Seasons in Montana – Winter
January Nilsson
I’ve lived a life and half, I’ll tell you that. And I’ve felt enough loss for many lifetimes. After losing the two most important men in my life, my heart is closed off for good. I’ve finally come back home and only just got my family back. My brother and I have made amends, and we are working together to save the family business. I need to stay focused. But when I meet the new delivery guy my three-year-old daughter has taken a liking to, I start to think twice about everything. He’s got a similar story to me but I don’t want to relive my trauma and his. Can I let him in?
Drake Ford
A chance encounter with a gorgeous woman has me reeling. And when I find out a bit more about her, I realize it can be so much more than just one night. Our lives run parallel and I’d love to bring them together. But she’s closed off and tries to keep me at a distance. Our attraction can’t be stopped, though and everyone around us is cheering us on. Can I get her to give me a chance?
TW: contains adult themes including grief, and loss.
My Review
Carolina Jax delivers a heartfelt and beautifully crafted story in Wrapped in Winter, blending emotional depth with just the right touch of spice. This small-town romance is a perfectly paced journey of love, healing, and second chances that will warm your heart even on the chilliest winter day.
The plot is wonderfully balanced, pulling me in from the first page and keeping me captivated throughout. I loved how the story didn’t shy away from real emotions and struggles while still providing that warm, feel-good experience we all crave. January and Drake’s chemistry is palpable, and their journey to finding each other is both touching and genuine.
One of the standout elements for me was the full cast of characters. The family dynamic in this story was beautifully portrayed, making me feel like I was part of their close-knit world. The family-run business added a layer of charm, and the snowy Montana town of Wintervale was so vividly described that I felt like I was right there with them, sipping hot cocoa by the fire. The relationship between Drake and January’s three-year-old daughter, Lily, was an absolute delight. Watching Lily form her own bond with Drake while the adults navigate their complicated feelings was heartwarming and added so much depth to the story.
I laughed, I cried (happy tears!), and I finished the book with a huge smile on my face. It’s a perfect happily-ever-after that leaves you eager to explore the rest of the series and meet more of the Nilsson family. If you’re looking for a cozy, steamy contemporary romance with a strong found-family theme, Wrapped in Winter is the book for you. Carolina Jax has crafted a gem that’s sure to become a favorite. I wish I could pack my bags and move to Wintervale—it’s just that magical!
Highly recommended for fans of small-town romance, single mom tropes, and stories that leave your heart full.

Hailing from a tiny town in New York, Carolina spends her free time with her military husband, their three sons and new daughter-in-law (welcome to this crazy family!) and her chocolate lab, Lincoln.
