Four Seasons Park #4
Just Say Snow to the Ex-Fiancé
I'm an expert on love...and I'm boycotting it for good.
I, Corie McMullen, am a Manhattan reporter with a big dream—to make an author appearance on Wake Up, America. Soon the entire country will see me as a relationships expert. Even my love of elaborate weddings can’t deter me from boycotting romance for my dream. Been there, done that. (Well, except for the actual wedding part.) I've found something far better.
But when my cousin drags me to a Colorado ski resort for Christmas Singles Week, I run into the last guy I ever wanted to see again—my ex-fiancé. The one who dumped me over a text to marry his ex-girlfriend four years ago. Worse, he’s newly divorced, more mature, and even more attractive than before. . . and he wants to pick up where we left off.
Not happening. I'm not that Corie anymore.
Except a series of unfortunate accidents and a blizzard throw us together in a mountain cave over Christmas Eve, and I'm forced to confront emotions that contradict everything I wrote in my book. Can I learn from the broken relationships of my past and find the courage to try one more time?
A Christmas romantic comedy with laugh-out-loud moments and all the feels.
Four couples. Four seasons. One park to match them all.
(This is a full-length novel with some content previously published as Love Right: A Sweet Romance Novella.)

2.5 stars, no spice (though the hussy shows a scandalous amount of ankle in her red dress)
I've read worse.
FMC, unlucky at love over the holidays since the incident, leaves NYC for a singles retreat in Colorado at the begging behest of her cousin/roommate where she meets the owner of the resort, her ex-fiance. Four years prior, ol' boy dumped her by text hours after pledging eternal love because of an ex-girlfriend. It's ye olde my-ex-came-back-with-my-kid-who-actually-isn't-my-kid trope that creates long-term issues (with regret, bitterness, and a 3rd act break-up for razzle-dazzle) set over Christmas reinforcing the FMC's inferiority and abandonment issues.
There's foolishness everywhere: a gaslighting cousin (ew), trying to connect with someone who gives you the ick (ick), running competition against an ex on the treadmills (gross), running into the woods when a blizzard begins (stupid), and the A Christmas Carol-esque supernatural vibes stemming from a bracelet from a mysterious old man (weird). To be honest, the book could have been saved if it was more A Muppet Christmas Carol and less A Christmas of Visual Disturbances with Butterflies. People would really rather hallucinate and/or freeze to death than go to therapy. End rant.
Anyway...
I mean, if cutesy angst of late-20-somethings is your thing and you like a book set over the holidays, then bless. You're gonna love this one. Personally I need the spices of suspense and unaliving and the story was set up PERFECT for a locked-room murder mystery plot. Alas, it's just a run-of-the-mill romcom.

Rating: 1.5/5
Got this book as a freebie on Stuff your Kindle day.
This book didn't do it for me. It seemed promising at first, but it let me down. I'll just mention stuff I didn't like, because it seems I can't really string my thoughts into coherent paragraphs.
- There's plenty of angst and a lot of back-and-forth regarding "why did you leave me?"
- The characters seemed to have the emotional intelligence of teenagers and a lot of shit could've been avoided if people just stopped running away in anger in the middle of conversations.
- The book is narrated in Corie's point of view and boy, does she love monologues... There's a lot of these, some are basically info dumps, when the author seems to want to give us an overview of Corie's past and current life, her family/friends/workplace dynamic, everything in the span of the first couple chapters. Some of the things get lost among the fillers and, in the end, they all felt redundant.
- At times the dialogue between the characters felt redundant. It brought nothing valuable to the story because it added little in terms of characterization, the information wasn't really relevant, and I kept muttering to myself get to he point.
- There was no real chemistry between the leads, at least none that I could see. In the end I couldn't really wrap my head around the reason why they'd get back together because, other than him being good looking and them having a history, there was nothing pointing towards Corie and Micah being compatible.
- And I couldn't buy they reason for breaking up
Overall, the plot is a bit weird and some things felt forced. There was some random insert of magic, I think, that didn't really fit (in my opinion) and the romantic aspect of the story was missing (calling this story tepid is a generosity). It's like a Hallmark Christmas movie with leads that got no chemistry and stilted dialogue.

Corie wrote a best selling book about finding love. A big morning talk show wants her to come on air to talk about her book. The catch, they want her to be IN a relationship and bring her boyfriend on air with her. This is a problem since Corie currently lives alone in NY with her guinea pig 🤣 Her cousin, Liza, suggests that they go to Colorado ski resort for a Christmas singles week to meet someone to accompany her. Unfortunately while at the retreat, she runs into Micah, her ex fiancé from 4 years prior, and he’s pretty much the last person she wants to see.
I really enjoyed this one! It was cute, funny, and so sweet! I loved the new twist on “A Christmas Carol” with Corie seeing glimpses of her past, present, and future. The Christmas ✨magic ✨was so fun to read. I also loved the second chance romance trope and how sweet Micah was with his daughter 🥰 Micah and Corie had such great chemistry and I enjoyed watching find their way back together. Looking forward to more in this series by Sasha Hart!

I'm sorry but the story wasn't getting me at all... I felt like the story was just repeating everything over and over... And it got to the point where I couldn't stand the protagonist anymore. It's not even something regarding the second chance (it was well-made actually) but I found in almost every chapter the same "why did you leave me" dispute between the two main characters, until I found them way too whiny about everything and just couldn't get into reading into it again.
Maybe I'm being a bit mean with the book but it's just what I think, I'm sorry 😔 (obv this opinion doesn't want to be offensive towards people who loved and enjoyed this book or to the author in any way! )

Disappointed in this one. I read another book of hers that I really liked but this one was a big let down for me. I didn’t like the ex at all for all the reasons she stated. He was a complete jerk. The twist at the end almost redeemed him but his actions and lack of learning from previous experiences and refusal to communicate did not redeem him in my opinion. He didn’t deserve her. She deserved better and she should never have taken him back. I didn’t connect with the characters and I thought he was completely self-centred. I just felt the whole story didn’t really jive. It left me feeling out of sorts. I would pass on this one.

I enjoyed the storyline of this book, I don't think I've ever read any of Sasha's work before. One of my favorite Christmas activities is wandering light displays with my husband - that scene in this book gave me all the joy & magic of Christmas lights with your love! I wish Micah would've told Corrie the full truth earlier in the book. This may have allowed for further relationship development later in the book. I would love to see a short sequel of how their little family celebrates next Christmas.

If you enjoy Christmas romance and snow filled scene. This is the book for you. Dumped by her fiancé four years earlier by a text message she accidentally runs into him this Christmas season. Undeniable chemistry coupled with heart wrenching flash backs this FMC has trouble with reconciling the current Micah with the past Micah. Will she choose love or her career? Guess you’ll have to read to find out!

I enjoyed this book. It moved along nicely and had good banter back and forth between the characters. It seemed a bit unrealistic to me that Corie and Micha would pick right back up where they left off 4 years ago, twice in one weekend. It seemed far fetched but it was cute none the less. It was a cute holiday rom com and was a quick read!

I got this one a freebie on kindle, and although it was a quick read, I am glad that I did not spend any money on it. Having been the 4th in a series, I do think that it's a fine one to read as a standalone as I do feel like you get enough of the back story to not be confused at all!
Corie, the FMC, seriously annoyed me. Her "best selling" book being about relationships, when she wasn't, and in fact is still bitter about a broken proposal just annoyed me and then her juvenile behavior? Ugh! She goes off on monologues, and just comes across incredibly whiny and self-center.
Micah, the MMC, isn't much better - he's secretive, confusing, and just so focused on having her back that he really just comes about it in all the wrong ways. Add in to the fact that there's no real chemistry between them and then the rush of an ending... and it just falls flat.
I liked the activities side of the book - the setting, the Christmas activities, but that was about it!

Cute but a few mistyped words
I really thought it was cute. The story line was unique and not something you read every day. There were a few times when she was referring to Micah and used the wrong word references.

torn between 3 and 4 stars, but there were some things I didn't like. I can't say without spoiling. The 3rd act breakup made me want to punch a wall, so 3 stars

Second chance story
This is a good second chance story, although I wanted to smack the FMC. It makes a good, quick holiday read.

Content: Clean
I guess 3 Stars. I was thinking it was better than the others until the snow storm and moose thing. It just started seeming a bit too far fetched. I'll be generous with the Stars.
