Eliza Hayward and her daughter have arrived in a town two
hours from Boise, Idaho, where the wind sweeps between a
lake and the Redemption Mountains. The view is stunning,
but a bitter wind is blowing sleet in her face. Maybe this
wasn't the wisest time of year to take up a job offer in
Haven Point. There's worse to come...
SNOW ANGEL COVE is the latest book from an author I enjoy,
RaeAnne Thayne, and as I'd expect the challenges for her
leading female are fast to arrive. Eliza sees that the
hotel employing her has burnt to the ground. Fortunately
nobody was hurt, bar some smoke inhalation. Eliza and
young
Maddie are welcomed, but the hotel will be closed
indefinitely. She's quit their apartment and packed up
their life, so... now what? Would you believe the day
isn't over yet as a driver finds his SUV skidding on ice
and heading perilously fast towards the little family.
Aidan Caine, owner of a tech firm and a house at nearby
SNOW ANGEL COVE, is devastated to have struck a young
woman
with his rented vehicle. He calls 911 and does his best
to
help, including reassuring the child. Neither the town's
new lady mayor nor the police officer seem impressed by
Aidan. Although shocked himself, after sorting out the
legalities he slowly drives towards the local hospital,
determined to do the right thing. Eliza's not keen on
accepting his help however. What could she have against
him?
While this is a romance it is definitely family-friendly,
with hot chocolate and a Lights on the Lake festival, but
Aidan has been
hiding something - more than one something, which creates
tensions. I really admired SNOW ANGEL COVE for the busy
start and challenges piled onto Eliza. The story then
settles to a more personal exploration of the characters
around Christmas time. RaeAnne Thayne is skilled at
portraying her characters and inviting our participation
in
the story, so I hope to read many more stories from
RaeAnne Thayne.
New York Times bestselling author RaeAnne Thayne welcomes
you to Haven Point, a small town full of big surprises
that
are both merry and bright
Nothing short of a miracle can restore Eliza Hayward's
Christmas cheer. The job she pinned her dreams on has gone
up in smoke—literally—and now she's stuck in an
unfamiliar,
if breathtaking, small town. Precariously close to being
destitute, Eliza needs a hero, but she's not expecting one
who almost runs her down with his car!
Rescuing Eliza is pure instinct for tech genius Aidan
Caine.
At first, putting the renovation of his lakeside guest
lodge
in Eliza's hands assuages his guilt—until he sees how
quickly he could fall for her. Having focused solely on
his
business for years, he never knew what his life was
missing
before Eliza, but now he's willing to risk his heart on a
yuletide romance that could lead to forever.
