Snowed In Fling: A Holiday Novella
It’s New Year’s.
This is supposed to be my day, well week, off – a time to rest, relax and remember my company’s strict no fraternization with clients policy. Because, as each day goes by, my crush Eli Fox, our most valuable client, becomes stronger and harder to ignore.
But I’m up for a coveted promotion and that means my day off has turned into a day with Eli- working. It was all good until a snowstorm left us stranded together, and in a moment of weakness, I finally gave in to the urge to kiss him.
And he kissed me back.
But I got nervous and ran…right into a snowbank.
Stuck and humiliated, there’s only one person to call. And like a knight- in a- shining- SUV, Eli comes to the rescue and I spend New Year’s at his luxury mountain house. And as the clock ticks closer to midnight, the fireworks between us start to ignite. I’m not sure how this is going to turn out, but I do know, this new year is going to start with a bang!
Snowed in Fling is a steamy standalone novella with a guaranteed HEA. Please this story has a brief mention of past parental loss. It is intended for audiences 18 years or older.

Jade (h) and Eli (H) were so cute together with their mutual attraction that they initially fought because Jade is Eli's personal assistant. Eli's a billionaire thanks to working in tech and Jade privately wants to be a writer, but is working towards a promotion at work to help settle herself financially. He's also leaving in a month. Then they get snowed in together after Jade crashes her car and their attraction comes to a head. They agree to pursue what could be between them making a light book with likable characters that gets pretty steamy and has just a touch of angst. As a note, Eli's a dirty talker. Written in first person, dual POV. No ow/om drama and neither are virgins (it had been a long time for the h and the H's history was a bit conflicted - he has a rep of not being with the same woman twice but he also didn't date as much).
These two had known each other for months so much of the initial relationship had been established, but they do open up to each other more during the book. There's a bit of a push/pull before they agree to pursue their feelings, but there are some cute scenes in addition to the steam. Of course there's a conflict that comes about because of Jade working for him, and I didn't love how this played out, but it was fixed quickly. The epilogue is three months down the road and ends with a HFN/HEA and provides a quick update to where they are then. I would have liked to have seen the instigator of the conflict get his comeuppance on page and a bit more of Jade and Eli in a relationship post-conflict rather than being told about it, but still a cute story and a nice debut! This is a debut and I imagine the author will grow from it. I'll definitely check out more of her books in the future.

POV: Dual
Spice: 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️
This is a cute but steamy debut novella with one of my favorite tropes, snowed in/forced proximity! Jade and Eli’s relationship moves fast but feels natural as they had known each other from working together for awhile. I really appreciated that the “villain” in this story got what he deserved and that there was great epilogue to wrap everything up. I’m looking forward to what’s next for this new author!

A delicious little bite of holiday-novella goodness!
"I always thought I knew what love was. And then I met you and realized I had no clue."Eli and Jade's story was a wonderful mix of sweet, funny, and hot.😍😍 I loved how their relationship slipped over onto the right side of wrong. Because there's nothing like ogling your boss in grey sweatpants, lol.

This was really short and sweet with a little bit of spice
Loved both the characters. I loved the chemistry between them. Since the start you notice how much tension they have. She's his secretary so the Forbidden part about the book made it even better. Also really liked how protective of her he was and how he supported her and supported her going after her dream job.
This is the perfect book if u want a boss/secretary wintery novella!! Definitely gonna be reading more from this author.

Flocking to Aspen to get snowed in♥️
I’ve been following this debut author since the beginning of her writing journey, and I was thrilled to pick up her first book—a close proximity, steamy romance.
Jade is the charming and ambitious heroine, who works as a contracted personal assistant for her company’s most elite clientele. Her current client is the notorious Silicon Valley IT guru and handsome, Eli Fox. Jade goes above and beyond in her job, but even she can’t help breaking one of her company’s cardinal rules—don’t fall for a client. An accident in Eli’s kitchen has these two crossing boundaries when Jade caves, kissing her client. Things bump up a notch when Eli kisses Jade back. New Year’s Eve fireworks are a pale comparison to the fireworks that happen on the pages of this book.
But like every good romance, there’s drama when Jade’s boss tries to drive a wedge between client and assistant. Your eyes stay glued to the page to find out what happens next.
The steam level was scorching, the emotional connection was perfect for this fast read, and the HEA wrapped this all together in the perfect little holiday read. The only downfall to this book was it ended too soon when all I wanted was more Jade and Eli.
Fantastic Holiday Read! My rating is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

☃️ NOVELLA REVIEW ☃️
Review: 4/5 ⭐️
Steam: 3/5 🔥
#snowedinfling is a new novella out now by @gmariewrites. This is my first book by this author thanks to @thesmuthood.
Jade and Eli have worked very closely together recently. Eli is a young, wealthy professional trying to change the direction of his life and businesses. Jade has been his personal assistant, being at his beck and call for months, and now she’s about to enjoy her well deserved vacation. But Eli needs her help.. again. A blizzard comes their way and snows them in together.
Being together in such a large space should allow them the relaxation they both need, but they both start to heat with desire. Neither of them can deny their feelings any longer. Jade feels seen and desired while Eli opens up about his past and shares future

When she finishes her job for the say she leaves in the middle of a huge snow storm. She crashes her car not very far from Eli's house. When he rescues her they get snowed into his house and thats when things heat up. What happens when the no fraternize with clients? What happens when the boss Jade works for days she is fired? What happens when the truth comes out?
This novella was so cute! I really loved every minute of it! Eli Fox is EVERYTHING! I really loved the steam and how hot Jade and Eli were together! Just perfect fast read for the holiday season!

This was a cute workplace, forced proximity romance novella!
Jade is excited for a few days off even though she enjoys working for her billionaire client, Eli. But when she gets called into work last minute and then ends up snowed in with her sexy-as-hell boss, the chemistry they share is hard to ignore – especially when he overhears her talking to her friend on the phone about him.
I liked the chemistry between these two, and there’s a great villain to hate too. G. Marie packed a cute plot into a short book and it’s a great holiday romance to escape into.
Tropes:
- workplace romance
- age gap
- billionaire
- forced proximity/snowed in
- third act breakup

As far as novellas go, this hit all the marks for me. A little plot, a little steam, and I finished it in one sitting. Eli is boss dreams. A little grouchy at times, but mostly a dedicated lover and team player. Jade is just trying to get by financially, but is a giver to all. She looks out for everyone and is a kind soul. Her stubbornness and pride however shine through and create sexual tension between Eli and Jade. A short and sweet winter holidays story that I’d recommend to anyone looking for a quick read, a boss Romance story, or when men are dedicated caregivers.
December 28, 2022
4.5 stars! This is a quick and spicy holiday novella that hits just right. We get a fun workplace(ish) romance, with forced proximity and lot of chemistry.
Eli and Jade are definitely in different places. He’s a well established billionaire, grown tired of the direction his life and business are taking him, while Jade is the ambitious executive assistant he hired out to help with his latest charitable foundation and marketing project. She’s gunning for a promotion at work, knowing she deserves it, but also knowing that her boss seems to have it out for her and she has to work extra hard to make sure she does exceptionally well on this current project to get what she already knows she has earned and deserves. Meanwhile, both of them have been secretly lusting after each other, but don’t want to mix business and pleasure. But a snow storm and a car in the ditch later, and they find themselves trapped on the mountain in Eli’s house and very little to keep them from giving in to their cravings.
While we are getting this at the point of their hookup, essentially, they’ve been working closely together for months. So to some degree, they do already know each other, so as those final pieces drop into place, this isn’t necessarily an insta-love as it seems. But the story does a good job of conveying their time together up to this point, and emphasizing that this has been a while in the making. Love their chemistry, and when they finally let loose, it’s quite a sexy ride, to be sure. There is a bit of a miscommunication, very briefly, caused by Jade’s boss, but Eli quickly works to fix that situation. The pieces come together really nicely in the end for their HEA, and even though you think you know where the epilogue with take you, that even holds a little bit of a surprise, which is a nice touch and speaks really well to their relationship.
Overall really enjoyed the story, and definitely would recommend it for a quick, spicy, and satisfying holiday romance!

A quick holiday romance that's the right amount of swoon and spice.
Getting snowed in means Eli finally makes a bigger move on his temporary assistant Jade. I loved seeing both the tension and the way the two of them connected, and there's a good balance of both in this short novella. Eli has some great dirty talk that will make you shiver as much as Jade does, and Jade is a character with integrity that you can believe works hard for the life she's built.
A super cute read to end the year with.

“This snowstorm has been like some kind of late Christmas miracle. Fuck the rules. She doesn’t know it yet, but she’s mine. And I’m going to prove it to her.” Eli Fox 😍
This was such a great, quick holiday read, it had :-
*forced proximity/snowed in
*insta love
*spice
*workplace romance/forbidden love vibes
*so many cute, funny moments!
Eli and Jade were absolutely adorable together even with them both fighting their feelings a little. This is G. Marie’s debut novel and I think it was amazing, can’t wait to read more!

I enjoyed this book. This is my first book by the author. If you like Work place romance, forced proximity and holiday romance then this one’s for you. This is a New Year’s Eve steamy romance. Jade works for Eli. She has been in love with him since she met him. But it’s not ment to be because it’s against her work place rules. She is forced to stay over at Eli’s. Things start to get steamy. She can’t believe that Eli likes her too. Then when things start to get good someone comes along and fu*ks it up. Will Eli be able to get Jade back? Read the book to find out.
December 27, 2022
Okay, so this was a super sweet holiday novella!!! Eli is Jade’s boss, and she’s always been attracted to him, but she’s never made a move. When her car breaks down in the middle of a snow storm, Eli is the only one she can call, and now that they’re stuck in a cabin together, sparks definitely begin to fly. I thought Eli and Jade’s love story was amazing; I loved how well written their chemistry was and the way Eli was willing to fight for a chance with Jade. This was a quick read, but that’s not a bad thing. I definitely recommend!!!

Oh dear. When I realised I had yet to write this review, it took me about a minute to remember if I’d actually finished the book. That about sums up the 💚❤️💚 rating right there…
It was just okay. It’s a “workplace” romance (with most of the story taking place in the MMC’s cabin) and attempts at chemistry and angst are made. The dual POV was choppy and overall, this just needed more words to flesh it out.
There are a handful of good scenes and the epilogue rounded things off nicely, however, it wasn’t memorable for me and not a Christmas/holiday themed novella that I would recommend.

A girl that falls for her boss, literally the first day they met, they go through being snowed in together at Eli's house on a mountain in Aspen, Co. Being snowed in, lets them both unlock a lot of feelings that they have had for each other. You see them have their moments of sweetness and then you get shocked on the next page. I loved this quick read and cant wait to see what i can read next by this author.

I finished Snowed in Fling by @gmariewrites and it was the perfect New Year's novella. A little forbidden romance, boss and employee mixed with a bit of billionaire and some dirty talk with a sprinkle of praise. Umm, yes please! I instantly fell in love with Eli and Jade and their quick romance. G. Marie writes great, relatable and down to earth characters and leaves you wanting more. I will absolutely be looking forward to reading more from this author. This novella is available now digitally and in paperback, so snag it today and get yourself in the New Year's mood!

If you are looking for a steamy, sweet holiday novella to enjoy over your Christmas break this is it. This book was not only filled with the steamy moments you crave but the relationship between Jade and Eli was nothing short of Christmas magic. To start the fight the connection between them, but as the snowstorm hits and a kiss that only leaves them wanting more…Jade and Eli cannot help but give in to their desires that in the end turns into a winter wonderland full of love and happiness.

This was a cute, holiday contemporary novella I thoroughly enjoyed! I loved the characters, their explosive chemistry, the delicious tension, and the fact that their relationship was forbidden. The book was off the charts spicy and I love a good forced proximity romance! My only complaint is that the book was too short!
What to Expect:

💙 Workplace

Thank you to The Smuthood for the ebook!
This book is a quick wintery novella with a whole lot of steam! Y’all know I love a close proximity romance, especially one that’s set in winter during a storm!
Both characters have been harboring feelings for one another in secret, and now they’re finally having a chance to be honest with one another about it. I loved their connection and their mutual respect for one another. Jade is Eli’s assistant, and she’s worked hard to get where she is. Her boss is a jerk, which lends itself well to Eli standing up for her and protecting her.
I loved this one! Definitely recommend if you want a little wintery/holiday read!

2.5 stars, rounded up bc it’s a novella (and debut). This book does need more editing/proofreading, as the mistakes got distracting. The storyline was okay, but I didn’t connect to the characters, and the writing was somehow stilted/choppy? More editing would probably help there too.
January 28, 2023
This was a fun and cute steamy novella! I do love the forced proximity of being snowed in together to get to know someone. And it’s even better when you find out that you both have the same attraction to each other.

Two thumbs way up!
For a snowed-in romance, this was spicy hot! Loved both Eli and Jade, and it had such a great pace. Sometimes the forced proximity trope feels contrived or rushed, but I was allllll thr way here for cookie baking and everything that followed.

DNF. Not the story I was hoping for. Everything moved quickly and was a bit awkward.
