Christmas in Snow Valley is the perfect way for April Winston to introduce her city slicker fiance, Scott Mecham, to life on a farm. If only Wade Hadley, hometown boy and high school sweetheart, will cooperate! But Wade has no intention of letting April go without a fight. This Christmas, he is determined to overcome their painful past and show April that she already has what she’s been seeking all along.
My two-bits:
This is another romance novella from the Christmas in Snow Valley collection.
In this one there is a some love triangle action with a city vs. country kind of vibe.
I liked the peek into farm living where this story is set.
Nice touches of the christmas spirit are sprinkled throughout this story.
Excerpt:
Wade stopped abruptly and she almost crashed into him as he turned to face her. The urge to wrap her arms around his waist was so strong it left her aching and breathless. She took a few steps back to put some distance between them and for a long moment they stared at each other.
“You can’t marry him,” Wade finally said.
Her throat was dry and her heart pounded in her ears.
“I mean it, April. I still love you. And you still love me – I can see it in your eyes.”
She took a shaky breath, trying to think, trying to sort through the emotions crashing through her. What was nostalgia and what was real?
“Well?” he pressed.
“Please, don’t do this,” she pleaded.
“Why?”
“Because I can’t … I don’t know how to respond to that.”
“Yes, you do. You still love me, don’t you?”
All she had to say was no. No, Wade, I don’t love you anymore. He would go away and she could go back to her life, back to Scott, and pretend none of this had happened.
I don’t love you anymore.
She looked into his brown eyes. “I still love you,” she whispered.
