Will getting snowed in with a Norse goddess lead to love?Skadi loves nothing more than living a quiet life on her mountain, doing all the things a normal goddess of the hunt and snow would do. Until her peace is interrupted.
Erik never planned on getting trapped on a mountain, but when he gets stuck on his way back to his hometown, he finds himself seeking shelter with the most enchanting woman he’s ever met.
With the storm worsening, and no way off the mountain, the two of them are trapped in Skadi’s cabin until it clears.

My Review
I received a free copy from the author through Booksprout and voluntarily reviewed it.
I was in the mood for a comforting read that I knew I would enjoy when I picked this one up. While I didn’t enjoy it as much as some of the previous stories, I still had fun reading this one. It was a fun romantic story about musician Eric who meets snow goddess Skadi and they get snowed in together.
I liked Eric and Skadi together. I thought their romance did develop quite quickly which made it harder for me to fully get invested in their romance. I liked the glimpses we got of both their personalities and lives. There are some fun mentions of mythology about Skadi which was interesting as I hardly know anything about mythology. I also liked how Eric’s love for music was obvious. And it was a fun how they didn’t immediately realize who the other is when they first meet.
The snowed in together trope isn’t my favorite, but it made for a good opportunity for them to get to know each other better. Especially as Skadi is quite opposed to the idea of romance at first. There is some steam later in the book. I liked how it is low on drama and how their romance got resolved.
To summarize: I enjoy this series and these are easy and fun romantic reads. While I didn’t enjoy this one as much as some of the earlier stories, I still had fun reading it. Eric and Skadi were interesting characters and I liked reading about them. They get snowed in together and grow closer, not my favorite trope and the romance did develop a bit quickly for my taste. There are some mentions of mythology that were interesting.
I don’t mind if a romance starts with the close proximity trope and there were no sudden I Love Yous in a couple of days, but its hard for me to buy in when it does. Fun mythology, for sure!
It was just a bit hard to fully buy into the romance with how quick it progressed. Like you I don’t mind the close proximity trope, but prefer they have more time either before that or after that to have the feelings deepen a bit.
I like snowed in together tropes and the paranormal elements sound good to me.

The snowed in trope can be kinda hit or miss for me, but if you like that trope I can definitely recommend this one.
