One magical Christmas Eve…

Caught in a blizzard, Georgia Beckett is forced down a narrow lane she'd hoped to avoid…and not just because of the snow! The road takes her past the beautiful abandoned house of her youth—the new residence of her childhood sweetheart.

Sebastian Corder's shocked to hear the doorbell ring—he never expected to see Georgia again. Nine years ago, both chasing different dreams, they went their separate ways.

Now Sebastian's hand hesitates. Is he ready to open the door to the past? But the snow's getting heavier…and there's only one way to find out!


Snowed in with the Billionaire Reviews

    This actually a very Hallmark theme story. So sweet and cute. I am surprise to find a very low number of rating for this book. I do love the connection between Sebastian and Georgiana. They are sweet together.

    There is no descriptive sex and yet it still warm and tingle inside. After reading many DNF, i am glad I found this book. Its like a break from a bad books.

    Nice reunion romance. Georgia and her toddler son get stuck in the snow right in front of Sebastian's home. It's the same house that she and Sebastian used to hang out in when they were high school sweethearts. Georgia isn't sure that she wants to face him, but the heavy snow gives her no choice. Sebastian feels the same way but can't leave them out in the snow. Neither has been able to forget their time together or their parting. Both need to put the past behind them in order to get through the next few days with their hearts intact.

    Georgia had moved on with her life, marrying another man and having a son. She's widowed and headed home to her parents for Christmas during a terrible snowstorm. When she takes a shortcut and gets stuck in a snowbank she has to face her past and ask Sebastian for help. Their initial meeting is hard as both remember things that were said as they parted ways. I liked the fact that they tried to put the past aside so that they could give her little boy a good Christmas. Georgia discovered that she was still attracted to him, but also that he hadn't seemed to change much. Her biggest complaint had been that he didn't talk to her about any of his feelings and he is still pretty closed off. Their attraction still popped up at inconvenient times. Georgia also found that seeing him again brought her old feelings forward and she was afraid of getting involved with him. I liked the way she was finally able to explain to him what had driven her away. Now that she's older she's able to see that it wasn't all his fault, but she doesn't see anything changing between them. I loved her reaction when he came to see her and finally told her what had caused him to change so much.

    Sebastian and Georgia had so many dreams that they wanted to make come true together. The abandoned house was at the center of them and when Georgia showed up during that storm it really knocked him off kilter. He had never understood why she had left him and still is angry about it. Seeing her again brings back the old memories, but he tries to bury them for the sake of her son. I loved the way that he took to Josh and had so much fun with him. It brought home to him just how much he was missing in his life. There were many times that he was able to forget their problems and just enjoy being with them. He fought the feelings that were growing in him because he couldn't see Georgia taking him on as he was, but was still unable to talk to her about his past. I loved the way that it was his coworker who pointed out to him what his trouble was and encouraged him to go after Georgia. It took a lot of courage for him to finally tell her about his fears and what had been driving him all this time. I loved the ending and the surprise that Georgia had for him.

    Listen, I have no idea what to rate this because I don't know the genre and it would be unfair for me to judge a very gentle, British romance against all the horror and murder I read.

    We read this as a joke for a book club because none of us are romance enthusiasts, but you know what? We had fun. And I'll tell you, if you ARE a person who wants the fluffiest, most palatable, G-rated story about a woman and her child who get snowed in with her billionaire high school boyfriend, this is for you!

    I will say, the ending was more my style when you find out the billionaire was abandoned as a child when his mother DIED IN A WOMEN'S DEPARTMENT BATHROOM AND HE STAYED OVERNIGHT WITH HER DEAD BODY!

    But all 200 pages before that are "should I kiss him or no." Also, there were like 3 pages of hard science in the middle when Georgia describes her job (as a biogeneticist).

    Anyway, I suspect that this is probably one of the better romance novels! But I'll need to read more to find out.

    Good story. It's another reunion story-- I'm reading several in a bundle and the first two are both reunions, one in Australia and this one in England. In this, there's an old mansion where the hero and heroine first got together, and this is where the widowed heroine gets stranded with her little boy over Christmas many years later. Neither one of them really recovered from the breakup and there's lots of angst and strain and attraction and all that. Believable and well done. Though I did have a bit of trouble with the hero getting so twisted out of shape over his secret. But everyone is different, so... I liked it a lot.

  • Ann Keller

    Good story about the power and endurance of true love. These two people really deserved to be together. A host of misunderstandings stood in their way, but with a little Christmas spirit, perhaps they can put all of that behind them. Lovely story for that special time of year.

    A tender, touching and captivating tale of second chances, unexpected twists of fate and love lost and found, Snowed In with The Billionaire is another winner from Caroline Anderson’s talented pen!

    Georgia Beckett and Sebastian Corder had been inseparable as children and when friendship had given way to first love, the young lovers had thought that they were going to be spending the rest of their lives together – until shocking secrets of the past had torn them suddenly and cruelly apart. Determined to start afresh and to heal from the wounds that had almost destroyed her, Georgia had vowed to make a life for herself and she had met, married and had a child with a man whom she’d been fond of, but whom she’d never loved with the same intensity as Sebastian. Now widowed, Georgia is determined to give her two year old son Josh the best Christmas ever. Having had the holiday all planned out for ages, Georgia is looking forward to a quiet Christmas with her family – until a snow storm compels her to seek shelter and spend the festive season with the one man she never thought she’d clap eyes on ever again: Sebastian!

    Nobody was more surprised than Sebastian when he found his first – and only – love on his doorstep! The last few years had been fraught for the workaholic billionaire, but despite all the changes and upheaval in his life, he has never quite managed to forget about Georgia! Forced to spend Christmas with the woman he has never stopped loving, Sebastian finds all those long-buried feelings which he had tried so hard to vanquish from his heart resurface with a vengeance, as he finds himself wishing that Georgia was his wife and Josh his son! But having decided long ago to keep his heart firmly under lock and key, is Sebastian ready to take a chance on love for a second time? Or will this unexpected chance at happiness lose him the woman he loves with all his heart once more?

    Georgia’s resolve to keep things strictly platonic between herself and Sebastian began to crumble from the very first moment she knocked on his door. She still is as madly in love with Sebastian as she was when she was a love struck teenager, but will she be able to prove to him that happiness is within his grasp if only he is willing to knock down the defenses which he has built around himself?

    Will a Christmas miracle bring the two of them together again? Or has too much water flown under the bridge for Georgia and Sebastian to ever have any chance of a future?

    Caroline Anderson’s heart-warming contemporary romances never disappoint and Snowed In With The Billionaire is a fabulous example of her impressive storytelling prowess. With her gift for enchanting and enthralling her readers, in Snowed In With a Billionaire, she makes her readers feel every single powerful emotion her characters are going through as well as making them laugh and cry alongside them.

    Another charming category romance for Christmas (Harlequin Romance). My first book by this author - I'm definitely going to check for her backlist, loved her writing. Heroine and young son are caught in a blizzard and take shelter with an old flame. Could have been a tricky situation but the author did a wonderful job.
