About this ebook

Snowbound by fate and guided by faith, can two strangers find comfort, courage, and perhaps a Christmas miracle that neither saw coming?

When Nora Patterson rear-ends Reverend Rock Peters’ SUV on a snowy mountain road, her Christmas Eve takes an unexpected turn—from lonely to life-changing. Stranded together in an old cabin while a blizzard rages outside, Nora discovers the handsome minister is kind, steady, and far too easy to talk to. She’s spent the year missing her mother and praying for someone to share Christmas with—never imagining that the answer to her prayers might come that night.

Rockford Peters made peace long ago with spending his holidays alone, serving others while quietly yearning for someone to come home to. Then Nora literally crashes into his life, bringing warmth and laughter into a heart he thought had stopped hoping.

But when the snow clears, will love stay—or melt away with the morning light?

A heartwarming, faith-filled holiday romance from the Falls Mountain Romance series.

This is such a sweet short story, love where you least expect it. Nora having lost her mother the holidays are hard for her. When Nora runs into Rock he does everything that he can to save her. I am glad that the Reverend has his own story, I enjoy him in the previous books. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Not This Christmas by Maddie James is a short and sweet close‑proximity holiday romance. When Reverend Peters finds himself snowed in with Nora, neither of them expected love to come knocking at the door. Yet, as the story unfolds, it beautifully reminds us that love often arrives when we least expect it. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a cozy, heartwarming Christmas read.

The holidays always bring an unexpected twist to a story. Like the characters and the small town setting. A romance is not always easy but it is worth it if you love that person. I'm into people are thrown together unexpectedly makes for interesting reading. Good read. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
