Snowed In with the Boss

by Matilda Martel

He's a reformed bad boy with a long-term plan to win the girl he loves. She's a clueless good girl trying to forget a momentary lapse of reason. When a blizzard traps them together, will a big romantic gesture be enough to heat things up?

Levi Chamberlain never thought he’d settle down. Handsome and rich, he’s traveled the world and lived exactly as he wanted. When his father passes, he takes one last nostalgic trip down memory lane to a mountain resort his father loved. While there, he meets Phoebe Love--- a quirky girl who wants a wild fling to shake up her sensible life.
After one hot, memorable night, they part ways. Phoebe returns to New York, and Levi secretly follows--- waiting for his second chance to win Phoebe’s heart.
Phoebe Love doesn’t think she’s built for relationships. Her wealthy parents tried to convince her she was only fit to be a lady of leisure, but she tried her best to prove them wrong. She can’t let a temporary slip-up or a momentary indiscretion with a gorgeous stranger stop her from reaching her goals.
It’s best to put it all behind her--- except he won’t go away.
In a city of eight million, Levi Chamberlain finds a way to be around every corner.
He moves nearby. Frequents the same coffee shop. Shows up to the same bars. Then tricks her into accepting a new position, a once-in-a-lifetime job, days before he’s officially named CEO.
She should walk away. But it’s the best job, with the best title and salary she’s ever had. If she can only resist the hot man down the hall a little longer, everything will work out.
But mother nature throws a wrench in her plans.
A polar vortex blows in and shuts the Northeast down. Alone in another city, Phoebe’s cold, hungry, and scared out of her wits. Until the boss she loves to hate shows up and saves the day.
Will he win her heart?

About the author

Matilda is a Texas girl in love with a Philly boy who loves to write dirty books about two people who trip into love and fumble their way into a Filthy, Funny, Happily Ever After.

I live in Austin, with my husband, two crazy Chihuahuas and an even crazier cat. And I spend most of my day writing dirty romance books about older men who fall in love with younger women and make fools of themselves trying to win their hearts.

If you love Dark Romance, you’ve come to the wrong place. I don’t like dark heroes.

I like my hero to be successful, sweet, suave, sophisticated and kind--- and then I want him to lose all his composure and game when he meets the heroine. I want him to turn into a bumbling idiot when he spots the girl of his dreams and revert to a teenage boy in a man’s body trying to win her.

I like my heroines to be witty, intelligent, and unshakeable---who could do just as well without a man—until the hero convinces her otherwise.

I write A LOT OF AGE GAP--because I LOVE AGE GAP ROMANCE. I’ve got no other excuse for it.

No matter what kind of story it is, my ladies are ADORED, and my endings are always Happily EVER AFTER, not HFN.

It’s been a quick minute since I’ve read author. She’s had too many books with non-virgin heroines lately that I’ve either skipped or DNFed, so I’ve ignored any new releases and haven’t put her books on a priority read. But I’m glad I took a chance on this one! It was cute and fun and sweet with an OTT obsessed hero who stalks the heroine. Be still my swooning heart! . My only complaint is that their first time together was skipped. But other than that, it was a good read.

Safe. Hero’s past is briefly mentioned that he was a manwhore. Heroine is a virgin, although it’s told not shown, and she belongs only to her hero. No ow/om, no cheating or sharing or abuse. HEA with epilogue

Stalker!

I struggled to like either Levi or Phoebe, he crosses into stalker territory and she is flakey and will give you whiplash with her ever changing no, yes, no, maybe.
I am glad that she finally stops running but he remains a creepy stalker!
Whilst I don't like or relate to the characters the book is still well written and funny.
I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

HIIIII SIRRRRRRR.

Look -- the hero is so over the top and if it was real life I would be filing a report. But I find him endearing. I like an obsessive man who will do anything to win the girl. I mean is it a little controlling? Yeah. But I would love to find a man who is obsessed with me AND finds me a job and offers me financial security. SIGN ME UP!.

I smiled through almost the entire book😁😍

I believe this is a first read by this Author for me. It will not be the last. I read this through KU and I am buying me a copy. Honestly the only drawbacks for me were I would have loved more smexy times, though that is just me since I love well written multiple smexy times😜 and I would have liked to read where his brother and the MMC and FMC all interacted at the end or something like that, kinda see how the business is going.
Like I previously said I smiled through almost the entire book especially when we are in Levi’s head. I loved his stalker character. He was a hoot, lol, and rooted for him from the very beginning. I honestly wasn’t sure I was going to like her initially for not wanting to be with him, but when I was able to get in her head I completely understood. It was understandable and he really put his foot in his mouth in the beginning and had to work it’s way out, lol.
If you don’t like stalker books, though this one wasn’t dark, you probably won’t like this one. She knew he was there, he made himself known😜. Though he still had hidden cameras🥸. I hope we get a book about his brother. I would totally read it. I am going to check more out from this Author right after I submit this review.

Matilda Martel's contribution to the Flirt Club's The Snowed In Series is Snowed in With the Boss. A fun, instalove romance, Levi and Phoebe meet while both vacationing solo at the Mountain Ridge Resort. Despite the promise of a no-strings-attached fling, Levi knows Phoebe is meant to be his and tries to make things more permanent before their departure. When Phoebe refuses, Levi follows her to New York, intent on winning her over. She's convinced he's just in it for the chase; he's not afraid to use less-than-legal methods to keep tabs on her. Will the former bad boy billionaire be able to win over the one woman who's ever managed to capture his heart? An entertaining, over-the-top steamy age-gap instalove.

This book is a part of the Snowed In series and focuses on Levi and Phoebe. Levi and Phoebe meet while on vacation and agree to have one night of no strings attached fun. Levi knows immediately that he has found his forever but he has to work hard to get Phoebe on board with his plan for forever. It takes Levi a few months of watching over and slowly wearing down his woman before she finally gives in and lets him know that she has felt the same way about Levi since the beginning but that she was scared to be hurt. I love that Levi was 100% all in and committed. He didn’t let anything stand in his way of getting their HEA. This was a great story and a great addition to the series.

This book starts right away with the spice! Levi and Phoebe meet during a summer vacation and what was supposed to be a fling became so much more. I liked playboy Levi vexing thrown into stalker behavior because of how quickly he fell for her. She’s worried about not being enough and pushes him away to avoid a broken heart. I enjoyed Levi’s pursuit of her and his attempts to tone things down that never quite work out. The portion of the book that has them snowed in is not a large potion but I did enjoy how everything developed and played out so that didn’t bother me too much. Overall a fun and spicy romance that was really enjoyable to read.

Is there anything better than watching a reformed playboy grovel for the woman he loves??!!! The answer is a resounding no!

Levi Chamberlain is brought to his knees when he meets good girl, Phoebe. The lovely young woman is his and unfortunately for him not screaming for joy over that fact. But in reality she too, has lost her heart for the sexy lady’s man but afraid he will break it. What happens next is gold - Levi becomes obsessed with winning her over and his tactics are both over the top and hilarious. All is fair in love and war and eventually, Levi wins her over.

I’m giving this holiday novella the judy.ann.loves.books stamp of approval, TBR and Enjoy!

Levi (H) and Phoebe (h) meet one another at a mountain resort and share what’s to be a one night fling. Phoebe wants to get back to the city and her normal life, not the carefree woman she presented herself as to Levi. Levi realizes that Phoebe is the one and really has his work convincing Phoebe that he wants her to be his forever. He sets out to stalk her, even secretly becoming her boss, as he tries to convince her they’re meant to be. And when she finds herself in need of protection and care. He's right there for her. Lovely holiday stalker age gap romance with a side of heat.

Phoebe and Levi meet while on vacation and have one steamy night together. Phoebe just wanted a quick fling but Levi fell for Phoebe instantly and wants so much more. After they go their separate ways she never thought she would see him again but when Levi started turning up everywhere she was things start taking some interesting turns. Snowed in With the Boss is a great addition to the multi-author Snowed In series. The writing is well done and the characters are likable and perfect for each other. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

[Rhonda · Rating 4 out of 5]

A cute story that I enjoyed. Levi and Phoebe meet while on vacation and agree to have a one night fling. Only it turns out that Levi has fallen hard and fast but Phoebe is running scared. Not of Levi but of the whole "love" thing. I liked that he watched over her for a couple of months and that once he was with her, that was it for him. No other woman will do. His past is eluded too but we don't really get a lot of details and I'm find with that. This was a short read but the emotions and feelings are all there for the reader.

[Michele McMullen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Get ready for Levi and Phoebe and their short sexy addition to the Snowed In series. Levi is quite the playboy and Phoebe is a sweet, sexy. stubborn woman that is not looking for a commitment! It was just supposed to be one night until the playboy decides he wants so much more. What happens when two people share a night but each with different expectations of how this will play out. They are certainly not on the same relationship page here!! Now it is time to watch as this man goes after what he wants while he uses every trick up his sleeve to get it!

One ight was all it was meant to be between Phoebe and Levi, only Levi becomes obsessed, he follows her back tp new York, and implements himself in her life, without her knowing till she finds him as her new boss! But will a freak snow storm be the opportunity Levi needs to make Phoebe's his. Well written steamy festive stalker romance.

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. Levi and Phoebe meet and there are a lot of sparks. One agreement, which seems perfect at the time, comes back to bite him. He's on a merry chase for a bit while Phoebe is trying to focus on more. I thought that the characters were good together. Levi is ott and determined but so is she in her own way. Overall a good story with highs and lows

[Aliama · Rating 4 out of 5]

A cute quick read. Even though Levi was a bit over the top with his ‘stalking’ of Phoebe, he knew that he loved her and was willing to do anything to get her to see she loved him too. They had a connection from the time they met on vacation through the four and a half months Phoebe tried to let Levi go. Phoebe wanted to prove her worth on her own and not because of her family or who she loved. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Vacation fling with some twists at home

Snowed in with the Boss by Matilda Martel is part of the multi-author Snowed In series. This story is a sweet, quirky, fun, boisterous, and very charming romance. It is well written, as I always find with Matilda's books, has great characters that make you laugh, hum, and fall in love with, and a lovely story-line that hits all the right notes. I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it.

[Mandi Blandford · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked the general idea of this, a fling leads to office romance with an older guy.
I really liked Phobe and her responses to situations that popped up seemed reasonable overall.
Unfortunately, the way the situation was handled isn't one of the tropes I'm into.

Triggers:
Stalking




I received this as an ARC- my opinions are my own

However, Levi falls in love and pursues Phoebe until he convinces her to give him a chance. Phoebe does love him but thinks he believes that she is a different type of person until he proves he knows how she really is and that he loves her.

Levi & Phoebe had an entertaining read. Levi Chamberlain never thought he’d settle down. Handsome and rich, he’s traveled the world and lived exactly as he wanted. He takes one last nostalgic trip down memory lane to a mountain resort his father loved. While there, he meets Phoebe Love... And am voluntarily leaving my review.

[Chani · Rating 2 out of 5]

Levi was alright, Phoebe not so much.

I can't handle a hot cold character.

I read romance because I love love and want to enjoy the characters as partners & lovers throughout the story.

They should BE the story, the drama and suspense should be about other things not the lovers.

Call me what you want. This is where I stand firm.

Over and out.

[Lizette Diaz · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely love the newest book in the Snowed In series. Matilda always gives us the greatest characters and stories. I love how Phoebe and Levi find that perfect ending, even though they fought it all the way. I'm such a huge fan of every book this author writes.

[CJ · Rating 5 out of 5]

The author has given us a wonderful story that pulls us into the lives of Levi and Phoebe and does not let go. The story keeps us turning the pages with steam, denial, light stalking and determination.

Levi is a hoot! He completely loses his mind over Phoebe. He cannot fathom letting her go, no matter how hard she tries to keep him at arms length. Fortunately, he proves his devotion and illustrates to her just how far he will go to be her everything. A very fun and amusing read!

[Lara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love

Levi is stunned when the love of his life leaves and denies their connection. When he hatches a plan to get her close where he can wear her down, will it work? Will she realize how good they are together?

[Kari Ganske · Rating 2 out of 5]

Is stalking and tricking someone into working with you and having someone followed and using hidden cameras sexy and romantic? Because not to me. I took my no-thank-you bite from this trope and will be moving on.

[Nicole Scarborough · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was hooked immediately. Phoebe fights her love while Levi doesn't. She is so good at pretending. I haven't read the others of this series but I want to

Sorry, but there is nothing romantic about a man who stalks the woman he "loves". Nope.
Story drug on.

Loved it.

[Sassy Angel · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this story by Matilda Martel. I couldn't put it down. I loved how Levi wouldn't give up on Phoebe. He knows that they could be so much more. Phoebe only wanted one night that turned into two. She thought that was all that Levi wanted. She didn't think that he would want the real her. She is in for a surprise though. Levi knows who she is and wants forever with her. Will she ever believe that he really wants him?
