I loved this book! 5/5 for sure. I downloaded and read it so fast. I love the way the author represented disabilities and the struggles had by their caretakers but also the love they shared.

Love this Heartwarming and heartbreaking read. RaeAnneThayne has a hit for sure. Characters are tender and engaging. Feel good read. I was given an advanced reader copy of this very well written book by NetGalley and I am freely sharing my review. #netgalley @netgalley #raeannethayne @authorraennethayne #harpercollinspublishers @harpercollinspublishers

This is a cozy book to put you in the holiday mood. Holly is a single mom who owns a flower shop. The holiday season is made even busier with designing flowers for her ex-SIL's wedding, having to face her ex, preparing her daughter to be the flower girl, and conjuring up a fake relationship with a man named Ryan in order to have a date to the wedding and show her ex-husband that she is back in the game.
The story is predictable which is absolutely fine for a feel-good read. Some of the conversations were a little unnatural, saying things like "I'll use the navigational system on my phone to give me directions..."

Snow Kissed is a lovely holiday read. A perfect book to curl up with decorated Christmas cookies, a cup of hot tea, a toasty fire in the fireplace and a few hours away from the hustle a bustle of the season to escape into Holly's life. Running her florist shop. Raising a daughter with special needs and living a life after her cheating husband was out of the picture.
I really enjoyed this story. RaeAnne Thayne has again written a wonderful holiday book.
Five stars from me and my thanks to #NetGalley and #HarperCollins Publishing for the opportunity to early read.

This was a solid read and I overall enjoyed the story. I did find Holly to be too nice and she should have put her foot down to protect her daughter from the ex more. He was a total douche and should not have been forgiven and forgotten so easily. I hate women who give men power by always being nice.

I liked Ryan and was glad to see his growth.

Snow Kissed Honest ARC Review:

4.5⭐️
This is wonderfully written, heartwarming and one you don’t want to miss! I really enjoyed reading this and think it’s the best yet from RaeAnne Thayne.

Holly is a single mom looking forward to her favorite season of the year, Christmas. Her daughter Lydia is hoping to act as flower girl in an upcoming wedding with her extended family.

The wedding is for Holly’s ex- sister in law and Holly rsvp’d that she would have a date for the wedding. There is only one problem. Holly does not have a date or a significant other at the moment and the wedding is quickly approaching.

Cue the charming, handsome friend’s brother. This was entertaining, heartwarming and an overall fantastic story.

Thank you so much Net Galley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for sharing this ARC. It was great!

RaeAnne Thayne can always be counted for a warmhearted, family read and Snow Kissed is no exception! I loved this cozy read. Holly and Ryan made great main characters and the other characters from the town were wonderful. You can read this book as a stand alone with no problem, by the other books in the Shelter Springs series are great, too. I love when you read a series and you come across characters you've been invested in from other books and get glimpses into their lives. This book is great - cozy setting, realistic people, and lots of heart.

Another cozy, feel good Christmas romance that left me ready for the holiday season. I loved seeing Holly find herself again, with the help of Ryan and two precious little girls. I can’t wait to reread this book on a cold, snowy day!

Books by RaeAnne Thayne never fail to put a smile on my face and warmth in my heart. And this book does just that - a wonderful storyline and characters that bring the spirit of Christmas to life. The book touches on some tough subjects but is handled with grace, empathy, and realism. I appreciated the way a special needs child was front and center in this book in a touching, not exploited, manner. The second chances were everywhere in this book and while expected, the happily-ever-afters made my heart happy. This book will put you in the Christmas spirit no matter what time you read it, for as we know, that Christmas feeling can be celebrated year round. I received an ARC in exchange for my review. Many thanks to the Author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity. I anxiously am awaiting the next book - hopefully set in Shelter Springs!

This book was really good. It got me in the Christmas spirit, which is why I love reading Christmas books all year. It was heartwarming, romantic, and emotional. I thought Lydia was adorable. I look forward to reading the next book that RaeAnne Thayne writes. I'm grateful that Netgalley and the publishers let me read this in exchange for an honest review.
