Snow in Love With You

by Tina Martin

Denarius and Erah and grew up together. They go waaay back. Their mothers were pregnant at the same time. They grew up in the same neighborhood – same schools. Same college. You don’t find friendship like theirs anymore.

But…

They’re twenty-four now and Denarius is beginning to wonder why they’ve never tried to be anything more. He knows Erah is totally against a relationship, so he makes a bet with her that if it snows on new year’s day, she has to agree to go on a date with him. Since it usually never snows in Christenbury Hills that early, Erah agrees. Whether it snows or not, she is determined on not falling for him and ruining their lifelong friendship.

I need more of this type of love

Friends to lovers will always be tops on my love story tropes. I was a little annoyed that this couple waffles too much about being together. I was like, stop being wuussies and take the plunge. You will be alright. And I was correct.

Denny loved him so Erah. As I read page after page, all I could say was “he loves himself some her”. Not to mention friends to lovers is my favorite trope. I cant wait to read the series with all the brothers and the parents too. I would give the novel a 10 for the rich love, and the enduring efforts to maintain friendship as usual.

Denny and Erah

Snow in Love is now one of my favorite happily ever after romances. Jarret and Councill. The story and characters are well written.

[NubianJoí · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oh, how sweet love, snow ❄️ & romance is in the CHs air💞‼️ Quintessential lovebirds Erah & Denny were too cute navigating cradle to career best friends can also be relationship & marriage goals. Meanwhile, “Snow in Love With You (Christenbury Hills series)” - Book 2 was a good read (4.0⭐’s). However, there’s still more Chistenbury Hills shenanigans remaining in the cauldron 👀🤭….🍿‼️

Denny and Erah

A great story about best friends to lovers
Denny was so patient waiting for Erah to catch up and admit her feelings for him
Everyone around them could see the love he had for her but she was scared
Once she got over her fear the story was beautiful
Great job Tina you always write stories with relatable characters and great storyline

[Lee Holden, E. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good read

Good read, I enjoyed the characters and storyline, Denarius and Erah are life long friends. They have been inseparable since they were toddlers. They do everything together. Denny is in love with his best friend Erah and wants to change the dynamics of their relationship, but she’s afraid it will ruin their friendship. This is their friends to lover journey
.

Nice and Sweet

Not many people get a chance to love on a best friend, but these two showed us how it's done, but not an easy task when a lot of sacrifices rears it's ugly head. Loved the journey. Great Read! Renee G

In the beginning

It was fun watching them évolue from best friends to marriage. She was afraid to lose her best friend but he wasn't going nowhere. Loved it.
