I thoroughly enjoyed Snowed In. It had great chemistry between Megan and Christian, excellent banter, well developed relationships and I loved the sibling banter/relationships too.
I smiled throughout and have already downloaded another book by the author..

This was a cute holiday read with fake dating and forced proximity tropes. I didn’t find myself very invested in the mcs, but there were some funny little quips and cute romantic lines that I really enjoyed. Megan’s character journey was nice to watch unfold as she arrived back at home and dealt with the effects of her leaving five years before. This book was overall enjoyable. I think I could have just used more in the relationship development.

If you're looking to get into the holiday spirit with some giggles, fake dating & forced proximity, then you should read Snowed In by Catherine Walsh.
Megan is dreading going home for the holidays. She hasn't returned to her small Ireland village in five years after leaving her golden boy fiance at the altar—"ruining" his life and her reputation. Before she heads home, she bumps into a childhood acquaintance at a pub who is also dreading going home for the holidays (he has daddy issues). To help solve each other's problems and avoid awkward holiday conversations, they agree to fake date and be each other's dates to their families' festivities.
What to expect:
❄️ Holiday rom com
❄️ 1st person, dual POV
❄️ Runaway bride
❄️ Fake dating
❄️ Forced proximity
❄️ Friends to lovers
❄️ Small town romance (in Ireland)
While this book is part of the Fitzpatrick Christmas series, a series of interconnected standalones, I did not read the first book and had no problem following this storyline (book 1 focuses on a different sibling/couple). I'll likely go back and read the first book, since I really liked this one!
I easily read this book in one sitting because it is fast-paced and too dang cute. The character chemistry was believable and relatable, and I ate up their banter (even if there were some borderline cringy moments).
This is my first book I've read by Catherine Walsh, and I'll be checking out more of her work.
This book is available on Kindle Unlimited for my fellow subscribers.

Megan is known in her home town as the "runaway bride" having ditched her childhood sweetheart at the altar to find her feet (and herself!) in Dublin. She is planning to go home again, after 5 years, for Christmas, but is dreading the talk and ire of the townsfolk. When she bumps into Christian, a former classmate, in a bar they hatch a crazy plan - to pretend to be in a relationship to get the gossips and their families off their backs.
This was a fun, cosy seasonal romance. Full of self deprecating humour, Irish charm and romance trapped in a secluded cabin. Told from the POV of both Megan and Christian in seamless switches (no rehashing the same even from a different viewpoint), the book also explores familial relationships, the traps of small towns and teenage romances , and the darker side of why Megan left her ex.
I really enjoyed this. It's a book very much about being true to one's self, and at the same time a fun, escapist, rom-com style seasonal romance. We have the guys squabbling over a girl, we have the posh family v the wholesome down-to-earth one, we have the "omg she's gorgeous" reveal, we have the slowburn romance. Everything was just spot on romcom perfect.
