Snowbound Squeeze

Amazon US / UK / CA / AU / B&N



Gable Judson needs a hideout. A safe place to escape the shambles of his Hollywood life. When college pal James Bracelyn offers a secret cabin an hour from Ponderosa Resort, Gable’s got the car pointed toward Oregon faster than paparazzi pouncing on a nip slip.

Gretchen Laslo needs a retreat. Not just to work on her Ph.D. dissertation, but to flee the messy breakup that left her inner critic shouting “duh, girl.” Meeting sexy, mysterious Gabe the night before she leaves is just another reminder to stay focused on her brain because her heart’s kind of a dumbass.

When a Bracelyn family mix-up collides with the worst storm to hit Central Oregon in years, Gretchen and Gable end up accidental roommates. Roommates without internet or TV or—God forbid—an ice cream maker. With both hiding secrets, they’d rather not reveal, whatever will they do to pass the long winter nights?




My Rating:


Favorite Quotes:


He looks like the product of a cloning experiment between a hot professor and an underwear model…


I nod at the bread machine tucked next to the fridge. “Well, Giancarlo made bread… I name all my household appliances. It makes me feel rich and exotic to say, ‘Giancarlo is home baking bread,’


The Sweary Coloring Book for Adults. “Your family’s Christmas presents beat the hell out of mine”


You’re the one who gets to decide. Holding on to betrayal is like swallowing poison and waiting for the other person to get sick.




My Review:


I adore Tawna Fenske’s irreverent and clever wit and deft comedic style with the same level of fanatical fervor as I do her vibrant, quirky, and highly endearing characters. Her agile storylines are easy to fall into and keep me smirking and fully engaged from beginning to end while also observantly and thoughtfully tapping on relevant real-world issues and concerns. I have reveled in each of the smartly plotted and keenly crafted installments in this series and am already eagerly anticipating the arrival of the next one. I do believe I am irrevocably and zealously addicted.
