The perfect novella to get you in the holiday spirit. This is a quick and easy read that you will want to finish without leaving your seat (and easily succeed). I love Regent’s way with words and her character development. This novella is a feast for the heart and soul. Simply delightful!
4 Stars
Running in Snow: A Holiday Novella by Renee Regent is a super quick and easy read. The book is made up of two short stories set around Christmas and the New Year. I enjoyed both of these stories, and they were well written, but I wanted them to be longer, so I could fully immerse myself in them and find out more about the characters, backstories, and background information.
Noelle’s Promise
Noelle has some really bad memories which centre around Christmas- so she decided a very long time ago that she would never celebrate the holiday ever again. But with boyfriend Logan now a huge part of her life- she has agreed to spend Christmas with him, AND his family. She is anxious about it all, especially when the festivities cause her memories and issues to bubble to the surface. Things come to a head and escape seems to be her only option. But she soon realises that she will continue to be stuck in the past and unable to embrace the future until she faces/deals with her past.
A sweet story and emotive story!
Eve’s Hope
Eve has major issues with New Year’s Eve, as she considers it jinxed. The unluckiest night of the year for her. So, the best thing to do is batten down the hatches and stay home. But you know what they say about the best laid plans…
Circumstances soon have her accepting an invitation to her neighbor’s party- which she expects will be a flop. But is it? Will this be the New Year’s Eve that surprises her- the one that changes everything- the one that she will definitely remember?
Well worth the read to find out.
Looking forward more from Ms. Regent!
Thank you, Ms. Regent!

5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the two stories in this book. They will get you in the holiday spirit and are two sweet stories to read. They are romantic and will have you believing in the holiday spirit. One story will have you asking if your past define your future and the other if a holiday will be unlucky every year. I loved reading about the characters of Noelle and Eve. They are both characters that believe that their situation around the holidays will not change. Is that true? What does the future hold for Noelle and Eve? Read these novellas to find out. The stories did have my emotions going up and down as I was reading them. There are romantic moments and also heartwarming ones as well. Don’t miss out on two stories that you will not be able to put down until the end. I highly recommend reading them.
Running In Snow – A Holiday Novella by Renee Regent comprises of two very, very short stories that are easy to read but both are heart wrenching to some degree. One is set around Christmas eve and the other New Years eve. They are we written but I would have liked to see them as longer stories.
Noelle’s Promise
Noelle does not do Christmas but when she falls in love she tries hard. After fleeing a party she realises that she needs to deal with her past before she can move forward.
Eve’s Hope
Eve hates New Years eve, nothing ever goes right for her so a night in it is but when she answers her door it turns out that this may actually be a night to remember.
Running in Snow by Renee Regent is a collection of two Christmas novellas. If you like holiday romance the. I would say these are great books to read. They are short but sweet reads that are bound to get you in the festive mood.
I really enjoyed these books. I liked the fact that even though thy we were short it didn’t feel like the stories were lacking in anyway. The basis of them were great and I loved the main characters. Eve and Noelle were different to each other so it didn’t feel like a regurgitation of the same.
This was a great read and a brilliant way to kick start my festive reading.
Running In Snow: A Holiday Novella by Renee Regent. The first book is Noelle’s Promise which is about Noelle who hates the Holidays. This year she has promised her boyfriend Logan and his daughter Lily that she will spend the Holidays with them and their extended family. She actually does ok through the party until one family member gets a little loud and brings back bad memories from Noelle’s childhood. She runs out and leaves Logan, Lily and the other members of his family wondering why? In the second book Eve’s Hope, Eve doesn’t like Holidays either and of course this New Year’s Eve is no exception, her heat goes out. So against her better judgement she accepts her neighbors invite to his party. At least she gets to go to a warm house right? While she’s there she starts unloading on her neighbor. Will he think she’s completely insane? Read this sweet Novella to get into the Holiday spirit!
These are two sweet holiday romance stories. They will warm your heart and keep you reading to the end. The characters are connectable and I could relate to them. Eve feels she is not so lucky during the holidays and than you have Noelle whose past has influenced how she feels about the holidays. Is it possible that these two will overcome their feelings so have a merry holiday? I highly recommend this book, these two women will boost your holiday spirit.
