Review: Snowed In with My Best Friend by Carrie Ann Ryan


Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author.

Snowed In with My Best Friend is a short story by Carrie Ann Ryan and is part of a multi-authored anthology called Holiday Friend Zones. This review is solely for Ryan's contribution to the anthology, although I am hoping to have time to read the rest of the stories included. As you can tell from the title of the anthology, the theme is friends-to-lovers romances set during the holiday season. Ryan's story is also part of her Montgomery Ink Legacy series, and I do believe it takes place somewhere in between the events of the ninth full-length novel, Last Chance Seduction, which is Lexington Wilder Montgomery and Mercy Caddel's friends-to-lovers story.

Thirty-five-year-old voice actor and narrator Posy and thirty-nine-year-old master plumber Cullen are close friends who spend a lot of time together, but they're certainly not dating, or so they say. He's been slowly falling for her, but he wasn't sure if the feeling was mutual. Would risking their friendship be worth it? Well, maybe getting stuck in a cabin during a nightmare of a snowstorm would make his dream of being with her come true--and would it be a one-time thing or the first of forever? Suffice it to say, Carrie Ann Ryan delivers a quickie read that's got just enough of the sweet and steam to warm readers up. Four stars for Snowed In with My Best Friend.

Release Date: 01 December 2025

Date Read: 22 November 2025

Review: Him by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy (Him #1)

Image
Four years' worth of meaningless sexual encounters flash through my head as I break the kiss and slide down his body again. All those guys I hooked up with in the past...they're a blur. They're faceless. Sometimes they were faceless even when I was with them. I got off, they got off, but I wasn't fully present. I always held something back from them. Not with Jamie. I can't hold back with him, and never could. Holy book hangover. It's confirmed: there's something seriously wrong with me to have waited as long as I did to read this novel, though I'm counting getting it on sale as an absolute bonus. I get it now. I seriously and absolutely get why Him , the first book in the series by the same name from the writing tandem of Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy, has received and continues to receive the stellar reviews and accolades it's gotten since its release in July of last year. I've read many an M/M romance novel and yes, I've read...

For a year, he's been working his way through what locals call the Meecham House, refurbishing it in hopes of making it feel like home. Then he notices the young man acros...

Make the Play (Nashville Rampage #1) by Kaylee Ryan Release Date: June 24, 2025 About Make the Play Corie Knox Beckett is heartbreak in a helmet. He’s also my brother’s best friend, and so far out of my league, he's untouchable. But a few stolen glances turn into a welcome home that blindsides us both. The rules are clear. We just chose not to follow them. Now we’re sneaking around like we’re running a trick play, hooking up behind closed doors, and pretending our actions don’t have the power to blow up our lives. Knox is under my skin and tackling his way into my heart. Ready or not, it's time we make the play. Knox She’s the last girl I’m allowed to want—my best friend’s little sister. She’s all grown up and looking at me in invitation. The second Corie crashes into me, with her tanned, toned skin, in a barely there bikini, I know I’m in trouble. I shouldn’t look. And I sure as hell shouldn’t touch. My hands are already on her waist, one second longer, ...
