Publisher Description
★★★★★ “5 big stars from me for this amazing story. Absolutely loved it!” (Goodreads)
★★★★★ “Emmanuelle Snow's stories are always full of angst, and Snowbound is no exception.” (Goodreads)
I never thought one night could stay with me for years.
But there was something about him. About the way we met, the way we talked, the way the rest of the world seemed to disappear while a blizzard trapped us in an airport and time forgot to move.
He was Andy. I was Abby. No last names. No promises. Just one perfect night with a stranger who somehow felt more familiar than anyone I’d ever known.
Then morning came, and we let each other go.
I told myself it was the right thing. That some connections are meant to be beautiful because they’re brief. That I could move on and build a life untouched by one impossible almost.
I was wrong.
Because three years later, the one person I never forgot is standing in front of me again—only now he’s not Andy. He’s Anderson. Real. Older. Still impossible to ignore. And no matter how much time has passed, being near him feels exactly the same: effortless, electric, and far too dangerous to dismiss.
But timing has never been on our side. And when the truth of who we’ve become collides with everything we left unfinished, I have to decide whether love deserves a second chance... or whether some almosts are too fragile to survive becoming real.
Snowbound is an emotional second-chance romance about serendipity, timing, and the kind of connection that refuses to stay in the past.
Tropes and themes:
Strangers to lovers, snowed in, reunion romance, missed connection, emotional romance, second chance, serendipitous love story
Customer Reviews
Another spectacular release from Snow - I cannot wait for part 2! A surprising cliffhanger ending!
If you like the idea of a pair of college aged strangers who meet in an airport bar when all flights are grounded overnight due to snow, who make the best of a situation on Christmas Eve Eve by entertaining the crowds with singing and dancing and games, rolling around the airport on wheelie desk chairs, and hiding out in borrowed business class suites (doing you know what), and spans the period of a couple of years after that fateful night, then Abby and Andy’s tale is the perfect holiday read for you.
We get a brilliant story with only a few flashbacks (that’s a story device I don’t normally enjoy but the way it’s used here is done properly), starting where this book ends, and takes us back to where it all began, on a stormy night a couple years ago… taking us through their individual lives over the next couple years until they cross paths again. And what a twist of fate that meeting certainly is! Serendipitous. I’m in complete shock at everything packed into these 350 pages.
This is another beautiful novel that is related to, but not directly in, the Carter Hills Band world - a couple of the characters are mentioned here (a couple of the previous main characters do make very brief appearances). This is a complete standalone from her other books so you can read it without the others, but the background of the rest of the Carter Hills universe will be very helpful.
I’m *desperate* now for the next book in this duet, but Emmanuelle tells me I still have to patiently wait a few more months. I’m going to go crazy with anticipation and coming up with so many ideas in my mind to fill in the blanks for myself because I can’t handle not knowing how it ends! It was just such a cliffhanger! I cannot mention anything more because it will totally spoil the main plot and surprise!! But there are unresolved details I need to have answers for!
I definitely recommend this book SO hard - but if you, like me, can’t deal with cliffhangers, wait until the second half of the duet is available or about to be released!! Emmanuelle Snow is not just one of my favourite authors, but just one of my favourite people. She knows how to write the heck out of an emotional rollercoaster!
I received an early copy from the author and this is my honest feedback.
