What happens when you rescue your young nephew, are wanted for kidnapping, and get snowed in with an ex-cop? This story has a lot of excitement swirled in with a dollop of romance.
Charity has such a good heart and is trying desperately to save her nephew from a past that's like hers and her sister's. Brookes is hiding out to escape a tragic page in his history. It felt a little like Goldie Locks meets a big, bad Grumpy Bear with marshmallow stuffing, but that's what really made the close proximity dial up the excitement.
Fun characters, an intense and snowy situation, and a healthy dose of good family and religious values made this one a cozy winter read.
Content: mild romance; brief mentions of abuse, death; moderate religion

3.5 stars, rounding up
I liked the characters, the bits of suspense. Homemade Christmas.
Content: peril, some violence. Moderate Christian elements. Kissing.

WHAT IT'S ABOUT
Snowed in with an ex-cop for Christmas while she's running from the law. This might not end well.
Charity is not feeling herself these days.
After all...
Is it charity to take off for Christmas break without telling a soul?
Is it charity to suspect her brother-in-law of foul play?
Is it charity to steal his car?
She doesn't care. Charity will give up everything she has built of her life to save her sister's son, even if it means the end of her career as a social worker. Driving to meet someone who can clear her name, she gets stuck in the snow with her nephew and they must face the elements and go by foot.
The only man who can help them is an ex-cop who's turned his back on the world. Will he turn his back on them too? He must work through tragic loss and a horrible miscarriage of justice; she must learn to love again after facing a past of childhood trauma.
Will their feelings for each other heal their hearts before trouble strikes again?
MY TAKE
Another thrilling tale from Fowers. Charity has just risked everything in an attempt to get her nephew out of danger--and, believe me, she knows it's not just the weird message from her twin sister because Charity experiences the danger first hand. The last thing she needs is to land as the unwelcome guest/prisoner of an ex-cop who believes all the horrible things her brother-in-law has had the police put out about her.
Brookes is a bitter and angry man who's suffered a terrible loss at the hands of someone he was pretty much helpless to stop. But he's not going to let another kid get hurt. But Charity confuses him. She doesn't come across at all like the charges being put against her. Thus begins a back-and-forth relationship beginning that filled with trust and doubt.
It's insta-love, but it also has plot twists and a wonderful redemption story. 4 1/2 stars

This was a really good book set during Christmas. That played such a significant part in the story. I could not put the book down because there was mystery, suspense, surprises, and sweet moments to keep me turning the pages. The story about Brookes and his past pulled me in immediately and so did the opening of the book which set up Charity's story. I liked that the romantic suspense kept my heart pounding from the first page until the end.
I enjoyed how Charity and her name held significance many times during the story. That was quite clever. I liked how Charity and Brookes both turned to their faith to get through their past and to help them when life or their emotions got the better of them. I thoroughly enjoyed the epilogue and I am very excited that there will be another book in the future. I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.

I had a hard time getting the sleep I needed over the past few days as I read this wonderful book. I have read other books by this author but I think this is my favorite. Her stories are clean and wholesome and this one has a little grit.
Charity was trying to find her sister and save her nephew from a horrible man; his father. She ran straight into a blizzard and a snowbank and eventually into the arms of Brookes. I really liked how the relationship between Charity and Brookes developed. And, the way that Brookes was able to move toward forgiveness and healing over time. There were some tense moments in the book when the bad guys got close to destroying their hard-fought happiness. But, there is a happy ending for almost everyone involved.

Snowed in at Silver Forest
Wow! I could not put this book down. The action starts at the first page and the book just keeps getting better after. Charity had a cryptic note from her sister to please protect her nephew as he is in trouble. Needless to say, Charity is on the run with her nephew during a snowstorm. She makes a wrong turn and ends up snowed in at the home of an ex-cop. Has she just sealed her fate? This book deals with abuse, loss of loved ones, and forgiveness; yet, the young child gives it the right amount of humor as well.

Don’t miss this romantic suspense novel!
I really loved this book, it’s nonstop action right from the beginning! The romantic suspense keeps you guessing about what will happen with Brookes and Charity as well as the situation they find themselves in. It’s also a beautiful story about Christmas with themes of love, trust, hope, forgiveness and more. The book was hard to put down and might lead to sleepless nights while you figure out how it’s all going to end!

The perfect storm. I read this story over Christmas weekend, during a huge, 3-day storm. It was the perfect time to read it. I really enjoyed this Christian sweet suspenseful romance and I recommend it. Definitely ideal to read at Christmastime in front of a crackling fire with some hot chocolate and marshmallows with some quiet music playing in the background. Enjoy!

Fantastic!
I love me a good Stephanie Fowers book to read for Christmas, and Snowed in at Silver Forest didn't disappoint! The plot was engaging and I was turning pages just as fast as I could to find out what happened next as Charity tried to keep her nephew safe. Brookes really was a big softie Grumpy Bear with a heart of gold. Get ready for the tissues on this one!

loved the beginning and epilogue…
But the middle didn’t work for me. 3 1/2 stars.
I love he concept, and the characters were unique. The opening 1/3 of the book was great. However, things seemed jerky and disjointed once the romance ramped up. It seemed more like the characters were puppets rather than individuals. I nearly gave up, but did end up finishing the book.

This is a very well written Christian suspense/action/mystery/romance book. It was written at Christmas, so it was the perfect read for this time of year. I was drawn in from the first chapter.
I received a free ARC, and this is my honest opinion.

Charity is on the run with her nephew and gets snowed in the Brooks. They have more in common than they realize. Watching these two connect as danger grows closer kept me reading and on the edge of my seat. Loved how they both turned to the Lord to gain strength, understanding, and forgiveness. A few twists and turns.
