“That’s one good thing about bad days,” I say, as her face falls. “They always end.”
Megan živi u Dublinu i užasava se povratka kući za blagdane jer je tamo poznata kao odbjegla nevjesta koja je slomila srce mjesnog zlatnog momka Isaaca.
Christianu je pak dosta tužnih pogleda obitelji svaki put kad se pojavi sam. Kada se njih dvoje slučajno sretnu u pubu, Christian predloži rješenje: neka se ove blagdane pojave kao par…
Priča je ispričana iz dvije perspektive, što mi je povremeno zadavalo male probleme. U trenucima slabije koncentracije znala sam pobrkati čiju priču trenutno čitam, ali to je možda više do mene, nego knjige.
Međutim Christian i Megan odmah su me osvojili. Preslatki su, a kemija među njima je apsolutno savršena. Christian je sve ono na što padam u knjigama: zgodan, bogat frajer koji je ostavio nestašnu prošlost iza sebe i spreman je za ozbiljan život.
Koliko me posljednja knjiga koju sam čitala prije ove rastužila, toliko me ova razveselila i ugrijala. Slatka je, romantična i duhovita. Baš ono što mi i odgovara trenutno. Očito sam u nekoj romantičnoj fazi.
Ako volite trope od prijatelja do ljubavnika, lažne veze, duhovite dijaloge, ne previše nepotrebnog kompliciranja i savršenu blagdansku atmosferu onda će vam Snježna romansa ispuniti sve želje.

Snowed In – Catherine Walsh
“Just go for it. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. Whatever. You move on. You cut your hair short and buy a bunch of books you’re never going to read. C’est la vie.”
Megan lives in Dublin and dreads returning home for the holidays because she is known there as a runaway bride who broke the heart of the local golden boy Isaac.
Christian, on the other hand, is fed up with the sad looks from his family every time he shows up alone. When the two of them accidentally meet in a pub, Christian suggests a solution: let them show up as a couple this holiday season…
The story is told from two POVs, which was occasionally a bit confusing. A couple of times I was confused about whose story I was reading at the moment, but maybe that is more on me than the book.
However, Christian and Megan won me over immediately. They are adorable, and the chemistry between them is absolutely perfect. Christian is everything I fall for in books: a handsome, rich guy who has left his naughty past behind and is ready for a serious life.
As much as the last book I read before this one made me sad, this one made me happy and warm inside. It is sweet, romantic and funny. Exactly what I’m looking for right now. I’m obviously in some kind of a romantic phase.
If you like friends-to-lovers, fake dating, witty dialogues, not too much unnecessary complication, and a perfect holiday atmosphere, then Snowed In will fulfill all your desires.
