Snowy Mountain Christmas

Reviewed by Sandra Wurman

Romance Holiday

A picture is worth a thousand words. Sharon Sala has a way with her words. They are revealing. Sharp angst-filled at times illustrating harsh moments or feelings. Smooth as glass illustrating calm and love. SNOWY MOUNTAIN CHRISTMAS is a work of art that this author dug deep to create. Surely it centers on the season but that is not crucial to most of the story. Trey Austin was saved by the action of a total stranger. Marley affectionately called Ladybug or just plain Bug by those who love her, is firmly vested in her lodge built and run by four generations. Marley’s life is securely attached to this lodge and place she has always called home. Trey, on the other hand, seems to have had no real place to ever call home. So very opposite but both so incredibly good.
 
Suspend disbelief and just enjoy a delightful romp in the snow with a sprinkling of pixie dust and fate perhaps. And since this is a Sharon Sala story the requisite amount of mystery and suspense. An equal number of good, bad, and indifferent characters fill the roles in this love story. What to wish for the holiday.
 
Trey writes mystery novels, bestsellers of course. The parallel to Sharon Sala is not missed and was actually a moment for some chuckles. But when Sharon Sala writes a paragraph about dealing with uninvolved parents her true nature is exposed. The reader is invited to move along with reactions to the words on each page. Nothing really momentous but with lasting memories.
 
Being snowed in provides Marley and Trey lots of time to get to really know each other. Any secrets and regrets exposed. Trust and love the prize. My shelves, both wood and cloud, are filled with stories told by this extraordinary teller of tales. I love a good mystery and a nail-biter as much as romance. With Sharon Sala sometimes you get a comfortable mixture of both. And in SNOWY MOUNTAIN CHRISTMAS you certainly do. If you are a believer in fate then Marley’s character will definitely speak to you. Trey’s life has been an empty vessel of failure to comply with family expectations. Love comes in all shapes and sizes. SNOWY MOUNTAIN CHRISTMAS beautifully captures the essence of don’t judge a book by its cover.

SUMMARY

Christmas is a great time to be snowed in with the woman who saved your life in this heartwarming, small town holiday romance from New York Times bestselling author Sharon Sala.

One minute, Trey Austin is driving through torrential rain; the next, he's being rescued from a car wreck by an angelic woman with the courage to brave the storm. Her face was the last thing he saw before he lost consciousness. No one got her name—but she lost one shoe stuck in the mud. It's Trey's only clue, so he takes to the internet, hoping against hope that he'll find his angel.

Just when he's almost given up, Trey gets a message from Marley Corbett, owner of a cozy bed and breakfast in Colorado, and he instantly knows he's found her. Without hesitation, Trey heads to the mountains to meet Marley just in time to spend an unforgettable Christmas snowed in with his dream girl, who, when finally in front of him, is even more special than he remembers.
