Snowfall
Who knew snow could be so hot?
All summer long, campground manager and wilderness guide Ashley Turner dreams of the snowfall that will bring her the peace and quiet she craves. This year, though, her Cascade Mountain solitude has been threatened by too many close encounters with the local wildlife.
A huge, unusually aggressive cougar is stalking the area near her cabin, and something has to be done before someone gets hurt. But share her secluded retreat with a wildlife biologist? Though he’s the perfect picture of Native American hunkiness, that’s where she draws the line.
When Dr. Jake Eagle Feather shows up on her doorstep, he’s prepared to call her shotgun-waving bluff. Until he can study and stop the cougar’s strange behavior, she and everyone else in these snowbound mountains are in danger.
As if on cue, the cougar attacks, forcing Ashley to reluctantly give in to the inevitable. Close quarters intensify the pull of attraction between them. Even as their resistance melts in a whirlwind of sweet, hot desire, a predator is waiting out the storm for the next chance to stalk its prey…

About the author
Lainey Reese
16 books993 followersLainey- born in Tacoma, Washington- was raised mostly in Nevada and California. The youngest of five, Lainey dreamed of being an actress and starring in blockbuster movies she wrote herself. As she grew, the dreams of being on the big screen faded but the ones of writing those fantastic stories never did. At 17 Lainey read her first romance novel and knew she’d found her calling. Here were the stories like the ones in her own heart and mind, and like tumblers falling into position on a combination lock, everything just clicked into place and the world was open to her.
It took a long time before she could work up the courage and belief in herself to try but finally, in 2010 Lainey held her breath and took the leap. Her first novel A Table For Three debuted in February and she hasn’t looked back since. Nor has she given up hope that one day, she will be sitting in a theater and it will be one of her stories on the big screen…
Along with her husband and two dogs, Lainey lives in Marysville, Washington and they have a daughter going to college in Bellingham. Look for Lainey’s edge of your seat adventure The Pod coming later in 2019.

This review posted at Guilty Pleasures
I have mixed feelings about SNOWFALL and because of my feelings I am going to list what I feel are the pros and cons of this book instead of a traditional review.
Pros:
Ashley is a strong, likable, independent heroine.
Jake is a sexy, Native American ALPHA Male.
The banter between Ashley and Jake is funny, sweet and hot.
Jake's friend/assistant Pancho adds humor and a bit of drama to the story.
One of the SEXIEST, HOTTEST shower scenes I ever remember reading.
The way Jake makes love to Ashley.
Cons:
I didn't see the relationship develop between Ashley and Jake. Yes their lovin' was hot, but there was no get to know you conversations, no descriptions of them just talking and watching their bond form. You don't "see" them fall in love. You have to believe it happens behind the scenes.
Limited banter between Jake and Ashley.
The meat of the book was about them tracking cougars, instead of "witnessing" the developing relationship between Jake and Ashley.
If I had to rate this book on character development and plot it would get 2.5 stars, while the smoking hot well written sex scenes earn it 3.5 stars. Please don't take my thoughts the wrong way, I am not saying it's a bad read, it is definitely worthy for a quick read on a rainy afternoon, a day at the beach or just to relax. When it comes down to it Ms. Reese developed two characters I liked a lot, I just wish I would have gotten more of them together.
Overall SNOWFALL is an enjoyable, short, light read with sex hot enough to keep you warm during a blizzard.

3.5 stars. Very quick, cute read. But the end...just sort of ended. It was a "huh?" when you turn the page and it says "About the author". Liked the characters. Liked the premise. But the end was just kinda there and the book didn't feel finished.

Hot Enough to Melt the Snowfall
Author Lainey Reese never disappoints when it comes to bringing intriguing story lines and hot characters with tons of chemistry! This quick novella was a great read.

I liked that there wasn't some stupid miscommunication to make them break up. U know, the kind that all romance novels have. So refreshing!

Research in the winter and Love
Great human characters, add a giant cougar and a bear makes for a different winter in the Cascade Mountains. A relatively quick and engaging read.

This is a new author to me but I so enjoyed reading this story. It was a fast read, catching you from the beginning.
Ashley Turner loves her winter life alone but a cougar was being a pain in her summer life of campers and hikers and Dr. Jacob "Jake" Eagle Feather and his coworker Poncho Reveras were determined to find out the reason why and invade Ashley's private winter. Amazing chemistry between Jake and Ashley with sizzling sex.
Lainey Reese writes great dialogue and wonderfully realistic characters.

I absolutely loved this story and the characters were great. The story was moving along when suddenly it just ended. I was absolutely shocked and kept going back a few pages and tried to go ahead because I thought I was going crazy. The end left me so unfulfilled, wanting more, confused and just dumb-founded. I hope she writes a sequel.

Cute story, short, but hot
The only complaint I have about the book is, it was too short. Did he stay with her on the mountain? Did she leave and travel with him? Or maybe only during her off season? Did they catch the damn cougar? Loved that bit of suspense with Poncho. Had me breathless there for a minute. Damn it, I need closure

I was expecting something a bit different after reading "Table for Three" from this author a couple of years ago. This was a nice quick light read.

Good, smokin hot, wonderful characters, loved the dogs as distinct characters.
The abrupt resolution and ending left me feeling a bit cheated, took it from a 4 star to 3 star.

Although not as heavy in the smut section, this book is a quick fix for fans of Lainey Reese.

Good story. More in line with the quality of Table for Three than her latest book.
