BOOK DETAILS BELOW

Bri, moved to Bear mountain because her parents died and she's with her grandparents.

Man's name is Wilder and he stepped into Bri's grandma's shop to get things

When I finally look up, I see a woman behind the counter that I know I’ve never seen in town before. I’d never miss eyes like hers

Insta love-lust is present, without fail.

What the actual fuck is happening to me right now? I feel possessed

and man is not in control of himself.

Of course it was Bri's turn to be at the counter so she asked:

Can I get your sausage? Her voice is breathy as she says it

Girl, already?

And Wilder has such a good time embarrassing her until he notices the wedding ring on her finger and assumes she's off limits:

As beautiful as she is, as much as I want her, I won’t go after a married woman

But what he doesn't know is the ring isn't hers but from her mother. He's beating himself about it

That’s what I thought happened today, but fate is a cruel bitch. I’ve met the woman that I’m supposed to marry, but she’s already taken

And after he walked out of the store Bri is thinking how can she wrap herself around

I never really thought I had a type, but clearly I want them to have thighs as thick as tree trunks

Wilder. And Grandma dearest tells her to fix things:

Then you can explain this. She taps my mom's wedding ring on my finger

because Wilder left a box behind and that's a perfect excuse for Cupid.

But on the way there because of the storm Bri gets into an accident and Wilder has no choice but to be the hero of the day. Grandma also called him up and told him to take extra good care of her because she's not married. He sees a bleeding Bri:

Ice is seeping into my veins, and it’s not because of the chill; it’s because I’m panicking

but still manages to use his frozen brain to get her out in time. And because he doesn't want her to be that hurt:

As gently as I can, I unbutton her jeans and pull them down her legs just in case she’s injured there

he strips her and it's only because he doesn't want her to be in pain

And right at that moment, Bri wakes up but bad news:

Who are you? she asks, her brows pulling together in confusion

she doesnt remember Mr Thick Thighs who conveniently tells her he's her husband. Man, I never expected this fucking plot twist.

Bri, obviously fell for it:

My husband. Damn, I’m one lucky girl

And while he takes off her sweater and bra (because she's freezing remember) Bri has other thoughts:

With him looming over me while I’m sitting on the sofa, I can’t help but notice the outline of his erection through his jeans. I’ve got a terrible headache, but still I’m getting all turned on staring at my husband and thinking about our sex life

I mean there's no right time to get turned on soooooooo.

Wilder tells Bri they're "something like newlyweds" so does that mean they haven't done anything? Is that what he's trying to put across? Because Bri is out here trying to figure out herself:

It’s so weird not knowing myself. Do we have kids? Wilder pauses, and his body tenses again

But he soon answers all her questions and it has Bri in heart eyes and him wrapped around her pinky:

She kisses me softly and sweetly like she’s done it a thousand times, and maybe in another life we have

and when Wilder wanted to keep it PG, Bri invited him under the blanket to be warm. Oh they're getting warm for sure.

I think this is going to keep me wide awake. Bri rolls her hips and rubs her pussy against the long ridge of my hard cock

Does temporary memory loss comes with an increased need for sex? One moment she wanted to know her life the next she:

It hurts there now. I grind myself against him shamelessly

has a big booboo on her vagina and she gets what she wants: cum on her. But not so real action.

After which Bri and Wilder were soaking in the hot-tub when his sister walked in on them. Wilder then asked her to pretend Bri and him were married. But Bri gets suspicious of it:

Tell me what’s going on, Wilder. I’m all over the place, and I can’t remember anything about us

And instead of telling the truth Wilder:

reach between us and rub it in. I smear it all over her and then move my fingers between her legs to push it inside her too

wants to impregnate her instead because that answers everything!

Don’t you think it’s better to tell me whatever it is you’re keeping from me than me just remembering on my own?

Bri still isn't satisfied. Which leaves Wilder with no choice but to stop fucking around and tell her the truth:

He pauses for a long moment before he drops the bomb on me. You’re not married to anyone

And Bri wants out because she was snuggling up to a big, thick liar:

Her smile is watery and so sad. But I can’t do this, Wilder. I can’t be the person you need me to be

Until somehow Wilder seduces her back into his bed:

Will you make love to me now?

and she want it so bad and they keep doing it again and again until I'm bored reading it.

And this story hits peak cheesiness when:

His hand slips up under my sweater to rest on my stomach. You also might be eating for two

In classic AR style not only did she nail an epilogue of 15 years into the future, she also has fulfilled all the impregnation kinks and pleased all insta love-lust admirers.

[Elizabeth Neal]

I have to say it. No grown woman (probably not even a teenage girl) will burst (which means yes, the door was closed) into her brother's bathroom. Regardless of what he's doing in there, chances are some, if not all, parts of him are naked. Eww.

Mejor que la novela anterior. Sigue sin ser de lo mejor que he leido de Alexa Riley pero fue entretenido y lo lei sin darme cuenta.

Respecto a lo que suele escribir este duo, A Blizzard Of Love es bastante tibio, obviamente hay insta love ( no seria Alexa Riley si no lo hubiese ) pero la historia es mas tierna ( y exagerada ) que torrida.

Creo que leere el siguiente, para descubrir con quien termina Natalie.

2.5 Estrellas!

Fire as always. I love a HEA on the go. I also enjoy this whole mountain men series. Wilder is just my type. Also who doesn’t love a bit of amnesia mixed with insta-love?!

I’m interested to read Natalie’s book and read about the man she finds, if the author chooses to write one for her.

Meh 😒

I loved this one so much- I always get so excited when AR releases another book, and this one, in particular, was just so fun to read.

These books truly do terrible things to my standards, but I just love them.

Just the late night steamy read that I needed.

Stand alone, but the hero was introduced in A Flurry of Love

[Lauren · Rating 4 out of 5]

First things first; I like the cover of this book!
A blizzard of love is the second book in the ‘’
This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Wilder wants Bri the moment he meets her. After a misunderstanding, he walks away. When Bri loses her memory in an accident will Wilder have a second chance?
The chemistry between Bri and Wilder is clear to see and I loved them together. I thought they made a cute couple.
I liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I look forward to more books from this series.

[Tabatha Reed · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was really sweet. I decided to check it out after seeing an Alexa Riley TikTok about it. Instalove, snowed in with a blizzard, amnesia from a head injury and a classically perfect hero, who will do anything to keep his heroine.

Cover 3/5

Story 3.5/5
Heat 2/5
Angst 2/5

Slow burn BUT this is only 99 pages so it definitely doesn't feel like a slow burn. There is some steam earlier in the book but the do the deed at 70%.

The virginity thing was vague so I'm not certain if they were both virgins, neither or just one of them.
No manwhore
Slight push away from h
No OW/OM drama
No separation
No cheating
No scenes with others
No cliffhanger

Safety - this is safe, though he does briefly and mistakenly believe she's married.

A Blizzard of Love

HERO /HEROINE:
Bri is living in Bear Mountain with her grandparents after the sudden death of her parents. She is heartbroken and trying to start over.

Wilder has lived on the mountain for his entire life. He has a twin sister named Natalie and cousin, Connor, who is like a brother to him. He loves living in his cabin which is the most secluded place in the mountain. Recently he's grown out his hair and beard long so he looks like the ultimate mountain man

OVERALL THOUGHTS:
A large snowstorm and car accident bring Wilder and Bri together under one roof and someone takes advantage of amnesia.

Wilder is beyond sweet. In chapter two he is about to make a move on Bri, but notices the wedding ring she wears, it's her mother's, and he immediately respects that she is married. It breaks his heart and confuses him, but he backs off completely. I thought it was a great example of showing his integrity. And then he spoiled it a bit by telling an amnesiac Bri that he's her husband! Hot in a book, creepy irl.

SAFETY

AGE:
Bri is around 18 and Wilder early 20s up to 25

SEXUAL HISTORY:
It's really not discussed. There are no descriptive words used other than like tight, no blood during sex or “barrier” mentioned. But I'm assuming like most AR stories, Bri is a virgin and Wilder may not be.

CONDOMS:
No

TUMMY BUTTERFLIES:
Dry humping, oral sex, fingering, somnophilia, vaginal sex

PUSH/PULL:
Wilder pulls away when he notices Bri wearing a diamond wedding ring. But goes for her when he finds out that it was her mother's ring and she isn't married.
Bri pushes Wilder away when she starts remembering her parents death and how she met him.

SEPARATION:
At most two hours

CHEATING:
No

OW (Other Woman)/OM (Other Man) drama:
No

SEX SCENE WITH OW/OM:
No

POSSIBLE PET PEEVES/TRIGGERS:
Death of parents, car accident, amnesia

HEA/HFN:
HEAquite a bit ahead in time, married with teens

Libro: A Blizzard of Love

4.5/5
🖤🖤🖤🖤
.
Bri perdió recientemente a sus padres y ahora está en Bear Mountain con sus abuelos sobrellevando el dolor. Entonces conoce a Wilder, un guapo hombre de montaña que entra en la tienda y hace temblar su mundo.
Wilder también siente el tirón, él sabe que acaba de encontrar a su alma gemela, pero hay un malentendido y sale corriendo. Bri tendrá que seguirlo y aquí tenemos un accidente con perdida de memoria, jeje luego un falso matrimonio y un romance para un feliz por siempre.
.
Me encantó como se desarrolló toda la historia a partir de la amnesia temporal, Wilder siendo un esposo falso es tan romanticooooooo que es obvio que Bri no podrá irse sin enamorarse. Me encantaron muchas escenas y lo tierno que llegan a hacer estos dos. Tenemos el toque caliente de AR y epílogos muy lindos.

Bri ha venido a vivir con sus abuelos después de la muerte de sus padres. Ella siempre ha sido una chica alegre que veía lo bueno en el mundo pero desde esa fatalidad no ha vuelto a sonreír... Hasta que conoce a Wilder. Su madre siempre dijo que su padre era un hombre de la montaña y que cuando lo conoció fue amor a primera vista, y esperaba que Bri encontrase a su propio hombre montaña... Parece ser que sí lo ha encontrado.

Me ha encantado pero os juro que me come el ansia por saber la historia de Natalie. Es que por favoooooor la necesito!! Me da que sospechar eso de que digan que el perro es su novio 🤔 jajaja en fin que me desvío. Esta historia ha estado genial como todas, dulce, rápida, con un poquito de amnesia y un par de mentirijillas por el medio pero siempre con final ultra feliz! Recomendado para pasar el ratito!

[Tiffany Shaw · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some days you need a deep detailed book that will get you in its clutches and not let go until you have been emotionally destroyed. Other days you need a short and sweet story that is more fluff than anything else. And some days you need all the spice/heat that a book has to offer. A blizzard of Love is just that all spice. There’s bits and pieces of a story somewhere in there but this is mostly Heat. And I’m not complaining. As an avid Alexa Riley fan I know exactly what I signed up for so this is 3 strong stars for me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Donna · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bri meets Wilder and the sparks fly but he sees her ring and thinks she’s married. Poor Wilder finds the woman of his dreams only to misunderstand why she’s wearing that diamond ring. Grandma sends Bri to Wilder and then isn’t worried that the mountain man won’t protect her. An accident leaves Bri without any memories but he’s keeping her calm and helping her fall in love with him. Terrifically romantic he lets her tease and torment him and vows to love her always. His twin Natalie really does have the worst timing! I can’t wait for her love story.

[Dania · Rating 2 out of 5]

Fue entretenido. Un libro corto, con un insta love.

Bri y Wilder quedan flechados el un por el trato al instante en el que se conocen, en el negocio de la abuela de ella, pero él al darse cuenta o mejor dicho pensar que Bri está casada, se aleja de inmediato. A Bri se le olvida entregarle un producto que compró Wilder y se lo va a dejar a su casa, pero no logra llegar a ella debido a que tiene un accidente y pierde la memoria.

[Maru · Rating 4 out of 5]

La historia de Wilder y Bri me gustó mucho, la cantidad justa de hombre macho alfa, idiotez masculina, y mucho dulce amor instantáneo.
Bri va a vivir con sus abuelos cuando sus padres mueren en un accidente, se siente perdida y sola hasta que conoce Wilder, algo le dice que encontró al amor, que la magia que existe en Bear Mountain es verdad, o no tendrá la misma suerte que sus padres?

[*CJ* · Rating 3 out of 5]

"A Blizzard of Love" is the story of Bri and Wilder.

So this goes from insta love- to amnesia- to fake marriage- to angst- to HEA in the blink of an eye. I wish the beginning where the characters met was explored more so this book could have been rated higher!

I read it in fifteen minutes LOL.

Safe
2.5/5

This was another super fun read by Alexa Riley! This story was quick and spicy and had all of that Alexa Riley goodness that I love to read! I love the books they have set in this world and I can’t wait for more!

[beth’s bookshelf · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is what we've come to expect from Alexa Riley: insta-love/lust, short, sweet, spicy, HEA. AR is for sure a comfort author for me - I don't read them for an amazing plot, I read the books for likeable characters, a few giggles, and a happy ending.

[Contina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really like 3.5 but it's Alexa Riley. You know exactly what you are getting. Over the top, instalove, with tons of spice. This was pretty low key to me. I love the idea of the heroine having amnesia. The rest was a bit disjointed.

[Courtney · Rating 3 out of 5]

A typical Riley romance - OTT alpha male, virgin heroine, I Love You's and marriage/impregnation plans after a day. There's not really anything new here. If you've read a Riley romance before, this is just the same.
