Let it Snow is a short sweet look at what can happen when people are forced into one of my favorite romance trope: “but there’s only one bed” and the resultant friends-to-lovers scenario that blooms.

Amy is a twenty-something Texas transplant by way of Connecticut who loves Christmas and is a big fan of snow. Her best friend Josh is leaving Texas and heading back home for a job opportunity that he just *can’t* pass up. Being that Amy’s job doesn’t pay her well (at all. She has like 4 roommates), Josh suggests that she drive with him across the country to surprise her family for the holidays; no objections, even bought her a plane ticket for a return flight back to Texas after the holidays. What a nice friend.
A good portion of the story takes place in transition: Amy and Josh are driving 10+ hours from Texas to Connecticut so there isn’t much else to do except get them there. Until the blizzard hits, things are pretty much coasting: we’re in Amy’s POV the entire story and she is very much into Josh, but afraid to say something because it could ruin the friendship.
Neither of our characters checked the weather before starting their drive and so they are caught off guard when the flurries of snow suddenly gain some momentum and a blizzard is announced over the radio. The two hunker down in the first motel they can find (which is a very nice one, surprisingly) for the next couple of days to wait out the storm. “This” leads to “that” and “that” leads to (honestly) one of the sweetest NC17 scenes I’ve ever read.
After arriving home and talking things out, the two decide to give their romance and try and would you believe it, it works!
Overall, I thought Let it Snow was a cute story. It’s only about 200 pages so the characters aren’t super developed and the plot line is fairly simple, but I enjoyed it! Snow was a welcome palate cleanser and I’ll definitely be going back to this novella again when I want something short and sweet.
