About this eBook

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 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.

Ratings and reviews

I loved Nate and Bethany’s love story in Seduced by Snowfall by Jennifer Bernard, book three in her Lost Harbor, Alaska series. Firefighter Nate Purdhoe is the fun guy and tends to be there for anyone who needs assistance. That includes rescuing Dr. Bethany Morrison, new to Lost Harbor, taking her to dinner, and being her fake boyfriend when she needs one. Bethany is used to be the responsible one and doesn’t take Nate seriously. When Nate discovers a mysterious injured runaway hiding out in the firehouse and needs her help, Bethany is there. As fall turns into winter and these two spend more time together their fake relationship starts to feel more real. Nate swore that he would never love another person but Bethany has gotten under his skin and into his heart. Bethany finds that Nate’s laid-back fun matched her seriousness, encouraging her that it was okay to have fun. Getting caught up in a snowstorm is the impetus they need to see that it’s okay to let down the walls and go after the love they each need. Ms. Bernard wrote an amazing, sexy and magical story that is not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sexual chemistry, amusing banter, and endearing characters giving Nate and Bethany a chance at opening their heart to a forever love. I highly recommend Seduced by Snowfall to other readers and can’t wait for the next story in this series. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Dr. Bethany Morrison was always the smart, serious sister, and a people pleaser to a fault. New to Misty Bay Hospital, Bethany tries to catch the eye of a world renown neurologist. Bethany believes if she dates and eventually marries someone wealthy and successful, then her father would be proud of her—finally! But life doesn’t always work out as planned. Bethany requires the help of local firefighter Nate Prudhoe. A moose scared her and she is naked and locked out of her house. Nate’s interest is sparked, but he knows he’s not the man for Bethany. Nate Prudhoe, firefighter and town playboy, doesn’t believe in happily ever after. Through no fault of his own, he’s experienced love and loss. He’s placed walls around his heart so that he doesn’t have to ever experience that kind of pain again. Until Bethany...Nate finds a runaway who’s injured and he needs assistance in caring for her. The more time he spends with the good doctor, the more he starts to care. He doesn’t like that she’s pining away for the neurologist, but isn’t sure he’s what she needs. Loved, loved, loved this novel from the first page to the last. It was humorous, angsty, and suspenseful. I enjoyed Nate and Bethany working together to help the runaway, even putting their jobs on the line. When Nate took Bethany’s dad “golfing”, I about died. Hilarious! Bethany’s struggle to win her dad’s approval was so realistic. Everyone wants their parents to be happy and approve of their decisions. It’s equally sad to realize that sometimes, that’s never going to happen. Nate was supportive and loving to Bethany. I also enjoyed his interactions with her sister. I loved that Bethany was able to help Nate work through his grief. Awesome story! One of my favorites in the series. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

A steamy, funny and wonderful addition to the Lost Harbor series by Jennifer Bernard. I had hoped we could get to hear Nate's story and he met his match with Dr. Bethany. I could relate so much to both characters, Bethany who is always trying to please her family and Nate who holds on to some deep grief. The humor, the passion and the wonderful imagery of Alaska, make this the perfect story to curl up in your favorite reading spot and devour in an afternoon (like I did). Each story can be read as a standalone, but do yourself a favor and read them all. Read everything Bernard issues, you won't be sorry.
