A snowed-in mountain inn holiday romance for a pair of relative strangers is just the sort of Christmas savory I enjoy. I’m on friendly terms already with Sharon Sala’s snug and cozy contemporary romances from her Blessings, Georgia series so I was delighted to take up this festive, heartwarming standalone.

Trey goes off the road during bad weather and would have died in the accident if a woman hadn’t cut him free of the seat belt and drug him to safety. The loner feels a spontaneous connection, but is disappointed to discover that he has no name, but just a lost shoe from his rescuer. His social media campaign efforts catch like wildfire and the woman herself eventually responds leading him to her Colorado mountain inn and a Christmas he’ll never forget.
Marley’s had some troubles, but when her guiding angels leader her down an alternate road to save a fellow traveler, she willingly goes. She doesn’t stick around and misses the early inquiries while her inn is undergoing renovations. But, she catches sight of the guy’s quest and is amply rewarded for responding when the attractive stranger shows up on her doorstep as good as a wrapped gift.

Trey’s not had good luck with family and hides his writing career. He’s been content to live an isolated existence so is a bit overwhelmed that he’s making this connection with Marley. Marley’s something of his opposite and has her found family and friends as wells as a call it like she sees it attitude going for her, but she’s also got someone out to get her which keeps. The quick connection and romance between the pair is sweet, but I liked how this bit of suspense added some tart tones to give all the sugar some balance.

Not trying too hard and great for a simple relaxing holiday romance escape to read during the hectic season. Sharon Sala’s characters and setting were charming and the romance had a little spice with the sweet. One for contemporary holiday romance fan’s book stack.

This book was a great read! The story had a great pace and the characters were well developed. It was very easy to get sucked into the story and in just a few sittings, I was done reading the book!

Lovely book of people discovering each other after a chance encounter. A fun Christmas story with some poignant characters, twists and quirky secondary characters. A fun read anytime of the year!

If you're looking for a good holiday romance with mystery, angels, and finding your person, then check this one out.
Marley has always spoken to angels and they've never led her wrong. Trey, who has had a lonely life, finds his angel.
How they came together was very creative and sweet.
I liked that Marley had her own identity and Trey folded into her life. They both were lonely and became each other's person.
I also approved of the handling of Trey's parents--that ship had sailed.
It's a nicely wrapped story to find under your tree.
Oh yea and the villain gets what's coming!!

Snowy Mountain Christmas is a sweet and entertaining Christmas love story.

Trey Austin is on his way home from the Ozark Mountains when rainstorm hits the area. When lightening hits a tree Trey swerves to avoid the debris, his car ends up in a ditch which endangers his life.

Meanwhile, Marley Corbett is also on her way home and hears her angels guiding her to help Trey. She manages to rescue Trey while he is unconscious and calls 911 for help. Once they arrive feeling as if she is no longer needed, she leaves and returns home after leaving a red shoe behind.

After Trey recovers enough to return home, he decides to find his "Cinderella" and posts on the internet to see if anyone can help him. As can be expected he gets many replies hoping to be Cinderella.

Late one evening Marley see his plea which has captured the media and reaches out to Trey. This will be the start of a new adventure for them both.

This is a wonderful and entertaining love story. I thoroughly enjoyed this book with its well written descriptions that made me feel as if I was there as an observer. This is a fun and easy afternoon read for the holidays.

Snowy Mountain Christmas by Sharon Sala 4 stars

A small town holiday romance from Sharon Sala with a light religious undertone in keeping with the seasonal theme. A play on Cinderella, Trey Austin is in a car accident and is rescued by Hailey Beaumont. Hailey disappears when the first responders arrive and all that’s left is her shoe. Trey launches a internet search for his “Cinderella”. He finds his “Cinderella” to be an independent B&B owner with plenty of sass to go around. Love ensues and while there are obstacles (including the obligatory villain) a happy ending is a given. I enjoyed this novel, it was a quick read once I sat down with a cup of hot cocoa.

Thank you Netgalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for this ARC.

Marley didn't intend to be a hero. But, when she came across a car accident while traveling through the mountains, she felt she had to stop. With no other help nearby, it was up to her to help the driver.

Trey Austin woke in the hospital with only a vague memory of his accident and the voice of his rescuer echoing through his mind. He has no idea who she is. She left the scene while the first responders were concentrating on his injuries. The only clue to her identity - one muddy, red shoe she lost in the mud at the scene of the accident.

In an attempt to find his missing savior, he posts a letter to social media in the hopes his Cinderella might see it and identify herself.

Perfect for the season, this is a story of two people living a lonely life, but not really searching for more. Their first meeting is unconventional. Despite this, Trey feels a strong need to find the angel who saved him. I loved the emotion of the story, could feel the connection the first time Trey and Marley met in person. Add to that an undercurrent of suspense from an old acquaintance who won't accept Marley's lack of interest in a relationship and family drama in the guise of Trey's parents who never really took an interest in the child they bore. This was a sentimental story, full of sensitivity, compassion and holiday cheer.

What better time is there than Christmas to write about angels. This story is a great holiday read and has all the emotions that you look for in a Christmas story. It grabbed you right at the start and kept your interest all the way through. A great book to read on a snowy night during the holiday season.

*4.5 stars*

Wrap yourself in all that is good about humanity at Christmastime…

This author knows how to touch my heartstrings and Trey and Marley did just that. With a helping hand, Marley did the unbelievable and saved Trey’s life. The search for his rescuer led him to everything he hadn’t known he wanted. Or deserved…
With all the drama and emotion I craved, I loved the fairytale aspect and how it played out. Nothing like bringing a modern twist to it with family and relationships that are so easily relatable. This was such a great read, I curled up and didn’t stop until I read it all.

I remember a favourite movie quote where relationship that start in “intense situations” rarely last. Well, I think these two will make it…
I may have already reread their story (a few times lol). Who wouldn’t want more love and hope no matter the time of year…

Snowy Mountain Christmas by Sharon Sala ⭐⭐⭐⭐

A great holiday read with a twist. Social Media to the rescue when looking for someone. Will Trey find a way to save a damsel in distress.

This was a cute clean romance that takes place during the holidays. Trey is traveling down a backroad during a severe thunderstorm when he has a wreck. Marley is also traveling down the same road when she comes upon the wreck and saves his life. Once he is healed he starts a search for the unknown woman who saves his life. I don’t want to give away the rest of the book but there are several things that happen that could prevent their HEA.

Trey meets Hailey when she rescues him from a car accident, then he tracks her down thanks to social media. But someone is out to get her and can Trey save her this time? A great read, I like how it told from various points of view.

SNOWY MOUNTAIN CHRISTMAS has a very unique storyline. Trey puts a story out on social media about finding the woman who saved his life and soon he becomes known as The Cinderella Man. Sharon Sala digs deep into the lives of her characters and delivers an emotionally amazing read. She knows how to write about family drama, heartbreak, and forgiveness. I can not wait to read more by this wonderful and heart-tugging author. Knowing I have many of them to read brings me so much joy and happiness to know they are waiting for me! She has the most beautiful covers! Check them out!!

Trey Austin is driving through torrential rain; his car overturns and he is rescued by a woman. Marley Corbett was the woman who saved his life and left her shoe behind. Trey decides to go online to try to find Marley. Marley owns and runs a B&B in Colorado; Trey lives in Arizona. As soon as he locates her, he heads to her home. Marley has been remodeling the B&B and it's closes until the New Year.
As they spend time together Trey knows she is the one for him. Of course, the way to true love is not easy. Great love story.

I love reading easy, breezy Christmas romances. I love the magical, whirlwind romance that often exists within their pages. Snowy Mountain Christmas is one of those books. This was a fun read. I enjoyed the unexpected twists and drama moments in this story. This is definitely a light and fluffy read, but there are a few darker moments that I wasn’t expecting. I loved the fast pacing of this book. The relationship between Hailey and Trey moves fast, which is typical for a novella romance.
I enjoyed the overall story. It had everything I wanted:
An unforgettable meet-cute.
A snowy, isolated setting.
Sweet, swoony moments.
Even a bit of spice.
Some of the descriptions in this book made me give it a lower rating. There were times when the author would describe something or let us know a character was doing something, but she did so in a manner that was jarring. These moments didn’t fit with the flow of the story and sometimes felt unnecessary to the overall story.

All the characters were wonderful. Everyone played an important role in this book. Hailey and Trey were great main characters. They both have lived, and even though they weren’t older MCs, they both felt like old souls. I loved spending time with them and watching as their romance blossomed on the pages. Jack and Marley were such delightfully fun secondary characters. They charmed me from the moment they appeared on the page, and I just couldn’t get enough of their relationship. There was just the right amount of cheeky, spunky banter.

As I mentioned, this is an instant-love romance, and because this is a novella, the hurdles that Hailey and Trey have to overcome are minimal and are often solved fairly quickly. The romance between Hailey and Trey is textbook Hallmark-y charming with a small dash of spice. I enjoyed these two together. There was this fun sweetness to their love story.

Snowy Mountain Christmas is a heartwarming Hallmark holiday romance.

This was a lovely cozy Christmas romance. I was hooked in the first few pages. It's sweet heartfelt, entertaining and emotional. Wonderfully authentic characters you'll fall in love with. These two had a ton of chemistry and spark, I loved how their romance developed. A romance beautifully written and the bed and breakfast at wintertime served as the perfect backdrop. An amazing read!

The main characters met under the most extreme circumstances possible and even "met" is a strong word for how their worlds collided.
And that's probably why I felt the connection was too insta-love situation.

I'd say that I wasn't a huge fan of the lingering suspense, regarding a bad character, in this plotline but I guess there had to be some sort of conflict.

<i>Thank you Netgalley and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.<i>

An amazing “anytime” story with strong characters who live their lives with courage and belief. Even though Marley Corbett lost her parents, she carries on the traditions of the Corbett Inn, first opened by her great-grandparents. On her way home, through a snow storm, she receives a message from her “angel” which causes her to take a detour. Her detour saved the life of Trey Austin who she rescued after his car accident. The only clue that he has about the woman who saved his life is the red shoe that was left behind in the mud. Trey begins his search for the Cinderella who saved his life which eventually leads him to Marley. He couldn’t wait to meet her and having never felt close to his absent parents is thrilled with the welcome he receives from Marley and her community. She is excited to meet the man she saved and awed by their immediate attraction. As she prepares to reopen the inn, Trey stays and soon becomes an integral part of her life. She has no idea that he is her favorite mystery author, Chapel Hill. How will she weather the media storm and the disruption to their lives when he announces his writing career? Loved everything about this story! I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (paytonpuppy)
