My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance with a feel good festive feeling. Sienna Markum, a Paralympic skiers favourite time of year is Christmas, as she loves all the traditions, but most of all the time she can spend with her family. Sienna is training for the Paralympics in the hopes of winning Alpine gold, so is looking forward to a much needed break from training over the holiday period. Meanwhile, Connor Shoemaker, the bad boy of skiing, plans on continuing with his training for the Paralympics, and so has no plans for Christmas. Ever since a motocross accident took one of his legs, Connor had also lost his confidence. When the pair meet at training, Sienna is not happy as she was told that her training would be private, however, she soon starts to enjoy being with her new training partner.
When Sienna’s Christmas plans fall through it’s Connor who comes to her rescue, however, she has to decide if she’s willing to balance her training with a relationship. Connor, meanwhile, is hoping to regain his confidence on and off the slopes, and to also have a chance at love with Sienna. This was a lovely, heartwarming romance with great characters and a magical snowy setting, which kept me happily turning the pages. I loved the fact that the two main characters were Paralympic’s, and dealing with disability issues, as this is unusual in romances. The couple had amazing chemistry and I was hoping they would get their HEA, especially for Christmas!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I loved that Connor fell first, he is kind of a simp for her, paying attention to her competition color and her favorite wine. And I can’t believe he asked her to wait and get to know her better! So cute!! And their flirting is also very cute. Sienna’s mom is a total itch and her dad is a tool. I liked the pop culture references, they added a little fun and humor to the story. I also really liked that they both had different experiences/feelings about their legs, and how the author explored both the differences and similarities of losing a limb vs being born without one. Overall, very good holiday book!

Sienna is a competitive skier in the Paralympics. She has grown up knowing that one day all of her hard work will pay off in the form of a gold medal. When her controlling mother sets up extra training over the Christmas break to prepare for the upcoming games, she is anything but excited. Connor is known in the motocross community as a bad boy, until he has an accident that takes part of one of his legs. In order to reach that rush of adrenaline from his motocross days, he becomes a skier. Both are thrown together to train over Christmas break in a ski resort that is empty because it is being renovated. It’s just them, the slopes and their trainer. Will they be able to find a balance between love and competition? Or will one have to come before the other?

This was a quick, fun, Christmas read! I found the characters to be believable and likable. While I am not a skier, I found the story to not be too bogged down with skiing lingo. I was able to follow along with what the characters were talking about and enjoyed the emotional storyline. Sienna is used to her mother making decisions for her and it takes love to kind of wake her up to the fact that she can choose, too. I appreciated that Connor doesn’t make her choose him or skiing. He sees her for what she is and wants what is best for her, even if he isn’t part of it.

Wonderful, feel good contemporary romance just in time for the holiday season! I loved every bit of this story of two contending Paralympic athletes in skiing that are hot both on and off the slopes.

Sienna is definitely the ultra focused Paralympic skier who knows nothing outside of focusing on the Winter Games Gold. Everything around her is controlled by her mother down to every detail. When Conner comes aboard in training with Sienna and her coach for his Paralympic dreams..Sienna starts to question what does she truly want and does she want everything in her life to be controlled. As both Sienna and Conner peel the layers back and get to truly know each other on a deeper level than skiing….love blossoms and some demons are shed and let go….will Sienna and Conner go for gold in both love and skiing?

This story really pulled my heart strings…it made me smile and melted my heart on both characters back stories….this is truly a wonderful contemporary romance that just is filled with love, hope, joy and some Christmas magic….Happy Reading!!!

Sienna and Connor are both competitors for the Paralympics, but one wants a break, and the other wants to train. When they meet, more than training meets the eyes. You’ve got sports, love, Christmas spirits, and finding oneself again. It’s such a cute romantic story to cuddle and have tea! Please take a look and you won’t regret it! 🙂

This is a quick, Christmas romance! It’s so good and the characters are easy to love. It’s a look into the professional athlete world and it gives a taste of what it’s like to sacrifice everything to be the best. I love that Sienna & Connor compliment each other in a realistic way. This book made me want to take a winter getaway to the slopes!

Snow in Love is a cute winter romance story. Grab a blanket and a cup of coffee or cocoa, and curl up on the couch for a quick read. The progression of the story is predictable, but I still really enjoyed it. Connor and Sienna are professional skiers who meet at a private training at an abandoned lodge. I love the little details the author put into the story. Each character is well written with a back story and family connection. Sienna is at a turning point in her career and needs time to discover what she wants for herself and stop living for her mom. Connor is struggling to find himself again after an accident that claimed half of his leg. I love his brother Colby and how helpful he was, while still being a typical college boy. I look forward to reading more by this author. She has a way with words and the book is short but sweet.

Connor is no longer the playboy motorcross rider of his past…he is now a skier in the Paralympics. After an accident took part of his leg, he has needed to find a new way to fulfill the need for speed that lives within him. He seems to be almost as good on the slopes as he was on the track. So, when his coach plans a training session around Christmas, Connor shows up ready to work.

Sienna is the “golden girl” of the slopes…and she is only missing a gold medal at the Paralympics. When her mother cancels her vacation in lieu of another training, Sienna is wondering if there is ever going to be more to life that her overbearing mother/manager. She is less than thrilled to have to spend her favorite holiday training…and even less thrilled when she sees who she has to spend it with.

These two, on paper, are as different as can be. But, when the begin to really get to know each other, they find out that they just might be after the same thing. However, when Sienna’s mother steps in and once again makes decisions for Sienna, will Sienna ever be allowed to be happy? Will Sienna be able to take her future into her own hands finally?

This was a good story about a woman wanting more for her future and a man who’s past shadows people’s thoughts about. Each of the characters is good for the other and helps them grow in their own ways. I enjoyed their banter and Connor’s ways of making Sienna feel special. Overall, a good book that I was able to devour in one sitting.

Classic book of two athletes who go away to train. At first they can’t stand each other an then realize they really don’t know each other. Once they take the time an get to know each other, past the politics, rumors and glamour they realize they really do like each other. Sienna an Connor are a match made in heaven

I really enjoyed this romance. Its a perfect Christmas read. It is an enemies to lovers romance however I wouldn’t class Sienna and Connor as enemies. Both of them have had a lot to deal with in their lives so it’s made them act and respond the way they do.

Both are Paralympics athletes but they came to it from different ways. Sienna was born that way and over the years she has pushed herself to be the best paralympic skier around. She is a very focused and driver woman who won’t let anyone stand in her way.
Conner on the other hand lost his leg due to an accident, so he has the additional trauma of learning to live with this disability. Conner also used to be a bad boy, partying hard and different women every night. But that all changed after his accident. He is now trying to rebuild his life and career.

Neither Conner or Sienna are looking for romance or distraction but that is what the find when they are on deserted ski resort with just their coach.
As the couple get to know each other you can feel the push and pull as they feel each other out and push each others buttons.

The question is can they drop the images they have of each other in their minds to see the real person in front of them or will their pasts hold them back from taking a risk?

A couple things I love about this book. Firstly, the title is adorable. The cover is sweet too. It is a shorter story but told perfectly and smoothly. My attention was drawn in and held due to the nature of the wonderful story.

Secondly I love the storyline..skiing competitively. I don’t run across this subject too often. While there isn’t a ton of skiing in here it has some of the drama that goes along with being in a competitive sport.

Lastly the characters are wildly different from each other. They both are hot to trot and have large reputations. She is the Golden Child of skiing and he is the former bad boy of motocross. I felt there would be a lot of time spent on why they are in the Paralympics but it was more about the feelings these two felt and their lovely romance.

Overall it is a wonderful holiday and winter themed story. It is a lighthearted fun book to read on a cold day.

Snow In Love is a great Christmas romance novella that I really enjoyed reading. It was my first time reading this author so was unsure what to expect from this book. I’m glad I took a chance on it as it’s definitely worth a read.
Although short at 100 pages, the author manages to pack a great deal of content in to make it an enjoyable read that keeps you engaged from beginning to end.
I really enjoyed reading about the 2 main characters Sienna and Connor. Being the golden princess of paralympic skiing you’d expect her to be a bit of a dive, but she’s far from it. Connor was the playboy motocross rider before his accident and is now a totally changed man in many ways and I really engaged with his character as he tried to make himself a better person.
I have to admit that I really wanted to slap Sienna’s mother and give her father a good shake. My heart broke for how Sienna was treated.
This is a great Christmas romance and I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.

This was just the holiday romance that I needed to read to really get in the spirit of Christmas! I love the fact that this was a book about characters that are in the Paralympics and that it really gave insight into their preparations/thoughts about the competition. I have not read a book that highlighted characters that both are overcoming body differences compared to others. I found myself devouring this book on my breaks and lunches when I was at work. I even found myself wondering what would happen next in the story and daydreaming of different scenarios. I cannot wait to read more books by this wonderful author!!

Snow in Love is a delightful holiday romance. This is a quick read but a well-thought-out story. Sienna and Connor are one of those couples you want to see succeed. The two meet on the slopes, but immediately I wanted it to develop into more. The characters contrast each other nicely. I always enjoy a holiday romance story, and this did not disappoint. I recommend this book if you need a quick getaway and to get in the holiday spirit. I look forward to checking out more from this author in the future.

A fun holiday read that I finished in a day! The main characters are both athletes training for the Paralympics at a ski lodge that is closed for a remodel. Connor had to have a partial amputation after a motocross accident and Sienna was born with only a partial leg. They are thrown together to train over Christmas before the big race. Karl is coaching them on the slopes and they get to know each other in the lodge where they open up to each other and learn that they are more than their reputations. The lodge sounds like an amazing place to escape, spend a holiday, and cozy up around the fire. The characters are both struggling to find themselves and are not sure if they can trust each other but there are sparks from the first meeting. I will be looking at more from the author because I loved the quick read!

This was such a lovely Christmassy read and one that I really enjoyed. It was really well written and engaging. I loved the characters Sienna and Connor, they both had their own issues to overcome but also something in common that brought them together. They really did have a genuine connection. I really did feel this genuine connection with the characters and I really came to care about them – I genuinely was rooting for them the whole way through. I felt for Sienna at times with her overpowering Mother.
Overall this was a lovely story and one that I would highly recommend. I will definitely be looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future.

A perfect short story for Christmas time. I love Conner and Sienna together! And I love that this book is centered around the Paralympics. This book has the perfect amount of drama, romance and sweet and funny moments. Sienna’s mom is super annoying and really got to me, I was glad to see Sienna stand up for what she wanted. Both Sienna and Conner didn’t let their missing limbs stop them from going after what they wanted and living their lives to the fullest. Conner had to work at accepting his new life as an amputee, Sienna was born that way, and I think the way she embraced it helped Conner to not be as self conscious about his.

I was hooked just after a few pages and read it in one sitting. I was engaged from beginning to end. I really enjoyed the characters. The story was cute.
This is honestly the perfect read to curl up by the fire with a mug of Hot Cocoa and snuggle under a cozy blanket.
The story was short, but it was honestly perfect, nothing felt rushed or dragged out.
So if you are looking for a holiday themed read, this is a great one.

I really enjoyed this book. Connor our motocross champion and Sienna the downhill skiing Golden Girl. The paralympics are coming soon and both are training their hearts out at the same closed resort. Kurt the coach has kept it on the down low that Connor is there training as well. Sienna’s mom would lose her cool if she knew.

Sienna has had every move she makes planned and monitored during her entire skiing career, she is now starting to wonder what else is out there for her to enjoy and explore.

Connor lost his leg just below the knee in a motocross accident. He is missing the speed and is looking at downhill skiing to fill that void.

Will these two put animosities aside or will it come between their dreams.

This was a fast-paced, romantic, holiday novel. Connor and Sienna are Paralympians training for an upcoming race. Each are dealing with their own complexities in life, but are determined to train. They each only know each other from stories they’ve read in the press.
When they take the time to talk, Connor and Sienna realize there is more to each other than meets the eye. Their relationship blossoms in the short time they are together bonding over Christmas cookies, hot cocoa and holiday movies.
This was a very entertaining read, and I was hooked from beginning to the end!

Snow in Love by Libby Kay is a short and entertaining contemporary sports romance set during the holidays. It is my first read by Libby Kay, so I was curious to see what I would find between the covers. It turned out to be a sweet and spicy story featuring a bad boy and a golden girl, Paralympians focused on their winning gold, never expecting to win something far more valuable. Well worth the read to find out how these two opposites attract and find love unexpectedly.
Christmas. Spice. Emotion. Sports. & plenty of Fun!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Libby Kay!

Snow In Love was cute. I enjoyed the Roma ace between the Golden Girl and the Hot Rod ladies man. I really enjoyed reading about Connor. He was more than what met the eye. Although his accident was awful and it felt like he lost apart of himself, it also helped him find out who he really wanted to be. Although I liked Sienna the childish outburst and tantrums she had kind of annoyed me. I understand that she was sheltered and her profession took over her life but she was around 25 (I think). She could’ve tried to sit her mother down and had a conversation. Anyways, that didn’t take away from the book though. The stark contrast between Karl and Vlad was interesting. Each coach wanted to bring out the best but Karl nurtured it while Vlad tried to bring it out through fear. I do recommend this book for romance lovers.

I love this book so much! I knew I was going to love it after just reading a few pages! I love a good Christmas romance and now I’m getting even more into the holiday spirit! Connor and Sienna are perfect for each other! Connor was in a terrible accident and his life changed forever. Sienna was born the way she is and that doesn’t stop her from achieving everything she has wanted! But when her mother makes her feel more like an object than her daughter/human being…it makes sienna realize she wants something else in life. A life of happiness and freedom. Connor and sienna meet at a ski lodge around the holidays and at first they teased one another but it turned into something more than they ever thought. Short read and I loved every page!

I really liked the match up of Connor and Sienna. Both had something to offer the other in a relationship no one saw coming. Sienna was hoping for a break but her mother cancels her vacation and demands more training for the Paralympics. Reluctant, she attends a semi private training session at a vacant hotel and meets former Motocross bad boy, Connor, who lost his own leg in a crash. The two shouldn’t have commonalities, but the more time they get alone, the more the attraction develops. The Paralympic angle is nice and shines an eye on a sport we don’t often talk about. Nice and quick read that gives you a feel good ending.

Connor and Sierra are two skiers at a local lodge meeting up to train. Poor Sierra feels like a brand and all she wants is to feel like a woman. Connor is coming to terms after losing his leg in a motocross accident. This is a beautiful romance written in such a way that you feel their pain and the emotions felt as they come to terms with trying to make this relationship work. Even the antagonist, Beverlly, Sienna’s mom, is a bit of a troublemaker but you still feel for her. I enjoyed the story. It was a fairly quick read with a simple plot. Quite entertaining with a little fun in there. You root for Conner and Sierra. A quick Christmas read that would make a great read for those snowy nights by the fire with hot cocoa.
