A Snowed in Heart by CJ Hackland

lighthearted medium-paced

4.0

This is a sweet, easy read. The small town setting is so cute and there are some lovable side characters (as well as some not so lovable). It's also closed door. I loved the first book in this series and it was great getting to see more of Madison & Jack.

I adored both Benedict & Amber and they make such a cute couple. The snowed in shelter was the perfect cosy setting and I loved learning more about them both. It was a bit Insta love but the third act added some drama. Amber's house and her cooking both sounded incredible. The ending was so heartwarming. 

I'm hoping we'll get a Ruby book as well because she's such a fun character.

Another great addition to the Morgan Brookes series. Highly recommend if you love a police procedural with a lovable team. There are so many incredible characters. I adore Cain and his protectiveness of his friends.

As always there are plenty of twists and turns to keep you hooked. The tension gets amped up with an attack on one of my favourite characters. I was so stressed for everyone involved. It was nice to see Morgan being a bit more sensible although she definitely needs a holiday.

This is a fun rom com read that gave me the cute romance whilst also making me laugh. I loved both Lucie & Aiden and their banter was entertaining. Lucie's daughter was a great addition to the story and she cracked me up. There are also so many fun supporting characters. I want to be friends with Maya's Dads. The whole family melted my heart. 

The slow burn felt a bit too slow in some places but I did enjoy the gradual move from strangers to friends to lovers. It made it feel very real.
