Bea Armstrong is not thrilled to have to spend a week with her family in Sherwood Forest, where they have run a school in her mother’s ancestral home for several decades. First, she’s broken up (again) with her longtime boyfriend, Adam, whom she can’t depend on. They also don’t seem to ever take seriously how well she does at her job as a local weather forecaster. And when she arrives, she’s dismayed to find Henry Fairfax, the nerdy scientist son of her parents’ old friends, is there too. Her parents have always loved him and imagined the two of them getting married. But he’s such a stuffed shirt — just robotic.
Then soon after she arrives, Bea finds out she’s been invited to interview for a national TV weather job. She’s excited but facing some issues: She doesn’t have a car; she doesn’t have interview clothes packed. The biggest problem is that it’s in Scotland, a six-hour drive away in good conditions — and it’s starting to snow.
Henry volunteers to drive her in his car, and Bea has no desire to spend all that time with him. But he’s helping, and she wants the job. So off they go. They end up at a lodge with an eccentric station owner who is conducting what’s probably the wackiest job interview of all time. Then they get stuck in a cabin while trying to get home.
All the while, Bea has time to get to know the real Henry, who’s not at all like she thought he was. In fact, he’s nice. And even a bit handsome. And he remembers all the time they spent together as kids and teens differently than she does. Hmmm…. Maybe there could be something there. Naturally, just as she starts thinking this, in walks her ex.
Let It Snow is a fun, sweet, clean Christmas romance. This year, I’m reading more than my usual number of holiday books, and it’s made the season feel brighter indeed. Yay for books! Beth Moran is now a writer I can depend on to deliver good stories that are clean reading too.
Rated: Mild. There is one use of moderate language and about 15 uses of mild language, as well as two uses of British (bl-) profanity. There is kissing but nothing else.
