Snowfall

Miranda doesn't normally submit to letting life happen to her-so she's going to chase after what she wants. And she wants Cyrus. Smart, sexy, and not afraid to change her life's course, Miranda is a stunning self-made 24-year-old who left Las Vegas for a career outside of Boston, Massachusetts. However, she didn't plan on reliving the thirst of the Nevada desert when she met her neighbor, the rugged, assertive, but caring Cyrus McManus. She only knows that she needs him to quench that thirst... Miranda's not looking for love-so submitting herself to a no strings attached arrangement with the dominate New Englander is fine with her... until she wants his strings. After almost a decade, widower Cyrus McManus continues to struggle with the emotional aftermath of his wife's death. Focusing his life as the father of teenage twins, he is content with the occasional fleeting one-night stand. The bearded author has closed himself off from the hope of romance forever-or so he thinks. Will he be the proper father figure who takes Miranda in hand or will he give her a new meaning of daddy issues? Their lives become hopelessly entangled and what starts as a steamy physical agreement quickly becomes more. But they might have bigger issues than a relationship struggle as skeletons come out of both closets wanting to dance with their demons... Snowfall is an enthralling and vivid slow burn romance novel that artfully blends steamy scenes and erotic passion with deep reflections through the series where communication matters, consent is sexy, but sometimes with love you have might have to deal with trauma and grief. When the stunning and driven 24-year-old Miranda Snow leaves behind the nightlife of Las Vegas to pursue her dream of teaching and coaching on the outside of Boston, she never imagined she'd find love there. Rugged, caring, but stern, Cyrus McManus has sealed himself off from love to pour his energy into caring for his teenage children. Despite him nearly being double her age, Miranda sees something in Cyrus that she's never encountered before-and she becomes determined to give him a second shot at love by submitting to him. The initial spark of their relationship soon spirals into a wild and passionate love affair... but if Miranda wants to break down Cyrus's walls, she'll need to fight to convince him to commit his heart to a woman again. Perfect for fans of sexy and suspenseful romance novels with a wintery theme, a sprinkle of comedy, a dash of steamy scenes, and some piping hot emotion you'll enjoy taking a sip from. Snowfall is a fun and memorable love story that explores themes of domination, submission, communication, and the allowing yourself to surrender just for the chance of love again.

Review :
This is an intense book, a story that's as dark and edgy as a cold winter night, but it's also one with all the heat and passion of a cozy fireplace, albeit it one that's burning too hot, and threatening to overwhelm you. What makes it all work so very well is the dynamic between Cyrus, the Daddy Dom, and Miranda, the bratty young woman who is so determined to transform a holiday cuffing into a full-on relationship. There's a fantastic will they/won't they tease to the opening chapters, an escalation of flirting and denial where Miranda drops all the hints, double entendres, and sexual innuendo she can possibly slip into a conversation, while Cyrus struggles to remain deliberately obtuse to her interest. It's amusing the lengths to which Miranda goes to make her point, the ridiculous stunts she pulls to get his attention, but when she finally gets it . . . hot damn, Cyrus turns the tables fast and hard, showing her exactly the kind of rough, possessive, aggressive sex she's in for - and she instantly craves more! All of that - the sex, the romance, and the family dramas - slowly come together into a story that grows deeper and more significant as it progresses. Wolf makes us feel for these characters, and the better we get to know them, the more we worry about their future together. Now, I realize that sounds like a lot of darkness and drama - and it is - but it's balanced with romance, genuine human feelings, and generous doses of humor. -- Sally Bend, www.sallybend.com Snowfall is an epic saga, a tale that spans the emotions and the sexual gamete from sweet and comforting to hardcore raunchy. The storyline is so fully rounded that we get the full flavor of life for these intricately complicated, and therefore realistic, characters. I fell in love with all of the characters pretty early on in the book. Miranda desires a Daddy Dom and she recognizes these traits in Cyrus even if he doesn't fully acknowledge them at the time. She's on the prowl to seduce him and his oblivious nature intertwined with his natural commanding, caring, nurturing, and warm caretaking personality is quite intoxicating, because he also frequently shares a camouflaged wild edge with us, when we are lucky enough to be gifted it. Miranda is a delight, so exuberant and full of life, one cannot help but fall in love with her, even as we find out how variedly naughty she really is, but it all only adds to her charm. I love the way Benson E. Wolf grows the characters throughout the story with scenes that carry a lot of depth and some that are delightfully playful. The family dynamics, both within Cyrus's immediate family and his extended family, display a delicious tale in and of itself, so interweave the slow burn smoldering romance between Cyrus and Miranda into that and you get a very entertaining and glorious tale that will keep you wanting to read until the end. - Ruan Willow, Oh F*ck Yeah Podcast
