A sweetly adorable holiday novella. Jenshak brought all the nostalgia of a family Christmas and mixed it up with college students escaping for a few days during their winter break. This is perfect to pick up and read during an afternoon sitting by the fire with a hot cup of cocoa.
For Holly the holidays mean tradition; baking cookies, singing carols, putting up a tree, spending time with family, etc...However, this year her parents are on vacation right up until the actual holiday so it's just her and her siblings and they've decided to spend time at the family cabin until it's time to head home. While Holly still wants to do all of the same traditions at the cabin, when she arrives with her twin sister, Stella, she did not expect her brother to be there with most of the football team, especially with Teddy her crush. This changes things, just a bit...but some changes make the magical holiday just a bit sweeter, especially when they get snowed in.
Teddy and Holly are super sweet together. Snowed in with the Player is loving and full of holiday cheer, it's like reading a Hallmark movie. The story is told completely from Holly's POV and it's a quick read that is filled with all the sugar cookie warmth and hot cocoa deliciousness. There's also a bit of a sneaky peek into Stella's love story and I can't wait to see how that is going to play out in the next novella.

snowed in with the player
I have a bad habit of diving into books blind. This being said, Snowed in with the Player isn’t exactly what I thought it was going to be.
What I thought it was: a holiday/winter themed book about a girl being snowed in with either a hockey player or I actually thought he would be a literal player

Just so so.
I’ve loved all the previous books I’ve read by Rebecca Jenshak, but this one didn’t meet up to the standards I expect. Maybe because it’s a novella, so there is less time for character development. I didn’t feel like Teddy was as interested in Holly as she was in him. It also seemed a bit immature at times. Yes, she’s only a freshman in college, but I still expected more. I guess I’m not sure what it all was, I just know that this was a miss for me.

Cute , quick holiday novella about Holly and Ted ! Holly has had a crush on Ted forever . Her and her twin sister decide they are going to stay the weekend at the cabin and when their brother shows up with friends from the football team / Teddy ends up being one of them . What happens when they get snowed in together ?
