Let it snow book summary
Holly and Sam are both about twenty-one and are just figuring out what they want from their lives. Misleading sub-genre: It is difficult to tell from the description, but this novella is more of a new adult story than a typical contemporary novella. Unfortunately, I thought this novella had an abundance of problems. That realistic situation made the story feel a little more grounded. Obviously they don’t have all of the best provisions just as they wouldn’t in real life. For example once they realize their predicament, Holly and Sam have to scrounge around the bookstore for food, drinks, and something to keep them warm. Otherwise, I thought their unexpectedly snowed in situation was handled pretty well. It did require some suspension of disbelief because I know that when the weather is predicted to be bad where I work, I, along with everyone else, spend the day waiting and watching for said bad weather to start. Holly and Sam end up snowed in together at the bookstore where they both work due to a late shift, an unexpected snowstorm, and neither of them paying attention to the weather outside. I’d hoped for a novella with good character development pushed along by forced proximity.
There’s nothing better than a good snow day when you’re all stocked up on food and books and you’re probably not going to lose power. I picked this book because I love a good forced proximity via snow romance. What started out as one naughty night together turns into something so much more. Soon the two are trading heated kisses-as well as secrets neither has ever felt safe enough to tell before. Sam busts out a bottle of vodka from the boss’s office.
When they’re trapped by a full-blown blizzard, Holly breaks into the Christmas cookie display. Holly has always been a mystery to Sam, like a beautiful present he’d love to unwrap. Sam is glad the snow is keeping away customers-it gives him a chance to get close to his favorite employee. He has muscled arms, baby blue eyes, and a sweet pair of lips she wouldn’t mind meeting under the mistletoe.
But Holly’s holiday spirit returns when the store’s sexy new assistant manager arrives to keep her company. The weather is frightful and getting worse by the minute, and the same old annoying carols are blasting from the bookstore’s speakers. ‘Tis the night before Christmas Eve and Holly wishes she hadn’t volunteered to work the night shift.
