But when her stubborn father needs convincing about heart surgery, she jumps in her car and speeds toward home… straight into a snowbank…

Arnie doesn't ask for much. All the widower war vet wants is his farmland and his privacy. But when a fast-talking city slicker crashes her car near his house during a blizzard, he's forced to take her in. After Tabitha pries into a past he'd rather forget, he wonders if he'd be better off in the storm…

As the snow piles higher and Christmas approaches, Tabitha and Arnie begin to warm up to each other. Is Arnie willing to open himself up to a better future? When the snow melts, will Tabitha make a sacrifice for what her heart truly desires?

The cover for Snowstorm drew my attention. The book's blurb sold me on taking a chance on a Christmas inspirational romance (I've never read one). Add in a new author and I didn't know what to expect. As a person who reads strictly thrillers and action & adventure novels, I really, really enjoyed this touching, heartwarming and refreshing story.

The author did a great job with pacing, moving quickly past the more mundane elements and getting back to the main characters. As one who skips past the parts of thrillers that focus on the bad guys (and how the bad guy got to be so bad), I appreciated the continual spotlight on Tabitha and Arnie - Snowstorm's co-protagonists. There was no skipping ahead for me.

Character development/backstory was excellent, quickly helping me make the transition into caring about what happens to Tabby and Arnie. So much so that I would look forward to a second novel with them. I was sad when the words 'The End' appeared. I can recall one other book where that happened.

I write action & adventure/thrillers that I label as 'clean reads.' That being said, Snowstorm was a 'scrub-up-to-the-elbow-doctor-prepping-for-surgery' clean read. I don't believe there was a single foul word (mild or obscenely vulgar) in the whole book. It probably goes without saying, but there are no sex scenes, either.

Snowstorm is highly recommended by this author for those who enjoy a Hallmark Hall of Fame type love story. And, if you're a manly man looking to dip your toe into a new genre, you might want to give this one a second look.

I received a free copy of this book in return for an honest review.

This story is about being snowed in a house with someone you don't know. It was a very sweet story and reminded me of a hallmark movie.

I received a PDF.file ARC [Advanced Reader’s Copy] of this book from the author and the following is my honest opinion.

Whether it’s in real life or in the fictional romances we love to read, one thing is certain; the best times for romance to bloom is either Valentine’s Day [#1] or the Christmas holiday season [#2].

In this story you’ve got two diametrically opposed individuals. On one side you’ve got Arnie, a lonely war veteran who has lost a wife and asks nothing more than to be just left alone with his loneliness so he can tend to his farmland. Yet, he knows he needs someone to fill the void in his life, so he can become whole again.

On the other side, you’ve got Tabitha, an aggressive young woman who’s determined not to let anything, even men, get in her way in order to reach the apex of the corporate ladder. Yet, once she’s nailed another promotion, moving up another rung of that ladder, she’s got time to tend to family matters, specifically in persuading her obstinate father to undergo the heart surgery he desperately needs. But fate has other plans for her, by making sure Tabitha can’t get to her family when she wants to.

Call it fate, call it Kismet, it doesn’t matter it had been this which caused her car to plow right into a huge snowbank during a snow storm on her way to see her father and family for the Christmas holiday. Luckily, she sees a farmhouse, and drags her cold, wet body through the snow to reach it and asks for shelter until the storm passes. The guy who opens the door, Arnie, seeing Tabitha and the condition she was in, invites her in.

The snow turned into a raging blizzard, leaving these two individuals alone which each other. But, how long can two people go without really talking to each other?

As Tabitha and Arnie start to talk to each other, each revealing something about themselves. Arnie and the past he’d sooner not remember; and Tabitha with her desires for the future. And with the snow showing no signs of stopping and with Christmas fast approaching they opened about other things, culminating with them becoming more responsive and receptive to each other’s feelings. But, will this be enough for Arnie to allow himself to allow someone else into his life? Will this be enough for Tabitha to scrap her lifelong desire have what she wants for her life and career? Only the future knows in this inspirational, heartwarming story which had me, and will have its readers, pulling at the heartstrings. The answer will be known only after the blizzard stops, and the snow begins at last to melt, as these two lovers take a good, hard look at what each truly desires to have for the rest of their lives.

For being the truly inspirational Christmas romance story, it is, I’m happy to give it the 5 STARS it has gotten from me.

3.5 star rating.

The storyline seems unrealistic but not totally impossible, and makes for a good novel. Suspend your belief and enjoy! I liked the way the two characters form a team, trading off cooking and cleaning duties. I was amazed that this widower had a pantry full of food and that Tabby naturally knew how to cook fabulous meals and apple pies. She makes herself at home in Arnie’s house, a perfect stranger up to the point of being snowed-in. And then things start sizzling😄
