Well, if it is a romance novel, chances are, they’ll fall in love. Because you know that’s one of the only steadfast rules in romance. Fall in love, happily ever after or at the very least a happy for now. No matter what led to them being in said secluded spot originally. And I can get the premise of that. When you’re in a secluded location, you run into the risk of losing power. This means that you might have to resort to using body heat to stay warm. Because hypothermia is not sexy. If you have to use body heat, well…I mean the possibilities are endless there, right? Sure, if there’s a fireplace, that works too. But where is the fun in that? Another thing I like about these types of romances is it kind of forces communication between the two parties. Often the power is out, which means that you can’t really use electronics, since you want to conserve power. It also means more time for snuggling in front of the fire, begrudgingly or not, which can lead to conversation and open the doors to clearing up any misunderstandings between the two parties. And, even if the power stays on, one would get still bored quickly. This would lead to talking with the other person to hear something other than the sound of silence. As an added bonus, snowed-in romances tend to be paired up with another romance trope. Sure, many could argue that they are a standalone trope. But there is always a hint of something thrown in there. It could be enemies to lovers, instant attraction, grumpy and sunshine, etc. And I’m a gal who, provided it does it well, does not mind multiple tropes in my romance. So, you’re getting more tropes for your time with this. Whatever your reason for enjoying these types of books, now is the perfect season for them. Below are some that you want to snuggle up under a warm blanket with on a weekend marathon reading session. As a bonus pick, I’m also including Talia Hibbert’s Wrapped Up In You. This is a bonus pick since it is exclusive to Kobo. However, the app is free to download if you want to give it a try. And there you have it; a nice round-up of snowed in romances bound to delight. Did I miss some of your favorites? Either way, let me know over on social media. Maybe I’ll end up adding some to my own TBR pile. Stay warm!
