I loved this so much. Holly and blake were made for eachother. A man who cant stop being out on the snow and the women to afraid to be. Holly is determined to see blake recover, but it seems maybe she is the one that needs his help This is a beautiful love story and I can not stop rereading it!! It has everything you could want: humor, love, sexy time, and some tears. It’s so good!! Side note: I need to maks that gingerbread cookie recipe!! Yum!
Who doesn’t love the idea of Christmas, Winter and Romance? I freaking love it! Snowflakes and Holly: A Small Town Christmas Romance is the fourth book in the Hartwood Holiday Romance Series by Jae Dawson. This book pretty much has this magical holiday summed up into an awesome little package. This book was so stinking adorable I couldn’t stand it. Definitely filled with a lot of laughter and a great big dose of Christmas sprinkled with a bit of spicy romance! Holly is a physical therapist who plays by the rules so to speak. She never veers off course after losing her father so tragically. Blake is the complete opposite and the dare devil of the two as a former Olympic Snowboarder Medalist. Blake is heartbreakingly diagnosed with a bone disease and the only person that is going to get him back to his former self is of course, Holly. However, there is something to be said about the Holidays that brings people closer. These two together are a match made in heaven! The chemistry between these two is off the charts! I loved the way that these two banter and how their relationship develops throughout the book. This is the fourth book in the series but can definitely be read as a standalone. I was very happy that I was able to read this book and definitely recommend this book to others! You won’t be disappointed.
After her father dies, the happy and risk-taking Holly has become a sarcastic and play-it-safe physical therapist. She stays within her comfort zone when it comes to her life and her heart. Everything that reminds her of her father, and her life before he died, is something she tucks away deep inside her and tries not to confront. When she takes on a patient while her partner takes a leave of absence, her carefully constructed life will be challenged and her walls start coming down.
Blake is a former Olympic snowboarding champion that is coming back from a series of injuries. From a bone disease that led to a partial leg amputation and an accident that has really messed up his back, he has spent plenty of time in a physical therapist’s office. When his new PT is the woman he had a run-in with on the slopes the weekend before…he is ready to walk out before the appointment even starts. Once he gets past her tough façade…he sees a kindred spirit trying to work through the hand that life has dealt them.
I found both of these characters to be relatable. Holly and I have a similar sense of humor. But watching both of these characters face their pasts in order to move on in their future was inspiring and emotional. Understanding how one person in our lives can be tied to so many memories is a reminder to make memories when you can…while knowing that making new memories is a way of healing. I enjoyed this story!
Snowflakes and Holly: A Small Town Christmas Romance (A Hartwood Holiday Romance) by Jae Dawson is a sweet and endearing love story. This author paints a beautiful picture of what love can be if you just take a chance. Tragedy and triumph are just some of the moments in this story. Fireworks explode when Holly and Will meet as personalities clash and passionate tension presents itself. I was drawn to these characters immediately and was kept enthralled the whole way through. This story was sweet with an abundance of sass. I loved it and everything the story represented. Jae Dawson is a seriously talented author and will always been known to me for drawing the reader in and bewitching them from beginning to end. 4 stars.
Snowflakes and Holly: A Small Town Christmas Romance by Jae Dawson is part of the A Hartwood Holiday Romance series. This series can be read in any order because each is its own story. This book is set during the Christmas season featuring physical therapist Holly and former Olympian Blake. The two seem to be a natural match. I like the character Holly because though she is dealing with a loss she has a great sense of humor. Blake is competitive and had his own losses which allow the two of them to find common ground. I have enjoyed this series and this book. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
Snowflakes and Holly: A Small Town Christmas Romance by Jae Dawson is a Hartwood Holiday Romance. I think this one has to be my favourite of the series so far. I thought this book was so entertaining, the characters really had me laughing. But at the same time the author has managed to create a depth to them with real emotion behind them. You become invested in their journey, especially because of their histories. This has been a brilliant series so far and with each book it just seems to get better. I love how easy this authors writing style comes across. The story just seems to flow. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.
I am a person who loves Christmas galore. I literally am the person who will sing Christmas songs while cleaning the kitchen and dress an elf to deliver presents. I wasn’t always like that though. I strayed from the idea of feeling happy as hard times I have been though. Then I met the love of my life. So when I read the plot story line for this amazing book, I knew I didn’t have to just read it, I knew I was attracted to it in sense of maybe finding a bit of who I am inside the pages?
This book is around Christmas time and you have two characters that could not be any more alike. Or were they? Holy was like who I used to be. Closed off from the feeling the festivities of Christmas gave off. She was a a modern ice queen. That said she had endured devastation that truly impacted her. But deep down that heart of hers was loving and warm, and had a passion for helping people. And would never let anyone fail on her part. Overall tough she had trust issues I found quickly that she was a commendable and likable character.
Blake, he was snowboard winner in the past for the Olympics. Unfortunately a medical issues arises and he loses one his very legs. This just doesn’t depress him…it really kills his self worth he feels for himself and brings a dark cloud over him like probably a lot of us never had. Imagine the thing you loved doing most and being told you can never do that again? That your life was forever changed and no matter how you looked at it or tried, there was no going back?
On both the ends of Holly and Blake I felt for both in different ways. Not just sadness, but a urge in my heart that felt quite devastated and they needed help in their lives. Or did the doctor just write a prescription for a Christmas miracle?
When they meet and their lives collide. Maybe love and fate had the upper hand at play here? There was instant chemistry, though, neither of them wanted to accept or even consider it at the first meet. They both came from painful walks of life and had reasons not to open up to one another, but when you find a connection such as that would you pass it up?
Reading on I learned more in depth of how they were and how they got to be where they are in life. As well as myself, the two characters seemed to form a bond that was deniable. And most certainly did not give them an icy chill, but more of a warm fire on a cold winter day. They were opposites perhaps at first but maybe the whole thought of peanut butter goes with jelly is true? Different in aspects of life, but when put together, its the perfect combination!
I loved this book more than words. It made me smile a lot as well as laugh at times. The author wrote a very wonderful and happy story. I was convinced, and fell in love. At the end I was able to finish reading and smile knowing I got to visit a wonderful time of Christmas and live through the shoes of others lives that started off on a bad foot, but ended up with a blissful happy feeling. Exactly what I always seem to read when I experience anything associated to Christmas 🙂
This author always is amazing. I have one of their other works, and it was just as good and amazing. I look forward to more books in the future from this author. For they truly play the right song on my heart strings with their writing, their characters, and the feelings their books bring 🙂
This book was a fun read. I enjoyed Holly’s humor and the banter between the characters. How they met wasn’t exactly the smoothest of introductions, but it put them in one another’s path. After learning their backstories you can’t help but feel for them. They both have had tragedies happen in their past that they are trying to put behind them, but that’s a lot easier said than done. I felt like this was a great fit in the series, a bit different than the first two books, but still great. I don’t usually like the dual POV as it seems unnecessary, but the author made it flow seamlessly. I can’t wait to dig into book four.

Snowflakes and Holly by Jae Dawson is a wonderful story. Holly has deep rooted trauma stemming from her father’s untimely death when he was caught in an avalanche. Blake is a former Olympian who lost one of his legs due to cancer. They meet on the ski slope when Blake crashes into Holly in an attempt to save a child who veered into his path when he was snowboarding. Their first meeting wasn’t the best and wouldn’t you know, they very quickly find out they will be working together. These two had a somewhat bumpy start but find ways to crack each other’s walls. I loved this book as much as the other books in the Hartwood Falls series.
What happens when your world comes crashing to a halt when a Olympic snowboarder is that distraction.
Holly has always worked hard at her job some people may call her a workaholic, but when she has time to relax she gets a fright of her life when in crashers a pain in bum.
Blake was an Olympic Snowboarder but when a bone disease takes that life away from him, he becomes more determined to find an adventure while he still can. When he literally runs into Holly can the chemistry they feel be the final adventure or will they end up hating each other.
I loved this story from the first word to the last, the chemistry between these two characters just comes off the page and loved also the love/hate relationship was brilliant build within the story. The story was well written and created a great world around the main characters. This is not the first book I have read by this wonderful author and this will not be the last.

Snowflakes and Holly is a sweet holiday story that will make your heart melt. The plotline is sweet and innocent. There is something magical about the holidays that make your heart melt. The characters are opposites and if saying opposites attract is an understatement. This is Holly and Blake’s story. Holly plays everything safe without taking risks. Blake is a daredevil and lives on the edge. Holly is a physical therapist and Blake is an Olympic snowboarder. Blake had a disease that took his left leg and he has lost his career. Holly does everything she is supposed to do within normal limits. She takes no chances. That is until she met Blake. Will Blake take one more chance with Holly? Will Holly be brave and take a chance with Blake? I highly recommend this heartfelt story.

Snowflakes and Holly: A Small Town Christmas Romance (A Hartwood Holiday Romance) by Jae Dawson is your usual sweet small town contemporary romance. Where he loves to live life to its fullest and on the edge and she just plods along keeping to the safe zone. It is a story of opposites attract. But is this enough for a lasting romance? With a little drama and angst, humour and wittiness, it was nice to snuggle up with a hot chocolate, under a blanket with the heater on and escape from reality for a few hours.
I absolutely love a holiday romance story, even if it is in July and I love reading stories by this author! Her books never fail to entertain me and leave me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. I loved Holly! She was such a wonderful character to read about, such a genuine and realistic character to read about. I was really invested in the characters story. The authors attention to detail means that her stories are really brought to life and I often feel like I can envisage them as a movie. This was a wonderful romance read and one that I would definitely recommend to other readers! I look forward to more from this author in the future.
This is a great holiday romance story that I enjoyed. This is not my first book by this author but it is certainly one of my favorites by her. This is a well written story that is full of holiday warmth and sweet romance. The characters are relatable and bring the story to life on each page. I enjoyed being pulled into the story as well as being kept engaged throughout the story. This is a story about two people who are opposites but find a common ground to bring them together. Holly likes to play it safe and Blake likes to live on the edge. Together they have great chemistry and an attraction that heats up the pages. This was a great story that I really enjoyed. I highly recommend this book.
Snowflakes and Holly: A Small Town Christmas Romance (A Hartwood Holiday Romance) by Jae Dawson is a sweet, contemporary, holiday romance. With a small town setting and we get to see how opposites attract and find love unexpectedly. This series has the most beautiful covers, each one gives off great romantic vibes. They really do give this series its own unique look and ‘feel’. Snowflakes and Holly is definitely my favourite of the series, so far. Even thought the characters, Holly and Blake, frustrated me at times, I did enjoy their story. I wonder what Ms. Dawson has in store for us next?

Physical therapist Holly Maryn likes to play it safe. Losing her father in a tragic mountaineering accident left her extra careful in all areas of life—so careful, that her love life is frozen solid. But she’s content to weather another Christmas season buried in a winter wonderland of work, warmed by the laughter of her best girlfriends.
Former Olympic snowboarder Blake Bellows lives life on the edge. Or at least, he did until a degenerative bone disease stole his left leg and, with it, his career. Still, he’s determined to climb his way back to the top of the athletic world, whatever the cost. But his dream is thrown into jeopardy when a wild run down the mountain tangles him in the skis and life of a golden-haired beauty.
An infuriatingly honest woman he never wants to see again.
And yet, she proves to be the one person equally as determined to see him recover.
Holly and Blake find common ground and overcome their fears together in this twinkling, mistletoe-clad tale of hope and perseverance.
Heartbeats and Roses: A Small Town Valentine’s Day Romance (A Hartwood Holiday Romance) by Jae Dawson
Another great read by Dawson. Hartwood really sounds like a magical place. I highly recommend this for romance lovers.
Rose is a flower shop owner in Hartwood. She is missing a certain someone. When her landlord tells her that he has a guest coming. The said guest arrives and it throws Rose off her game. The quote I chose for Rose is: “I survived losing you once, and I think I can do it again. But if you were ever my friend, if you ever cared for me, you will do this for me now. Make peace with Mae. Apologize to her. Find a way in your cold dead Grinch heart to let her in. And then leave me the hell alone.”
Liam is coming back home after losing a patient. He needs the vacation and seeing old friends. The one person he was hoping to avoid is the first person he sees. The quote I chose for Liam is: “Oh? That’s all you have to say? Oh?”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

I really enjoyed this book, more than I anticipated. It captured and held my attention through the entire thing. The characters were relatable and the way Jae writes about this town makes me want to plan a trip to Washington!
All the quirks that Rose has cracked me up and made me love her that much more and learning of her one weakness made me giggle.
I didn’t want to like Liam, I tried really hard not to like him, too. It wasn’t easy and I wasn’t successful. His story hit a little close to home so I felt like I couldn’t dislike him even though I really wanted to.
AND NOW I want to have a Candlelit Dance under the tree, and I don’t even have a tree I could dance under!
Moonlight and Belladonna: A Small Town Halloween Romance (Hartwood Holiday Romance) by Jae Dawson
This is the first book I’ve read by Dawson. It will not be my last. Hartwood makes me feel at home and I didn’t want to leave. I will be going back soon!
Bella is a high school drama and arts teacher. The new musical is coming up and Bella gets help from someone she thought she could do without. Can she get over her fear of falling for rock stars. The quote I chose for Bella is: “I wouldn’t kiss your a** if it were the last a** on earth.”
Cade is a famous artist. When he cimes home to bury someone he loves things go from eh to worse. Community service lets him stay to take care of someone. Will he fall for the teacher? The quote I chose for Cade is: “Yeah, I didn’t start a band to become famous. I did it because I loved music and I loved playing music with my friends. It pi**es me off that the best songs I write usually don’t make the A-side cut, while the vapid but catchy drivel I’m forced to write ends up at the top of the Billboard charts. And that it’s more important how I look, what my branding image is, than how I play. And that every person I meet wants a piece of me because my record label contract somehow makes me a demi-god of entertainment. It’s . . . exhausting.”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

Heartbeats and Roses is part of Jae Dawson’s A Heartwood Holiday Romance series. The books can be read independently, and can be enjoyed as such. This book is a cute happily ever after clean romance. The descriptive writing is a little over the top at times, but it works. It describes the characters and their personalities. Rose is a florist and is a hopeless romantic. She describes feelings based on flowers that represent them, quotes classic literature, and dreams of knights in shining armor and swooning. Her clothes are described as doilies and lace, often pink, and she is all about romance and flowers. Liam is a doctor and describes feelings based on the chemicals and biological cause of them. Despite the two being completely different, they were best friends their whole lives. Liam quickly left town in high school, and cut all contact with Rose. Fate seems to bring them back together, and a series of freak accidents force their time together. While the book was a bit cheesy, I loved it! Can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

Heartbeats and Roses (Hartwood Holiday Romance) by Jae Dawson
4 Stars
This was a super sweet story that falls at the perfect time of year. I previously read Moonlight and Belladonna which was set in Hartwood Hollow just as this one was. You can easily read each of these as standalones and each seems to follow the holiday theme.
I had a little trouble with this one as far as connecting with the two main characters. The actual storyline and the events during the story kinda took over for me. The family aspect as well was probably my favorite part of the whole story..Rose and Liam were awesome, and I loved each on their own, I just didn’t connect with the love story between the two, and I can’t explain why, I was more interested in Rose’s flower shop and her Valentines antics and her family, I couldn’t get enough of all of that. I love this small town and really will be looking forward to the next holiday in this series.
This is my 2nd book by this author, and I love many things about her writing and will absolutely be back for more.
Heartbeats and Roses: A Small Town Valentine’s Day Romance (A Hartwood Holiday Romance) By Jae Dawson
This book was sweet and romantic. I liked Rose and her quirky romantic ways. She owns a flower shop and let’s love speak with her flowers. Rose’s family is fun, supportive and quirky just like her and I loved reading about them. Liam decides to take a much needed vacation and heads back to his hometown. He had no idea how hard it was going to be when all the feelings came back from 20 years ago. Rose and Liam grew up together and were hoping to become more than friends when he was forced to move away and he never looked back. This book is full of forgiveness, romance, second chances, and cute moments. This was a good read.
Heartbeats and Roses (book two in the Hartwood Holiday Romance series) by Jae Dawson was a really good read! I think Dawson has some of the prettiest covers, and I absolutely fell in love with this one. If you like contemporary romance with a happy ending, this book is for you. While this is the second in the series, it can be read as a standalone novel. This was the perfect sweet read for Valentine’s day. And honestly I learned a lot more about flowers from this book. I had no idea flowers had so many meanings! I loved this (to me anyway) second chance romance and I can’t wait to read the next installment in this series.
This is my first read by Jae Dawson and I found her simple and modern writing style easy to follow. This is a fun, light romance novel perfect for getting in the mood for Valentine’s Day. My favorite part of the book was Rose McDaniels, the florist main protagonist. She had an enjoyably earnest and old-fashioned personality. If you’re looking for a sweet, whimsical, second-chance romance, then you’ll enjoy Heartbeats and Roses.

This is a second chance romance based in a small town which rivals Hallmark as a haven for the holidays and Valentines is no exception. Rose McDaniels is a florist with a wild and romantic imagination who organises a secret valentine event every year where she takes orders for special valentines and creates a special message with flowers for the recipient to find at a Candlelight Ball on Valentines night and who owns a cat called Sophie. Liam Bradley is a cardiac surgeon having a string of bad luck, he is being investigated over the death of a patient, his relationship is just going through the motions and his girlfriend is not happy that he isn’t going on holiday with her and instead for some unknown reason, has decided to take up the offer of an old school friend to stay in his AirBNB for a couple of weeks in the hometown which he left twenty years ago without looking back.
Rose is in her shop preparing for an upcoming wedding she has in a couple of days when her landlord comes in to ask her to give a key to the person who is coming to stay in the AirBNB that afternoon, Rose agrees amid her deliveries coming in. Unbeknownst to either Liam or Rose, they are about to meet again when it turns out that he is the one who she has to hand the key over to and she is still affected by him the same way she was at sixteen, but she is torn as he doesn’t seem to be the same person, he is all lines and edges now and cold at the same time.
As Liam settles into the apartment, he agrees to see his friend at eight and then heads out to walk his dog Hunter before the snow really started to fall, he was also reminiscing about the town and how much had and hadn’t changed since he had been here last, then his thoughts turned to Rose and how she hadn’t changed much either and how he regretted how he had left things the last time he had seen her and as he and his friend talk about old times and his family drama over a beer, the subject of Rose comes up again, as does the fact she is still single.The next morning, Rose is busy and has another delivery of some more flowers, but as she is sorting it all out, that is until Liam is woken up and challenges Rose about the time and why she organises them this early and it is at that moment that Hunter decides to get out of the apartment, into the shop and chase Sophie around while destroying the floral arrangements and breaking the glassware inside. As Liam takes Hunter back upstairs and Rose is panicking about the damage and how she doesn’t have time to think, never mind clean up the mess, but when Liam comes back down to help she demands that he leaves and as she is about to go towards him, she slips on the leaf slime covering the floor and land on her wrists and hits her head, there is an audible crack, followed by immense pain and Liam insists on locking up and taking her to the hospital. Unfortunately, it is the same hospital where his dad works and they bump into each other there, the reception is as cold as the weather outside, but as he takes Rose inside to fix her arm, Liam calls her family in to help.
This is a complete disaster for Rose, what with the wedding and Valentines coming up in less that two weeks and with her two assistants unable to help out, she call on them all to help her, Liam included and this is where they start to reconnect, but will they both come to the realisation of what they have, or will Rose be left heartbroken again? Can she muster up the courage to go through with the Valentines events knowing that romance is dead and that she can’t do the things she loves most with her broken wrist? The only way to find out is to read along and find out in the romance filled to the brim with hearts, flowers and love.

Meanwhile Bella is struggling to get the students’ enthusiasm up for that year’s musical, Little Shop of Horrors, especially when she knows it is the only thing standing in the way of the department losing all of its finding for the next year, to only be told that not only is she getting a student who is serving community service, but Cade Owens as well!
Now Cade has agreed to this community service he has to break the news to his manager and bandmates, but some are more accepting than others and he is trying to ignore the messages, phone calls and demands for new songs as much as he can, but between juggling that, being at the school twice a week and looking after his grandpa, he is wearing thin, but thanks to a kind neighbour, he is just about able to cope. So he starts to spend his tuesdays and thursdays at the school with the students and Bella, the atmosphere is purely professional around them and the kids who are thoroughly in awe that THE Cade Owens is helping out at their school, but Bella allows them to do the whole fan thing for a bit, then gets down to work with the student on community service in the AV and lights setups while everyone else works on their parts and on the set.
Will this unlikely duo be able to pull off the perfect musical and wow the school board, or will the life of a rockstar get in the way? Will they be able to keep their relationship purely professional, or will the love ritual bear fruit and lead to something more? This is a tale of romance, music and life changing decisions, but how it all ends is something you will have to read to find out.

Heartbeats and Roses (Hartwood Holiday Romance) by Jae Dawson was a cute small town romance read. I love Rose and her family. So much love and care. Liam was the ice to her sun and it felt like a true opposites attract. I loved the plot and pacing felt comfortable. I enjoyed the reveals and development by the end of the story.
Moonlight and Belladonna by Jae Dawson a fab four-star read. I read these out of order, but it didn’t make a difference to me, I enjoyed this one more as I knew the characters better. This one had more of a fun that the other story I read, and I engaged with the characters more, but it still missed something. I found some great characters in this story, some that will bring a special warmth to the story.

Heartbeats and Roses by Jae Dawson a flirty four-star read. This is such a sweet read, it may give you toothache, I think I enjoyed this as it was a rekindling and that always warms me up. The familiarity between the characters was a little too much as they just seemed to be too insular and it made it difficult to imagine you are there with them, and that is how I usually read and get into a story. Overall, it was good, and I do plan on reading more from this author to see if the more I get to know the style the more I will enjoy it.

Heartbeats and Roses: A Small Town Valentine’s Day Romance (A Hartwood Holiday Romance) by Jae Dawson was a great 5 star read.
If you like second chance romance you will get pulled into this story. Rose owns her own floral shop and she loves it. It has helped her move forward from her own heartbreak. Her favorite time of year is Valentine’s day when she has a special event.
Liam has returned home after an issue at work. He was forced to leave town years ago and he still has some feelings that need to be resolved from that night. The place he has rented for his stay is above a floral shop and brings him face-to-face with his past. He quickly realized how much he missed Rose and they started to get close again.
Will these two rekindle what they had in the past? Or will Liam’s current relationship get in the way?
Overall this was a great story. The author pulls you in with her writing and you won’t want to put it down. Both characters were great. My emotions were all over the place. You can read this as a stand alone. If you’re looking for a great romance read, 1-click and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this author.
