Snowed In is the companion novel to Holiday Romance following Christian (brother of Andrew from the first book) and Megan who knew each other growing up. They agree to fake date each other in order to make it through the holidays without getting pestered by their families by their single romantic status. A funny and heartfelt romance, that has depth. (Also this is a bit spicier than its predecessor!)

In the sequel to Holiday Romance, Megan is a former runaway bride returning home for the first time since the incident, and Christian is tired of being the only single one at his family Christmas. But when they hatch a fake dating plot to help one another, it might just lead to real feelings.
I loved this so much! I wanted to read it after reading the first book in the series, Holiday Romance, last week and I’m sooooo glad I fit it in before Christmas this year. Christian was an absolutely perfect book boyfriend, and I loved Megan so much as well. I’m also a sucker for fake dating, so the premise here was absolutely delightful.
Returning to the world of a book you enjoyed is also fun, and I loved seeing Molly and Andrew’s relationship develop here even as Christian and Megan took center stage. This one is also dual POV, which I thought added so much to the story and reading experience. And finally, we all know how I feel about a book with no third act breakup?!?!?! Impeccable, truly.
Read this one if you want an adorable holiday book!

Catherine Walsh is a new favorite romcom author! Her books are romantic, never cringey, and have impeccable comedic timing. The Fitzpatrick family feels like a non-magical, Irish version of the Weasley family and you feel instantly welcomed into their cozy Christmas celebrations. I’m a sucker for a fake dating trope, and loved Christian and Megan’s characters from the start. I also liked the fact that familiar characters from the first book were still featured in the sequel. This book is the perfect holiday read and I hope there is a third installment in the works!

What a lovely, cosy festive read! The kind of book you want to read wrapped in a blanket with a mug of hot chocolate.
This had just the right amount of humour, swoony moments, and family togetherness. I loved Megan and Christian; they're so caring and protective of each other, even before they get together. I loved how they consistently had each other's backs and I adored their slow, soft romance.
The only part I wasn't keen on wasthe reconciliation with Sophie, but that's just because I am a petty, grudge-holding bitch lol.

Christian and Megan are both dreading going home for Christmas. Megan hasn't been home in years, not since the whole run away bride scandal. Christian hates the attention he gets as the only single one in his family. So, they strike a deal. Pretend to be in a relationship to help each other through Christmastime.
Another super cute Christmas romance from Catherine Walsh. I really loved Christian in Molly and Andrew's book, so I was excited to read his story. I enjoyed the banter and chemistry between these two characters. ALSO, I appreciated that this book was from both of their POVs!
I enjoyed all of the side characters that we got to revisit in this book, along with some fun new ones. I liked that Molly and Andrew's story continued within this book, but didn't overpower the main plot line.
The only thing I didn't like was that their feelings develop very fast.Over the matter of weeks they are confessing their love.
Yes, this series is pretty predictable and trope filled. BUT of all the Christmas romances I have read, this series is definitely better than most.
Tropes: fake dating, forced proximity
