I don’t normally read holiday themed romances but when I found out Dee Ellis was doing a whole series of novellas with holiday themes I had to give this one a try. It did not disappoint. It’s so hot it’ll melt the snow and your panties. It’s also sweet and smart and funny. Ellis delivers the heat just as I’ve come to expect from her Burn Series.
Snow Angel is book one in the Crystal Cove Holidays series by Dee Ellis. I’ve actually had this series for awhile now on my Kindle but hadn’t gotten to it. I thought this was the perfect time to jump in. This is a short, syrupy sweet, hot as heck book that is perfect to lift your spirits and heat up the temperature on a cold winter night!!!
Kris Nichols grew up with a wealthy family but not much love. He was expected to take over the family business but that’s not what he wanted. He wasn’t like his father or brother. Kris wanted to write romance novels but so far inspiration hadn’t hit him. But that all changed on that Christmas night when the carolers came to his apartment door and his eyes met hers. It was like an instant spark. He didn’t even know who she was but everything changed.
Emma Snow hadn’t intended on living in Crystal Cove. She was a photographer on a job. But she fell in love with the little community and stayed. Emma loved the holidays and had joined a group of carolers and was caroling in her building. As soon as Kris answered his door and their eyes met, it was like no one else was even there.
Kris soon learned that the beautiful woman lived right across from him in his building. He couldn’t seem to act on his obsession with her. But over the next year, they became friends and got to know each other. He touched her whenever possible and that spark just got brighter. It was now Christmas again one year later and Kris was done waiting. It was time to claim what was his.
This was super sweet and super hot. Kris and Emma didn’t waste any time making up for a year of fantasizing about each other. In a way, it was good they waited all this time. They had gotten to know each other so much better. While Kris’s writing has taken off with all of his inspiration living right across the hall, Emma is still trying to figure out what she wants. Of one thing she is sure of, she wants Kris.
This is one of those books that just makes your day a little better. It’s a quick read so you get to see how everything works out fairly quickly. These two were super cute together. I definitely enjoyed this little bit of holiday brightness.
I loved loved loved Emma & Kris’s story. I was all gitty reading right from the start the emotions Kris felt for her and the little things he would do just to catch a glimpse of her. As their story developed it just got sweeter and of course spicy too. I’m such a sucker for these HEA’s that I tested up from joy. Was such a wonderful holiday read. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.
A very merry Christmas indeed
Short, sweet with just the right amount of dirty. This one had me clutching my pearls a few times. Oh my. Lol. Kris and Emma have that ember that turns into a roaring fire. Excited to see all that Crystal Cove has to offer.
My Rating: 4.5 Stars
Told in Kris’ POV with the epilogue in Emma’s
Kris Nichols and Emma Snow…..
“Snow Angel” was adorable AND dirty at the same time. If you’re looking for a quick Christmas romance with a sugary sweet, innocent heroine, and an over-the-top, sexy, dirty talking alpha hero, I recommend this novella.
When Kris first sets eyes on Emma, he is instantly in lust. Love comes pretty quickly after that. Unfortunately, Kris was a bit insecure when it came to Emma. He was afraid he’d push her away if she knew the intensity of his feelings for her. Kris was not only in love with Emma. He was consumed by his feelings for her. So he pined for her nearly a year, keeping their relationship in the friend zone. Unbeknownst to Kris, Emma was just as consumed by her own feelings for him. Even though Emma was shy, unpretentious and started off a little demur, she soon became the go-getter. To Kris’ surprise and relief, Emma made the first move and took the kiss they both longed for, for nearly a year. Emma didn’t want to wait another minute. That kiss started a passion, a fire that couldn’t be doused. Kris and Emma were great together. Their intimacy was anything but tame. Those two couldn’t keep their hands off each other; getting down and dirty anywhere and everywhere. So, yes, this story may be sweet and fun but it was also Hot, hot, hot!
Can’t wait for the next book in the Crystal Cove Holiday series…..!
