Snowflakes and Holly (Hartwood Holiday Romance) by Jae Dawson – Review by Lisa Helmick

Snowflakes and Holly: A Small Town Christmas Romance by Jae Dawson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loved this one! Each of these characters is unique in their thoughts and abilities. These two definitely called each other out on their issues but in a good way. Their professional and personal lives bounce and slam together like they are jumping on a trampoline.

Blake’s story in Chapter 2 just about killed me! I am surprised he has such an upbeat personality with all that he has endured. The way he met Finn and how their friendship grew was wonderful. It made me realize there are still good people in the world. I really enjoyed a lot about Blake and the way he looks at the world and definitely looks at Holly. Especially what he calls her “murder eyebrow” that he secretly loves when she brings it out to show she means business.

Holly is a wonderful character. She has demons in her past that make her a super physical therapist but struggle with the rest of her life. She has RBF and isn’t afraid to use it. I liked that she was open to a relationship with Blake which shows she can change. I also liked how she “pretended” to hate Blake’s song picks but didn’t really.

…OH I forgot to mention Finn! He impressed me from the beginning (with his love of potato chips in sandwiches) and that held until the end. His caring, kindness and thoughtfulness makes me hope he gets his own story.

Overall this is a great story! The characters are all delightful and the story easily kept me turning pages. Usually I like the lead male as a favorite of the book. This time there is a three way tie..Holly, Blake and Finn. There is a lot to like, love and enjoy in here. I am eagerly awaiting the next in the series!
