SNOW ANGELS is a sweet and sour romance. David can't quite make up his mind. The sweet, quiet Amish girl -- Molly -- with whom there is no sparks, but part of the life he wants, or the wild, exciting Englisch girl -- Bobbie -- who fills his every thought and dream. I felt kind of sorry for Molly. She had so much to deal with, with her beau having feelings for another woman, the bold Englisch woman talking with her, rumors, and of course, two young Mexican children who just lost their sole relative. Set in Ms. Irvin's popular Bee County, Texas, it plays in with that series.

This Amish Christmas Novella has us returning to Bee County, South Texas with main characters David, Molly, and Bobbie.

I found this book to move slower than the other books I've read of hers. Still, she writes in a way that draws readers in.

Excellent novella

A heart pulled in two directions will determine his life forever. A love so strong it could only come from God. Will he find the woman God has for him? An absolutely beautiful story.

I have fond memories of the Bee County series and enjoyed reading more about David who fell for an Englisch girl who walked away from him rather than tempt him to leave his faith. Just as David is moving on with Molly Bobbie returns to tempt him again jeopardizing his future with Molly, his Amish community and Gott’s plan for him. I admired Molly’s spunky attitude, her inability to dislike Bobbie and how she holds David accountable for his actions. Now it’s David’s turn to grow up and decide what he really wants which becomes clearer as Christmas approaches. This is a great story at any time of the year.

I loved Kelly Irvin's novella in An Amish Christmas Love. While there's been no official engagement between David and Molly, it's assumed there will be. Then a woman from his past comes to town.
Irvin did an amazing job of believably showing the conflict of two different lifestyles and faiths as David struggled with what he wanted. Two women, both good women so it was hard to say one was definitely not the right one.

I loved the faith that Molly showed in waiting to see what he would do, all the while not making it easy for him. I wasn't sure until the end the choice he would make, but it was the perfect one. (No spoiler)

Snow Angels is a wonderful novella written by Kelly Irvin which is one of four novellas in An Amish Christmas Love. This novella takes us back to Bee County in Texas where we get to catch up with characters from previous books. This book takes us down that rocky road of love but this time it is with David Byler and Molly Shrock.

Everything seems to going well for David and Molly until they attend an auction together and run into someone from David's past. Molly is shocked when David reveals who this person is. This is where the story starts to get interesting and you won't want to put the book down.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book. I was not asked to post a favorable review. This story is one that I will highly recommend to all those who love the Amish genre and romance. I have rated this story with five stars for having a wonderful storyline.

Congratulations to Kelly Irvin on delivering another outstanding story for her readers. I will be watching this author for more books in the future.
