason and Lena. It was lust/hate at first site and then holy heck did the sparks fly along with the snow in the worst blizzard of the century. This book had some of the hottest sex scenes I have read in awhile so have a cool glass of something or a spritzer handy to spray yourself down. Needless to say, I loved this book and would like to read "the rest of the story" to see how their lives play out. Please Linnea May, perhaps this can be a series???

I loved this novella.  I really liked how the characters developed and how their relationship progressed.
Lena works at a diner that also cators events at the convention center in a neighboring town.  While delivering an order, she bumps into one of the attendees (Jason)....literally.  Lena inadvertently dumps half of her delivery on Jason, blaming him for not holding the door.   Under a lot of stress to represent his ideas for his father's company, Jason unleashes a torrent of anger toward Lena, blaming her for his ruined shirt.  Then, stranded during a snowstorm, he is put in an awkward position when he is dependent upon Lena's assistance.
I utterly fell in love with these two, and am so hoping for a sequel!!

An inauspicious meeting leads to romance in this sexy novella. Tense and on edge right before he needs to make a presentation at a conference, Jason becomes irate when he has a run-in with caterer Lena. A day or two later the two meet again at the diner Lena works at. Lena is in no mood for Jason's apologies but as a blizzard rages outside, she takes pity on him and offers him a place to wait it out. This entertaining story is a great read. It's funny and sweet and the sex is hot, hot, hot! Loved the ending.

**I received this ARC in exchange for an honest voluntary review** Not my favorite story from Linnea but not exactly bad either. Not much of a storyline other than the two don't get off on the right foot and then get stuck together during a snowstorm. Didn't seem like the main characters meshed together very well. Even though this book has BDSM, their play time seemed a bit forced as well. Did like the verbal teasings they would give each other, the bit of comic relief with Risu the squirrel and some background on German culture.

Lena's first run-in with Jason Conner is not a pleasant one, hoping not to see the angry man who she might find appealing physically again, is not in the cards for her. Fate has other plans in mind for this unlikely pair!
Oh, yes! I gotta say, this was the break from reality I needed! A hot, fierce, funny, fast-moving Holiday romance that kept me swiping pages following along as these two explored each other, minds, bodies and hearts!
Another spectacular yummy romance from Linnea May!

After a disastrous first meeting, Lena and Jason get off on the wrong foot. Lena by nature though is pretty forgiving. When he turns up needing shelter, she offers her own home despite not really knowing him. A blizzard brings them together, but will reality keep them apart?
Very hot chemistry between the characters, good storyline. I really liked Lena, and how down to earth she seemed. Great book.

The cover of this book makes this look like a sweet romance...ah, no. This was a BDSM read that was another good release from Linnea. Lena finds herself inviting a stranger, Jason, to stay at her house during a terrible snowstorm. He has nowhere to go and there are no hotels in the small town. Jason introduces Lena to a sexual experience she thought she'd never have.

Great read from beginning to end with interesting characters and smartly written story about a big city billionaire stranded by a blizzard and the small town girl who takes him in. I enjoyed the sizzling chemistry and repartee between Jason and Lena as they get to know each other and share skin scorching intimacy. Snowed In is a must-read for romance fans.

A really cute and romantic story. Sparks fly in more than one way between the billionaire and the waitress that end up stranded together by a blizzard. The addition of the recovering squirrel was ingenious. Ms. May’s writing made the story seem possible.
