There has never been a book written by Brenda Novak that I
haven’t enjoyed. When Snow Falls is book two in her Whiskey Creek series. Well
known for her place in the romantic suspense genre the Whiskey Creek series is
her foray back into contemporary romance. After having been pleasantly
delighted with the first book When Lightening Strikes, I naturally was ready to
jump right into When Snow Falls. When Snow Falls has been written in such a way
that allows you to watch this romance blossom into a full bloom.
When Snow Falls is Cheyenne and Dylan’s story and so very
different from Gail and Simon’s story whom we met in When Lightening Strikes. Cheyenne
Christensen cannot remember when it has ever snowed in Whiskey Creek, but she
can remember the she has to take care of her dying mother Anita and her on
again off again drug using older sister Presley to care for. When she begins
having recurring dreams of a fancy child hood and a mysterious blonde woman,
Cheyenne begins to question where she comes from. On top of all her other
problems Cheyenne has been in love with Joe since she was fourteen years old,
but she is not the only one who has feelings for Joe. When her best friend Eve announces
that she has asked Joe to go on a date, Cheyenne steps aside out of respect for
her friendship. Dylan Amos and his brothers come from the wrong side of the tracks.
When Dylan makes a proposition that Cheyenne finds difficult to refuse,
Cheyenne discovers an attraction to the kind of guy she’s always tried to avoid
and discovers that Dylan just might not be as bad as he’s been rumored to be.
As this romance begins to unfold her first love enters into the picture; torn
between her first love and the bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks
Cheyenne finds herself having to choose between the two.
I loved this book, however early on I found myself reverting
back to the cover blurb to find out if I had read the names wrong as we don’t
meet Dylan until a ways into the book. The only man we meet early on is Joe,
and you really begin to think the story is a romance between Cheyenne and Joe.
However once Cheyenne and Dylan eventually meet this book soars and meets all
expectations of a Brenda Novak tale. I had a hard time putting this one down,
it is filled with emotion that makes you just want to cheer these two lost
souls on. When Snow Falls was well
written and will tug at even the coldest of heart strings. I cannot wait for
the next books in this fantastic series. It is easily a 4.5 star book.
