Dr. Bethany Morrison is used to being the responsible one. The serious doctor everyone relies on. She isn’t used to needing a rescue–especially from a sexy, lighthearted firefighter like Nate Prudhoe. And yet ever since she moved to Lost Harbor, Alaska, he’s been there for her. Is it any wonder she turns to him in her most embarrassing moment—when she needs a fake boyfriend? Nate’s more than … more than aware that Bethany doesn’t take him seriously. And that’s fine; relationships, a family of his own…those things aren’t for him. Not when he knows how painful the loss of a loved one can be. But when he discovers a mysterious injured runaway hiding out in the firehouse, it’s his turn to ask the lovely doctor for help.
As winter closes in, the line between fake and forever keeps disappearing. How could Nate know that every moment spent with Bethany would chip away at the shield around his heart? How could Bethany guess that Nate’s brand of laid-back fun was exactly what she needed? It may take more than a snowstorm to make them see it’s okay to want it all…and to grab it before it disappears forever.

Nate and Bethany are the perfect cold weather read. We have seen the silly side of Nate over the last few books so it was fun to see him face his fears. Bethany is finally coming into her own and Nate helps her be her perfect self. Add in a troubled girl and this book is hard to put down.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this novel.
This series is getting better and better with each book.
I am loving this new series by Jennifer more then I thought I would. The way she writes about the characters and the town of Lost Harbor makes you wish you could go there in person. This is Nate Prudhoe and Dr. Bethany Morrison story. At first I wasn’t sure how I felt about Bethany. At times I wanted to slap her silly with how she felt that another man was perfect for her, but then the way that her and Nate got together made me like her more and more. I loved how she found a backbone and started standing up for herself. And Nate, what’s not to like about that man. He is sweet, funny, charming and an all around good guy. Any girl would love to have his attention. This was a great story and I loved all the secondary characters we got to see in this book and I really hope they all get to have their own stories too.
This series just keeps getting better. Seduced by Snowfall is the steamy read about Dr. Bethany Morrison and firefighter Nate Prudhoe. Bethany goes on a date with Nate, after Nicola Bellini set them up. She really wants to date Dr. Ian Finnegan, the visiting neurosurgeon. This book grabbed my attention from the first page and I didn’t want it to end. I don’t want to leave any spoilers, but I will say, this isn’t just a romance book, it is so much more. It tells about loss, not measuring up, and the bonds between siblings. We also have some suspense, which will keep you flipping the pages. The funny scenes will have you laughing out loud. A good example is the first time Nate meets Bethany, lol. Grab your copy and get ready to fall in love with these characters, just like I have.
I received an advanced reader copy of this book and this is my voluntary and honest review.
Another hit by one of my favorite authors. It is a somewhat light hearted read with some intrigue, some humor and heart. Great story, relateable characters, some angst filled moments, a dab of mystery, a little steam and, of course, an HEA.
I received an ARC from the author. This is my unbiased review.
I adore the town of Lost Harbor! Nate is now one of my favorite people living there, I’m totally smitten! He’s witty, adorable, and so proud of where he grew up, I want to keep him in my pocket and carry with him with me because he makes me smile. Seduced By Snowfall is fun, steamy and so full of charm, you’ll love it!!
I snickered through this entire book. Nate and Bethany are an adorable match. While Nate was born and raised in Lost Harbor, Bethany just moved to Alaska. They seem like polar opposites with her perfectionist personality and his laid back charm, but where he has edges she has curves and they fit together perfectly.
Bethany moved as far away as possible from her perfectionist expectectation father, but she never stops trying to please him and makes up a fictional boyfriend. That plan backfires when her father lands in Alaska and thankfully Nate, the easy-going Nate, steps up and helps her out.
Nate is the guy in town that everyone goes to for help. Yes, he’s an EMT/firefighter, but his personality is hard not to like. That is until he meets Bethany. She is the first woman he strikes out with, but if she wants to friendzone him he supposes he’ll have to live with it, until he becomes her fake boyfriend.
If you haven’t begun this series, you can pick it up at anytime. Seduced By Snowfall is a great addition to the series, but can be read as a complete standalone too.
Bethany & Nate are a perfect couple! Bethany is the proper doctor looking for the “perfect” guy. Nate is the sexy EMT/firefighter joking his way out of anything to serious. They bring out the best in each other! Add in the beautiful Alaska wilderness wonderfully described by the author, a wild girl hiding in the firehouse & a town full of friends & you have the best plot. The story pulls you in from the beginning & your heart gets pulled in with S. G.’s troubles. I really hope that as this series continues, we learn more about her story. List Harbor is turning into another terrific series. Each story can be read as a stand alone but they all build on another with the same characters showing up.
Loved this story. Has a bit of everything you want in a book you can sink into. Humor, heart, family, friends, intrigue and some heat. All of that along with great writing makes for a book you won’t want to put down. Can’t wait for more from the quirky town of Lost Harbor. I received a free copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is shaping up to be a series I wish would never end. There’s just something about this small Alaskan town with its rustic charm, quirky characters and wildlife sightings that has me returning to Lost Harbor every chance I get. Not to cast aspersions on the other books in the series, but this is the best book yet.
Nate Prudhoe is a Lost Harbor lifer and part of the very fabric of Lost Harbor. Always ready to lend a hand, it’s people like this volunteer firefighter who make this community a family. Charming, laid back and easy going, Nate hides a bundle of grief and regret beneath that façade.
Bethany Morrison, the new doctor at Misty Bay Regional Hospital, is smart and accomplished, but a part of her is still trying to measure up to her judgmental father’s unrealistic expectations. She thinks that dating the hospital’s neurologist might win her father’s respect, but fate has a different plan. Whether it’s the close proximity due to their complementary careers and life in a small town, or a person in need uniting them, it doesn’t take long before the idea of dating anyone else isn’t even a consideration.
It’s time to get cozy and comfortable and prepare for Nate and Bethany to steal your heart. Their snarky, smexy banter and teasing will make you laugh out loud, and their painful pasts will make you want to wrap them in your arms as they work towards healing. Their story is beguiling, poignant and sentimental, and the perfect thing to warm your heart on a cold winter evening.
4 1/2 snowy stars!! I really enjoyed this book so much! Nate and Bethany may not appear to be the best match for each other at first but it isn’t long before it all comes in to view and you can totally see them making a life together in Lost Harbor. Fake relationships are always so fun because you just know they won’t stay that way forever not when there is clearly chemistry between the couple. I pretty much wanted to smack Bethany upside the head at first because she couldn’t see past Ian. I honestly love Nate and Bethany despite any imperfections/faults we see because that is what makes them so relatable and lovable. I love their interactions and how they work together for S.G.’s sake. Bethany’s sister Gretel is a great character too. I love this series both for the wonderfully complex characters Jenny Bernard gives us but also for the stunning location that her detailed description allows you to feel like you are experiencing first hand. Another fantastic book in this series!
Seduced by (more than) Snowfall
I was enthralled from beginning to end. As with all Ms Bernard’s books, once opened, I weave my “Do-not-disturb-until-further-notice Cloak” around me. With her characteristic descriptive style, she does not skimp on detail. She seduces her readers, from page one to The End, transporting them to Alaska.
Quote: “She stared out at the drifts of snow… —everywhere outside, … And the wind—it kept shaking the truck, which was one of those big work trucks that looked invulnerable. It whipped the snow into mini-tornados that danced in the road like wraiths. And yet through it all, Nate stayed unfazed.”
This from Bethany. The Nerdy Medical doctor, who always follows the rules and describes herself as “underconfident and slightly anxious”.
And Nate? The accomplished EMT. And Joker. The always-up-for-a-good-time-guy. A mask to hide his sadness? And of course, drool-worthy. No wonder Bethany loses her cool with him, falls hook line and sinker and turns into a Femme Fatale! Or is it a “Hot Tamale”…
There is as much heartache as there is healing in this book. Most endearing is Girl, included in Nate and Bethany’s “us”, unknowingly helping to cement the relationship. From casual sparking chemistry to much more.
Highly recommended.
