It's always fun to spend summer in Nantucket through Nancy Thayer's books, and just as enjoyable to get a glimpse of winter and Christmas on the island. Loved the characters and hope we get more of them in a future book.

A holiday love story between Christina -- the owner of a Nantucket toy shop -- and wealthy bachelor Andy whose father happens to be the grinchy landlord of Christina's shop. A pleasant read but not one of my favorites. While it had the requisite romance happy ending, the characters were fairly insipid and I felt absolutely no chemistry between the romantic leads! The best part of the story for me was "Wink," Andy's 9-year old niece. I'm afraid the rest of it was completely unbelievable and far too saccharine.

Boy, i hope a second book is in the works! I loved the setting, the characters and the story line. Love that as I read this book in the middle of summer, it made me feel like i was in a warm, cozy winter scene.

I thought this story was a bit too good to be true. It is a warmhearted tale with just a bit too much sweet, predictable, picture perfect moments.
Perfect read for those looking for a cozy holiday read.
Thanks to NetGallery, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read and review this book in exchange for my honest review.

I really like Nancy Thayer, but for some reason cannot get into her Christmas books. Maybe they aren't in depth enough for me. Cute little Christmas love story.

Let It Snow features four friends and business owners, who fondly refer to themselves as the Shedders. Their shops are in old sheds on the wharf on Nantucket. It's prime real estate, but without any amenities. Christina is a native islander who thrives on the Christmas spirit. She meets a precocious kid named Wink and the adventure begins. Nancy Theyer captures the magic of the holiday season and the accompanying emotions. The happy ending that follows is the best part of reading her books because all always turns out well.

Let it Snow is a winter treat! Nancy Thayer, who I look to for steamy summer reads, is able to bring warmth and comfort with her latest romantic drama. Watch love unfold during the busting holiday season. Fall in love with the cast of characters and Nantucket holiday spirit. The story will stay with you beyond the last chapter. 4 stars.

I love Nancy Thayer- first off. What I really liked about this newest book was that it was set in Winter in Nantucket. It was really fun to imagine the little town and who shows up through the Christmas Season. The ending was great and the twists and turns to get there were definitely worth this read!

This is a fun little Christmas read set in Nantucket. Christina owns a little shop and has crowds, and a little shoplifter, during the holiday shopping season. New relationships are always a possibility and while this story may be a little predictable, it was a nice read.

“Let it Snow” was a nice escape from everyday life. The characters came to life before me and I felt like I was there in Nantucket with them. A sweet romance and an easy read.

This is a holiday romance set in Nantucket. The descriptions of the town make you feel like you are there. The characters are charming and the story has a predictable happy ending. What more can you ask of a Christmas romance? I enjoyed this book and look forward to more by this author. Thank you to net galley for a copy.

Let it Snow is a sweet holiday romance. The storyline focuses primarily on the romance of Christina, a year-round resident of Nantucket, and Andy, a member of a wealthy family who is visiting his father who is now a year-round resident.

Christina and Andy meet through Andy’s precocious young niece Wink, who is struggling with her parents’ ongoing divorce. Christina has taken Wink under her wing, allowing her to “work” with Christina at her toy store. Andy is interested in becoming a “local” also, but is fighting the resistance of his father, a rather domineering and curmudgeonly patriarch.

Andy’s father recently purchased the buildings which house the buildings that Christina and her neighboring business owners rent for their shops. His father’s decision to significantly increase their rent, has created some difficulties for Andy and Christina.

As with most holiday romances, a resolution is eventually reached. While a HEA ensues, the romance between Christina and Andy seems to progress much too quickly to be believed, and while references to their intense chemistry are frequently mentioned, it really doesn’t come through to readers. This is a lovely story, but it may need a bit more work before being published.

Nancy Thayer's latest book, Let It Snow was a wonderful fun read. I couldn't have asked for more.
Nancy has such an ability for making a setting come to life. Christmas in Nantucket sounds like a perfect place to spend the holidays. Christina, a Toy store owner, is stocking her shelves and getting ready for the Christmas rush. She catches a precious nine year old Wink, trying to steal a sticker book. Instead of calling her parents or the authorities she gives the girl a job so she can pay for the stickers. After Wink has worked for her for several days, Christina learns Wink's grandfather is a multi-millionaire. There are several other characters that you will fall in love with. I found myself with tears in my eyes one minute and laughing out loud the next. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Random House Publishing through NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are my own.
