Let It Snow Let It Snow by Beth Moran
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 stars

This book had everything you could possibly want in a Christmas romance novel and more! It had an evil manipulative coworker! It had a childhood friend/nemesis/nerd boy love interest! It had a rockstar ex-boyfriend! It had a drama and guilt ridden family Christmas week! It had a paternal parentage mystery plot! It had a "we need tons of money or else we have to CLOSE this SCHOOL" charity drive? It had a blizzard filled road trip?? It had a multi-day interview and reality show competition combo at some billionaires Scottish estate??? All smashed into one zany romcom!

The female main character, Bea, was both really mean and really selfless and giving? The male main character, Henry, was a cardboard cutout who was always ready to do whatever Bea needed of him without interfering with a personality of his own! Bea's family was also really mean and really loved to guilt Bea who was busy doing a hundred things at once (see list above- Bea was involved in every last one of these things). There were literally (figuratively) 8,000 side characters and settings and events going on all at once and it was all rather chaotic.

All that being said, it was exactly the kind of nonsense you see in every Hallmark Christmas movie. If you don't take anything seriously and skim through the flashbacks that kinda go nowhere you will have a silly Christmas romp of a book. Perfect Christmas fluff read where everything works out and Christmas is saved and you forget it all by the next day! It's a Christmas miracle!

I received an ARC copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

the kevin's Extreme Disappointment Reads aka DNFs for May 2022

By -

May was not such a good month for books compared to April.   Seven DNFs, most in the first week of May. Captured by Riley Everton My review on Goodreads DNF at 13% When I read the blurb, I was expecting something a little more like PA from the assistant thing. What I actually got is like a manservant/butler/valet thing with lord-servant dynamics. Weird. It read very historical in its attitudes ("lines of propriety" and such out of place ideals) I've been informed that this is an anime trope. Maybe it works there, it doesn't work here. Given that assistant man is like personal servant, how can he still be innocent and uninvolved in mafia business? he's like a huge cotton candy fluff ball. a shrinking violet. you're washing blood out of a shirt get over yourself. Mafia man's POV was very tryhard, so many swearwords in such a short period of time. It actually made it kind of hard to read. The "explanation" for this longstanding love, at least from m...

Rachel Reid is back to answer some new (or the exact same) interview questions in celebration of her brand new book TIME TO SHINE out now and available wherever you get books! And no, there is no Ilya or Shane in this book this is a BRAND NEW STANDALONE BOOK HOCKEY UNIVERSE! Yay! Anyway, onto the questions! Horse Question 1: If Landon and Casey were actually thoroughbreds and racing the triple crown which one would win? Rachel: Landon would win because he runs a lot and Casey hates running. If the horses were on skates Casey would win. Horse Question 2: If Landon was a thoroughbred horse what would his horse show name be? Rachel: The first thing that popped into my head was Daddy’s Little Sad Sack, but Landon deserves better. How about Unexpected Hero? Regular Question 3: If you rewrote the book as a paranormal romance what would each character be? Rachel: Casey would be a laid back and helpful ghost who is kind of annoying but is also good company. Landon would be a cursed ...
