Snowed in at Silver Lake + Giveaway

INDIE!

Getting snowed in with a stranger is dangerous—especially for her heart.

Gracie Turner just broke up with her fiancé before Christmas, so after a severe snowstorm causes her car to skid off the road into the deadly waters of Silver Lake, she can’t help falling for her rugged, handsome rescuer. There’s only one problem. He’s a fugitive running from the law.

Barron Hart has a plan to bring his brother’s killers to justice, and it does not involve Gracie. But when the snowy winds batter the backwoods cabin he’s using as his hideout, he has no choice but to wait out the storm with the Sheriff’s daughter. Against her will. Although, if he’s being honest with himself, she’s the one holding his heart captive.

After their first explosive encounter, nothing will warm Gracie up… or stop the sparks flying between them. There are too many secrets keeping them apart. Barron is further dismayed when Gracie uncovers his tragic past. She has the faith to help him heal, but he’s not ready to give up his revenge. Will the mysteries that brought them together, now have the power to tear them apart?

My Review:

True confession: One of my bookish weaknesses is a heroine in peril rescued by a brooding, gruff hero. And once the cold weather hits, for some inexplicable reason, I crave a stranded in s snowstorm scenario. And, mercy, but does this novel ever deliver! Plus there’s a kinda bad boy vibe going on with our hero which brings an extra thrill.

Loved the tense opening scene, with Gracie trying to navigate her way along treacherous roads. Through a phone conversation with her sheriff father, we learn that not only are the roads practically impassable, but there’s a dangerous fugitive on the loose. Eeeepppp….cue a dramatic drumroll as Gracie’s car slides off the road and….well, then the fun really begins.

Great action scenes, multiple rescues and not only being snowed in for Christmas, but for a couple of weeks! Lots of time for Barron and Gracie to work through their uncertainties, gradually easing their relationship from wary strangers to something much more meaningful.

The author blends in some lovely inspirational themes as well, especially through Barron’s point of view as he struggles to make sense of a troubled past and his deep grief. The redemption of his brokenness brought extra depth to the story.

My first Stephanie Fowers novel, but it won’t be my last. In fact she has a series of ‘snowed in’ books that I have my eye on now. Hoping to get to at least one more before Christmas.

  7. Oh, this sounds really good, and I’m drawn to it for the same reasons you are. I love a snowed in Christmas story with a brooding hero guy.

    Like Cindy I’m going to read it on KU and then explore the rest in the series. I love the cover too!

  8. Just look at that cover! Won’t you LOVE to be snowed in at that cabin? I would for sure! Love when a book grabs you for the very get go like this one sounds to do. The description and your review make this book sound like a winter must read story for me. I, too, haven’t heard of this author’s books. I couldn’t even find her on Facebook other that what appears to be a personal page that is not open to those not friends. Regardless, I’ve added SNOWED IN AT SILVER LAKE to my to be read list.

    Thank you for the chance to win a copy of what sounds like a 5 star read!

    1. Yes, the opening scene is really well done. I took Tracey’s suggestions from a few weeks back and, even though I don’t read ebooks, I checked the kindle sample on Amazon and I was hooked right away. Had to buy the book. Good luck, Kay!

    1. I do too! And, honestly, I even get a thrill when we get our first really bad snowstorm that closes schools and makes the roads impassable for a few days. Mind you, that wonder dissipates quickly when the next storm hits and the next and the…well, too much of a good thing and all that. Good luck, Kimmy!

    1. P.S. By the way, I’ve started reading the Regency Christmas series you featured in yesterday’s post (Secrets in the Snowstorm by Miranda Nelson is one you reviewed). I’m starting with the first book of course 😁
