I loved how relatable the characters were for me. I was filled with emotions and hope. It was a great way to start the Christmas season.
A lovely Christmas story with a sweet romance, author Davalynn Spencer has done a good job of making her characters come to life in a town you’ll want to visit.
This novella takes on subjects that aren’t easy but are handled gracefully. And who doesn’t love a Christmas story that even contains….an angel?
Seriously, if you’re looking for an enjoyable Christmas tale with a damsel in distress and a hero, then look no further. Pour yourself a mug of hot chocolate and enjoy Snow Angel.
I received a complimentary copy of this book but was not required to leave a review.
A delightful short story that will satisfy you for a long time
When I saw the title of this book, I didn’t even think twice about reading it. Snow angels are fun and harmless, right? I didn’t even read the summary being as I have enjoyed other books by this author.
I was a little nervous, though, as I read the Prologue. Four-year-old Lena was obviously going to get herself into some serious harm and as I read it, I was thinking “oh no! Don’t go there! Just don’t do it!” And I’m happy to report that the story was everything it should be and never once did it even hint at bad doctrine concerning angels. And really, if I had read the synopsis, I would have known that I was worried for no reason.
Snow Angel was delightful! Even hours after I finished it, I am still smiling at this wonderful story.
Tay was an incredible big brother who loved so unselfishly. Though it was never specifically expressed, it was inferred that his motivation for becoming a doctor and surgeon was because of what happened when he was 10 and Lena was 4.
Lena was pretty incredible. She assisted her brother in his practice and cared for their home. I don’t think she really complained, even though they were fairly poor due to her brother’s generosity in doctoring with no thought of payment. And the incredible things she did because they were what she needed to. She also had such a heart for serving her neighbors – even those who were mostly unlovable.
One of the things I loved about the story was the natural way the author introduced period-specific tidbits in such a natural way. If it wasn’t for the fact that the things she was talking about are so unnatural to us today (such as being amazed at “an entire room devoted to washing bodies and clothes”), I wouldn’t have even realized that a historical thought was being shared. It was written in such a way that made it easy to get immersed in the setting.
With a sweet message of hope, sacrifice, and love, Snow Angel was touching and fun. And if you look very carefully, you’ll see the story come full circle with the mystery of Lena’s rescuer explained in a most unexpected way.
This Christmas novella is one you will not want to miss!

This is a wonderful heartwarming Christmas story. Once you start reading you don’t want to stop. The way Davalynn Spencer writes makes you feel like you are there, you feel all the emotions and can see the story unfold in your mind. Grab this book and a cup of hot cocoa and settle back for a very enjoyable read.
Another wonderful and beautiful story by an author I’ve only read one other book and she is quickly become a favorite author as well.
This beautiful Christmas story had my heart from the first few pages and kept it until the end. We all need this kind is love in our lives and just as Christmas approaches in this story, it couldn’t have been better.
Loved every bit of this amazing story. Thank you Ms. Spencer for the two beautiful stories I have now read.
Both these stories are together in a Christmas book set. Both sweet novellas about love, romance, and many things in beautiful Colorado where I also call home for the last thirty and a half years. I highly recommend both this story and Just In Time for Christmas.
Both are together in a two story boxed set called A High- Country Christmas:Romance Collection-Inspirational historical Christmas Romance (Series:High- Country Christmases)
Lena doesn’t think anyone will want her. Like many of us, she sees her faults and not her gifts. She is kind, patient, and selfless.
This was a beautiful story of how one woman found love and acceptance of her perceived flaws. A good lesson that we are all worthy regardless of our flaws!
Snow Angel is a beautifully written historical fiction with a rugged cowboy, Wil, who is brutally beaten. A young woman, Lena, who was wounded as a child and still carries the pain from her childhood helps her brother, the doctor, take care of the sick in their home. While her brother is making house calls Lena tries to help Wil heal or does this cowboy help her heal? Also, the mysterious stranger who shows up to help Lena as a child. While I was reading I often wondered if the stranger would show up again or will I ever know his name. Great writing Davalynn Spencer you kept this reader glued to the story with just enough mystery flowing from the beginning to the end. God’s presence was weave throughout this book. These characters were fantastic and Davalynn made me feel as though I was standing amongst them. Snow Angel made me feel peace in my heart. I want my heart and hands to be like Lena’s, a giving heart and helping hands.
Readers, Snow Angel will be a Christmas book to read every year or any season of the year. I’ll be reading it over and over!!!!
I received a copy of Snow Angel from the author. This review is my honest opinion.
A lovely, heartwarming and romantic Christmas tale. A good book for curling up with in a cozy corner.. Wonderful characters. And Davalynn has such a way with words. She paints an enchanting picture that draws you right into the middle of her story.
This was a delightful tale! The Doctor’s sister thought she’d be a spinster because of an injury as a child that caused her to lose a few fingers. She never let the disability stop her from anything except the possibility of love! Her patient sees the real her and I loved how he was patient with her. Showing her how he saw her worthy and needed!
I enjoyed the narrator’s voice for every character except Lina. It just didn’t match her personality it me.
I didn’t really see the reason for the mystery man to even be in the story. I don’t see how it adds anything.
