How Snowball Stole Christmas

I love Snowball’s sweet and sometimes hilarious efforts at matchmaking

This was a sweet swoony Christmas romance which includes three dimensional characters who grow, witty dialogue, an engaging storyline, and low angst. Peter is ex-military who now is a bookstore owner following a career ending head injury and coma. Lara is a toy maker opening her first brick and mortar shop at Weber Haus. Not knowing Lara was the one who outbid the bookstore for the rental space where the toy shop will be located, Peter writes a number of unsupportive messages on the town forum website about the new toy shop. While there is instant chemistry between the Lara and Peter, neither of them is interested in a relationship. Lara, because she’s wants to focus on her new business and Peter because his head injury makes him grumpy and he’s not sure he’s relationship material anymore. But fate and a fluffy white cat step in to force these two soulmates to spend time together repeatedly. The journey to their HEA is a gentle roller coaster ride that will give you all the feels as they each work through their own issues. Rounding out the cast of main characters and one whose POV helps to tell the story is Snowball, a white cat who has a lot of opinions on the behaviors of the humans at Weber Haus. Seeing the story from Snowball’s POV is a unique twist and adds quite a bit of humor to the story. Especially Snowball’s indignance at the humans for consequences that directly result from her choices. This story and series by Kristen McKanagh is well worth a read especially curled up on a snowy day by a fireplace. I willingly reviewed an early copy of this book.
