Snow King Catches His Snowflake
After being in a relationship for three years, Noelle Frost is faced with the reality that she was definitely the better half. Her friends, ecstatic she’s dropped the dead weight of a cheating boyfriend, urge her to get away for the holiday and take some time for herself.
Not sure if that’ll fix anything but willing to try, she books a last minute trip to the world-renowned Mistletoe Mountain Resort. Noelle boards the plane with the promise of peace and relaxation on the horizon.
Snow King is stuck in a rut, believing himself undeserving of joy and pleasure after suffering more than one devastating loss — one he still shoulders the blame for. Even with supportive family and friends, he still prefers solitude.
Every year, instead of trudging through the painful memories Christmas brings, he takes a solo trip to escape the holiday cheer. Typically that’s anywhere that doesn’t remind him of the season. But this year, his well-meaning assistant books him a trip to the North Pole reincarnate.
An overbooking incident, one dis-robed guest, and a nasty run-in with pepper spray tell the Christmas story in a way you won’t believe.

I stumbled upon A.E. Valdez about a month ago and barreled through her catalog. She was a NTM author that sucked me in instantly. The way she effortlessly develops a vulnerable alpha male character is unmatched.
While the storyline of Snow King catches his Snowflake is not original and has a lot of similarities as other holiday reads, the way she pulls you in with these characters will make your heart flutter with all the feels. Noelle is fresh out of a 3 year bid I mean relationship after she catches her extremely entitled boyfriend cheating on her. While slightly heartbroken she realizes that the relationship ran its course long ago. At the suggestion of her sister and bff, she agrees to take a solo vacation to Mistletoe Mountain Resort. After the resort screws up and double books their cabin, Noelle ends up rooming with Snow King! Snow King ends up at Mistletoe Mountain Resort after his assistant decides to switch up the plans from what usually is a tropical vacation for Snow. At one time Snow King loved Christmas. You’d think he was raised by ole St. Nick himself. After suffering two tragic losses, the holidays just weren’t the same..
The 5 days he and Noelle spent together were magical. The chemistry was potent and the spice was plentiful! These two got down and dirty in the best way possible. A bish definitely needs some feather stimulation after the library scene. The character development and the flow of the story was perfectly paced. It was an instalove that didn’t feel rushed at all. The way it was written would have you thinking these two knew each other for a lifetime.
I can’t wait for Winter and Eve’s story. Those two have a story to tell and I cannot wait to see it unfold. The glimpses we received in this book alone were potent! Those two were fire and ice and I need the backstory ASAP!!

I’m claiming Winter NOW. So hands off.
3.25⭐️
This was a fun holiday read, with so many likable characters. With SPICE.. I sense a found family trope approaching and I LOVE IT.
There’s also something about a rich Black man that makes me.. 😏
Tropes:
Black Billionaire ✅
Forced proximity ✅
Small town✅
Grumpy/sunshine✅
This book has one of my favorite tropes, forced proximity. I’ll immediately buy a book if the characters have to share a blanket. However, I like for the slow burn to really burn, I need the tension to be high and I need angst, that’s what makes forced proximity so good! Snow and Noelle were attracted to each other almost instantly, which made me not enjoy certain parts of this story. At times, the chemistry between them felt so authentic, but I truly wished things would’ve happened a lot slower between them, because I enjoyed the plot and the characters in this book sooo much. I hope this becomes a series because I love EVERYONE in this book. 🫶🏾

This book was so good. Noelle got rid of her no good boyfriend and found so much more. Snow was in a dark place when he and Noelle met. It didn’t take long for things to turn around. I really enjoyed Snow and Noelle’s story. I’m so excited for the rest of the series. A.E. Valdez has become one of my favorite authors.

I have yet to read a book that I didn’t love from this author. They’re so fun and spicy and the chemistry is always top tier. They have the perfect balance of reality with just a touch of fantastical situations to really make these stories interesting.
I have always enjoyed slow burns more than anything. I find if they don’t spend enough time developing their feelings, it doesn’t feel genuine to me. I would consider this one a faster burn but it was done so well. They were instantly attracted to each other but their connection was obvious. They were both still trying to cope with their past relationships, (Noelle got cheated on and Snow’s fiancé died) so there was still some hesitation to pursue anything with each other.
Overall, is was quick and spicy, it had great characters and a fun setting with Christmas vibes, and I had a great time.

This was a beautiful story, just the right amount of romance, spice, conflict and resolution. It gave all the holiday feels, even though it’s the middle of the summer when I am reading this. Snow and his Snowflake were destined for each other.

When I first started this one I had to suspend my belief a bit to take the story seriously due to how quickly Snow and Noelle connected (especially considering how they first met)😂
At about the 30-40% mark I forgot all about that and was in the story!
This was adorable 💕
I loved their little dates while at the resort and the way they found each other at the right time allowing them to heal and put their past behind them.
I’ll definitely be continuing on with this series ❄️🫶🏾😍

So freaking awesome!
You all, I am in love with this author and her writing style. She makes readers believe that love is possible. In this story, Snow King continued to suffer after losing his loved one. Noelle was recently rid of her good for nothing ex, and was still reeling from her breakup. She and Snow found themselves in each others universe, and wow, wow, and wow! I loved this couple, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching their relationship grow like kudzu on a vine. And all the while, they spread lots of affection and sweet vibes. Also, both families were extremely funny and added the special spunk to the story. You need to read this story pronto!

Noelle x Snow
A+ Absolutely loved this. This book gave me all the feels. It was extremely sweet and super well developed. The characters were soo loveable, especially Snow. My man was mending a broken heart and grieving. Noelle, too, was also nursing her broken heart back to health when she unintentionally snuck her way into Snow's heart and changed his life.
The love was soo effortless and soo swoon worthy. I hate that it's when Christmas is ending the books are starting to get good. Ms. Valdez is starting to become a favorite of mine.
Hope we get a Winter and Eve story

I received this book in exchange for an honest review of this book!
Snow and Noelle captivated me from both of their introductory chapters! We meet Noelle as she ends a relationship and has to quit her job. While Snow is still trying to heal from the death of his fiancé. They both decide that a Christmas getaway to Mistletoe Mountain is just what they need…until the hotel over books cabin six and they’re stuck spending their holiday together.
As a fan of holiday movies A.E. Valdez’s writings are like a warm cup of cocoa on the sofa wrapped up with you love under the mistletoe!!
An absolute must read for the holiday season!!!

Bundle up babes because we are going on a trip to Mistletoe Mountain for Christmas! I adore A.E. Valdez and apparently everything she writes. This is Billionaire Black Romance with an abundance of love and laughter. My heart is so full and it's all because of Snow King!
First and foremost let's give it up to Amanda for creativity! This is the first in the Three Kings Series centering the Three King Brother's (Winter, Snow and North) and their winter romances. She then doubles down and names the women (Noelle, Aspen and Eve) seasonal names as well! Then tops it off by giving the Noelle the cute nickname of Snowflake and giving the Grinch and Cindy Lou who grump/sunshine vibes. The feels are too much!
Speaking of feels the sibling love is just as strong as the romantic love. The King Brothers are strong but vulnerable and I love to see that duality reflected in Black men. They've all experienced traumatic loss and have coped in various ways but relied upon each other to pull them through. In addition to the sibling protectiveness and banter we see between Aspen and Noelle. Everyone's personalities were well crafted and balanced well before I realized sequels were going to be in store for us.
I loved that A.E. Valdez showcased successful and wealthy Black couples like Ezra and Brielle. They established a long term friendship with Snow and continue to be there for him after the death of Kenna. A.E. Valdez navigated that relationship very well and used it to help tell the backstory of Snow. While it has some heavy topics there are just as many light and funny times to counterbalance the mood. One of my favorites being that TSA agent scene early on. I cackled out loud!
Lastly, I just have to mention this book doesn't let the cold dial back the steam! If you were worried don't be... Remember there is always a hot tub or sled trip with a blanket to warm you up in the mountains!
A.E. Valdez has found a forever fan in me!

I received this book in exchange for my honest review. Listen, y’all were going to get this review regardless of me receiving this book earlier because I preordered the physical copy and the ebook already. 😂 I stand for A.E. Valdez
Now with that out of the way, let’s get into this review…
Noelle Frost has just ended her relationship of 3 years because she caught her ex cheating. Heartbroken but also feeling free for the first time in 3 years, Noelle let’s her sister Aspen and best friend Eve convince her to take a vacation to clear her mind and maybe even get her Christmas socks blown off 😂. She finds the most perfect resort and lucky for her they have one room left.
Snow King is the grinch reincarnated. After losing his fiancé 5 years ago on Christmas Day he understandably doesn’t celebrate the holidays anymore, which is a hard thing for him to avoid since he is the CEO of his families toy company. Normally every year he take a vacation to a tropical beach alone to avoid his family. Well This year he left the planning up to his assistant Wilder, sensing that his boss needed to switch things up he books him a vacation to the beautiful Mistletoe Mountain.
An overbooked reservation forces two people who had every intent of spending the holiday alone into close proximity.
This was the perfect holiday read, forget the holiday part, because I know I will be reaching for this one throughout the year. Grab you a warm drink, a blanket and (ladies)your 🌹 😂 (iykyk) and enjoy this beautiful black love romance.
Oh did I mention that is will be a series, Snow has two fine billionaire brothers names Winter and North and I’m so ready for Winters story because I know it will be juicy.. North I can already feel he is going to have me swooning the whole book.

holiday with heart
There is nothing like when a book makes you feel all the things. I think one of my favorite things about Valdez’s writing is there are always these gems that feel like they are speaking directly to my heart. The theme of love yourself, know your worth, do the work to heal in all of her books are so incredibly powerful. This is a medium burn, holiday romance that puts you in the mindset of Christmas without being overly cheesy. It’s a hilarious meet-cute, with funny grumpy-sunshine banter, and an almost fated mates feel that I personal love. Snow King is a book boyfriend that will ruin you even though he’s a little bit broken and in major need of a hug. Noelle was so fun, dramatic, and relatable. I don’t think there is anything about this book you won’t enjoy. Be mindful of reading if grief and death of a parent and partner are triggering for you.

I loved Noelle so much. Her whole vibe and attitude was funny and sensitive and so me. I love her personality and how she was herself notated what, she never switched up. And I loved her relationship with Aspen. I love when sisters have a strong bond.
Snow was obviously too good. He was amazing when he started to open up and I loved that for him. I wanted the whole wedding and happy ending for them. Also rooting for North and Aspen now. But him letting go was a moment for me and him doing it for himself was amazing. He did it cause he wanted to move on.

Swoon worthy
Thoroughly enjoyed this Christmas story. I laughed out loud quite a few times and it was definitely a little(ok, a lot) naughty. Had me blushing quite a bit. I loved both characters so much and the supporting cast of characters. I would love to read more about the brothers and even Snowflakes sister.
Definitely recommend this Christmas novel.

This was a cute read. I enjoyed the grumpy-sunshine dynamic, the forced proximity, and fun banter. However, the pacing didn’t quite work for me in certain areas. The love element was what I felt was missing. I picked up more close friends-with-benefits vibes. I could see them growing into a relationship down the line, but not with the current pacing.

I loved everything about this book! The story was adorable, filled with romance, and had amazing chemistry between the characters—I didn’t want it to end. It’s the perfect Christmas read, though I do wish the cover art was a bit better. Overall, this was a quick, delightful read that hit all the right notes.

Yet another 5 star…A.E Valdez is an amazing author. I love Snow & Snowflake story. Snow was dealing with grief while Snowflake was getting over a fckboy. There was instant attraction after Snow could see from the pepper spray 🤣🤣..I hope this another series, if so I can’t wait to read about Winter & Eve’s story.

This unbelievably adorable! So many fun festive elements with a really swoony meet disaster turned romance 🥹💜 but when I tell you I'm already feral for Winter's second chance romance 🙏🙏🙏

Loved them
I hesitated to read this book for so long because I assumed, based on the title, that it was Christmas / holiday / Santa Claus themed. And that is not the case at all! Snow King is the hero's first and last name. That's it. This is a full-on contemporary romance, and yes while it is timed around the Christmas holiday, that's as far as the festiveness goes.
All that being said, I absolutely love this book! When we first meet the heroine she is in the middle of a horrible breakup, and is wanting to escape her reality over the holidays. She chooses some random destination resort, nestled in the snowy mountains, and expects to spend her time reflecting and relaxing. What she doesn't expect is to run into Snow on her first day there when he unknowingly walks into her hotel room because, oops, they've double booked. Their first meeting was hilarious, and you think there's no way they can bounce back from that initial drama, however they do and what follows is a fun, heartfelt, sexy AF romance.
Snow is the CEO of a toy making company and he and his brothers all have winter-themed names. Blame his parents. When he and the heroine smash into each other on day one, he does something that not even he can believe he does, and he invites her to stay in their double booked room. Because where else is she supposed to go? And this woman is fine AF so why not? Well, Snow doesn't quite realize that that one single decision is about to change his entire life.
These two are fast friends, and that sets them up to be amazing lovers. They've both got walls up around their heart. As we explore their past grief and trauma, it's a beauty to see these two let their guards down and fall in love again. Love is a powerful thing, a healing thing, and these two get to experience the power of it. And yes, these two are so hot together! I mean wouldn't you be too if you were both desperate for love in mind body and soul?

Noelle and Snow are such a cute couple, and this is such a great steamy, holiday romance! I can’t wait to read about Snow’s brothers (Winter and North) as well.

Omg the first book I’ve read of hers and it’s so good!!! From the very first sentence of the book, I was hooked. I absolutely adored the MMC Snow and the FMC Noelle 🥹 their relationship was so authentic and I loved their banter. I got hooked to everyone in the series and started the next right book right away because I’m not ready to leave their world yet. 5 stars ♥️

I loved this spicy, Christmas romance. Snow and Noelle's chemistry was electric!
If you enjoy close proximity & grumpy/sunshine tropes, you'll love this book.
The dual POV had me really invested in both characters. I just couldn't get enough of Snow! There's something really dope about a rich black man! And his character development was top tier! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU SNOW!
I would've rated this book 4 stars if the sexual chemistry didn't jump off so fast. I was like okayyy, so we're doing this already (lol). However, I do love that the author incorporated some romantic dates and meaningful conversations...that's when I started to believe in the characters relationship!
This is the second book that I've read by A.E. Valdez and I'm a fan!
I loved this spicy, Christmas romance. Snow and Noelle's chemistry was electric!
