A very sweet holiday read. Kind of like eating comfort food. Hallmark fans-this one’s for you! Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for this copy for read and review

Sharon Sala’s Snowy Mountain Christmas is a sweet story about two lonely people who meet under initially disturbing circumstances. Reclusive writer, Trey Austin, is in Arkansas researching his next book when his car crashes during a severe storm. Our heroine, Marley Beaumont, is on her way back to Colorado after collecting old recipes to use at the mountain lodge she owns. All her life, Marley has had the ability to hear the voices of angels. When the angels urged her to turn left at the fork in the road, she listened to them, which led her to a car accident that allowed her to save Trey’s life. Marley stayed around long enough for the paramedics arrive. When Trey came to, he was determined to locate the woman who saved his life, but the only clue to her identity was the little red shoe she left behind. With the red shoe the only clue, Trey searched social media for elusive Cinderella.

This is a Cinderella-like story set during the holiday season that offers a little romance, a bit of mystery and suspense. Trey and Marley’s romance was adorable, and I loved the wonderful supporting cast as well. Snowy Mountain Christmas is a warm and cozy story about belonging, building community, and family. I highly recommend this book. It is perfect for the holiday season.

Thank you to Sourcebooks Casablanca, Sharon Sala and NetGalley for this ARC.

Trey is a solitary man, off on a road trip for inspiration in writing his new book until a GPS malfunction leads to an accident. Marley is alone too, an adult orphan searching for some new recipes for her family motel when a twist of fate, or a bit of heavenly intervention, leads her to the path of Trey. This meeting leads to an almost Cinderella-like search, that turns into an insta-romance when these two meet up in person. Unfortunately not everyone is happy that these two loners are getting together which launches into a climactic ending that had me cheering for strong women everywhere. Having read many books by this author I can honestly say I’m never disappointed. Ms Sala always provides great characters with strong main male/female leads and a whole slew of quirky supporting characters that are around to put a smile on your face and boy does this book deliver. It does have a spiritual twist with Marley and her angels but it falls perfectly into the Christmas theme. It is a sweet romance that is soft on spiciness, but with a bit of suspense, and action (I especially love the ending). I highly recommend this book for those looking for a quick and sweet romance, especially if you’re looking for one with a little holiday spirit. 5 stars. I received an arc copy of this book from NetGalley for my honest review. All thoughts are my own.

Sweet, wholesome, inspiring - in short, everything you could want in a Christmas story. I won't say that it was perfect, but it was very good. I felt that the writing kept me at a distance from the characters and their story, but that only slightly diminished the feel-good story for me. Sometimes we are born with a great family and sometimes we have to make one for ourselves, with a little help along the way.

Marley Corbett was on a trip to the Ozark hills of Arkansas when her Angels told her to take a different road. Marley had learned never to question these voices and this time she was in time to rescue a man who had been in an auto accident.

Trey Austin had no idea what had happened, but the voice of an Angel told him he was going to be okay, and that help was on the way. Later, in the hospital, he finds out that she left before anyone got her name leaving behind a single red shoe. That wasn't good enough for Trey who is determined to find her and thank her for saving his life. A nationwide search is launched for Cinderella.

Marley was so busy reopening her Colorado lodge after renovations that she wasn't paying attention to the internet, tv or the news. Finally, she sees the story and contacts Trey who drops everything to head to Colorado and his Angel. The attraction is instant and when they get snowed in, the seeds of true love are planted and grow. But there is no smooth road for these two. Marley has an enemy who is a bubble off center and Trey's relationship with his parents has left some deep scars.

My thanks to the Publisher and the Author for providing a complimentary digital Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of this novel via NetGalley. This is my fair, honest and personal review. All opinions are mine alone and were not biased in any way.

I usually really enjoy Sharon Sala’s romances, but this one was a bit too sugary sweet for me. Hailey is guided by the angels who, apparently, have been talking to her since she was a child, just in time to save Trey’s whose car has crashed in the middle of a snowstorm.

After having saved his life, she leaves the scene leaving behind her shoe. He posts about it on his social media and, eventually, hears from Hailey. He travels to visit her at the bed and breakfast lodge she owns in the mountains near Colorado Springs. They immediately fall in love with each other. He stays to get to know her and because of a snowstorm. He becomes friends with the couple who helps her out and her friends who come by for a cozy Christmas dinner. She bakes all sorts of tasty desserts. It’s all very sweet.

The only complications are the media who want more of the story of the handsome guy finding his own Cinderella. And then there are his snooty parents who think Hailey is after his family money. And there’s a villainous guy who is stalking Hailey. All these complications get wrapped up quite easily and then we return to Hailey and Trey telling each other how much they love each other. It was just too sweet for me without much character development or plot.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book that I received from Netgalley; however, the opinions are my own and I did not receive any compensation for my review.

loved Trey and Haileys story. Angels, families and angst what's not to love. a great holiday read by Sala. Maybe I will read more of hers.

A warm and cozy sorta Cinderella story where Troy searches for the woman who saved him and finds Marley. They do have an insta-love thing but they also work to build a relationship with each other and with those who surround them. Thanks to Netgalley for the aRC. Good storytelling and a positive outlook make this a good read.

Such a fun read! Highly recommend.

Many thanks to Netgalley, the author, and the publisher for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Trey Austin is driving through a torrential rain storm when he loses control of his car and goes off the road. The only thing he remembers is being rescued by a woman who braves the storm to save him. She disappears and no one know who she was but she did leave a shoe behind. He takes to the internet determined to find his Cinderella. When she responds to him they begin a journey to capture their happily ever after.

What would we do without the angels in our lives? Maybe we can’t see or hear them, but I believe they are there. I loved this story and the folks who play a part in it. This is Marley and Trey’s story. How perfect are they for each other? I didn’t want the story to end because I enjoyed being with them and their friends so much. I received this book from NetGalley, but my opinion is my own.

This book has a feeling of a Hallmark Christmas movie in the making. While that is honestly not for me, there is absolutely no denying that Sharon Sala writes beautiful stories. Marley has so much spunk and believes so strongly in the angels that speak to her. Those angels lead her to Trey and if ever there was a man in need of an angel it is Trey. Of course, it would not be a story if he was not the person she needed too. She may surround herself with friends who fill the role of family but she is an orphan with no siblings. He might as well be too for all the love his parent show. They don't even realize they are searching for something more until the angels bring them together. The angels may have needed a little help from a confused GPS and a thunderstorm.
I absolutely loved his searching for Cinderella story right down to the little red shoe. After that with the exception of a few secrets and a royal creep this book is about love at the most wonderful time of the year. The love story is beautiful and full of the feels. I would recommend when you read this book, you will need to have the tissues ready.
You will want to share this book with loved ones and friends so they do can read about the angels among us.
Thanks to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca for the opportunity to read this ARC.

I love reading books by Sharon Sala. There's never a dull moment in them. This book was really good. It had some suspense in it. It was also heart warming and romantic. I loved the ending. I'm grateful that netgalley and the publishers let me read this in exchange for an honest review.

This story is a very charming Christmas read. It is fun, sweet, a bit magical, with a dash of romantic suspense thrown in. Two strangers meet up by divine intervention, and then decide to make a life together. Usually I have a hard time with insta-love, but in this story it worked. Trey and Marley first meet when Marley saves Trey after he was in a car accident. He desperately searches for his savior (she took off without leaving her name), with only her shoe that had been left at the scene.
Once Trey and Marley meet they quickly develop feelings for each other.

Throughout the story you are introduced to the people who live in Marley's town and are her family. This story is as much about the care and love we have for the people who become our family as the love between Marley and Trey. Of course there are obstacles to overcome on the way to their HEA. Sharon Sala weaves an enjoyable, fun story with strong characters, and I definitely enjoyed spending some time with them.

Thank you to Netgalley and Sourcebooks for the ARC.

This book was a Christmas themed storyline that was fast moving. It had a lot of drama. It was basically about two lonely souls that come together and save each other, literally and emotionally.
Marley is a strong ,Independent woman who talks to angels. She has lost her parents several years ago and sometimes feels very alone in the world.
Trey is alone. He is an only child whose wealthy, social climbing parents abandoned him to be raised by servants and schools.
When the angels direct Marley to drive a certain direction, she comes across a car accident. She helps save the driver by getting him out of the car that was filling with water. When the police and ambulance arrive, she leaves without giving her name to anyone. The only evidence of her even being there was that she left a 👠 behind.
This leads Trey to start and internet search for her that goes viral.
When they finally meet it's instant love. And that's where I take off one star. I believe there is instant attraction but not instant love.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
I want to thank Netgalley for the opportunity to review this book.

Love love this author. She's becoming a favorite of mine. Her stories are heartwarming and lessons comes from these novels as well.
I love this Cinderella style of story without it it being overdone. What better way of trying to find something or someone that lost something?
Pretty good if I say so myself.
I couldn't put this delightful story down until Marley and Trey told me their story.
I really couldn't stand that reporter lady. In my opinion, she's way too pushy and one sided person when there's two sides to this story. I don't like people like that and neither did Marley.
5 stars from me for a very enjoyable read. Christmas is the perfect setting for this book lol.
It's my favorite season of the year!
Very well written. I wished it didn't end so soon!
My thanks for a well written message that left my heart feeling full and satisfied.
I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

I'll admit it up front--I'm a fan of Sharon Sala's novels, and her latest, Snowy Mountain Christmas, is another gem of a feel-good novel from start to finish, and aside from the location, it could easily have fit into her Blessings, Georgia series. If you're looking for a heartwarming holiday read, this is it, and it gets 5 stars from this satisfied reader.

Marley Corbett is driving home to Colorado from Arkansas, where she was collecting old family recipes to use at the inn she inherited--she's the fourth generation to run it. She drives right into a thunderstorm and is about to turn right at a fork in the road when one of her angels (yes, she's seen angels all her life) indicates that she should turn left. That's where she finds Trey Austin, who lost control of his car when lightning hit a tree right next to him. His car is off the road, lying on its hood, he's unconscious and trapped upside down and the water is rising--if tiny Marley doesn't do something and fast, he'll drown. She manages to get him out and up out of the ditch and calls for help--waiting in the freezing rain and trying to keep Trey out of the elements as best she can. When help finally arrives, and takes Trey to the hospital, Marley lets them take over, and is so cold and shocked that she returns to her car, unaware that she's left one little red shoe behind. And yes, this is most definitely a modern day Cinderella story, and I absolutely loved it.

Once Trey is back on his feet, he wants to thank the mystery woman who saved his life, but she left the scene before anyone found out who she was, so he takes to social media, looking for the gal who left her shoe behind, and his story goes viral, soon becoming a national obsession, but it's weeks and weeks of false leads until he finds her, and it's when he does that this Cinderella story just gets better and better--and that's even before Marley learns the secret he's been harboring for over a decade--and no, I'm not telling.

There's also some suspenseful moments in this novel as we discover that Marley has an evil, obsessed stalker who doesn't take no for an answer, and he's just waiting to catch her alone.

In addition, what a wonderful array of secondary characters Ms. Sala has created, and what a fabulous holiday read she's written. Told from multiple points of view, a literary device I've come to love, this is one sweet, charming, holiday romance, and I highly recommend it. Ms. Sala just might have you believing in angels too.

I read an advance reader copy of this novel. The opinions stated are my own.

Christmas, small town, heartwarming feels - must bring your own hot chocolate. A story of family, one loving and caring and one family who revolves around the adults. A story of hearing the angels speak, romance with a taste of Cinderella and a little intrigue. I absolutely adored how they had each others back, it wasn't just talk. A wonderful Christmas read to remind you of what family truly is all about. Thank you for the opportunity to received and advanced copy. I freely volunteer my honest thoughts and opinions. #SnowyMountainChristmas #SharonSala #SourcebookCasablanca #NetGalley

After a trip collecting local Ozark recipes, Marley Corbett begins the drive during a storm back to her Colorado lodge. Her longtime connection to angels directs her to save the life of Trey Austin from an auto accident. After waking up in the hospital, Trey discovers the only clue he has to his angel is the shoe she left behind. After returning home to Phoenix, he finds her through an online campaign. Trey ultimately moves to Colorado for her and tells her his secret identity as well as the neglectful upbringing he had. In spite of ...or maybe because of... Marley's and Trey's nonexistent/nontraditional families, their relationship blossoms quickly into one that is supportive and loving. They are on a fast track to being a couple with more moments to believe in each other. Is it too fast? Perhaps, but the relationship is one that both need and both will nurture as they become 'the one' for each other.
A charming Christmas read-
Thanks to Sourcebooks Casablanca, Sharon Sala and NetGalley for this ARC.

I love Sharon Sala's books and this one did not disappoint!
