Sharon Sala is a must read for me. I loved this book and all the characters. Such a sweet Christmas book with lots of friends, angels and a hot romance. I highly recommend this book.
Snowy Mountain Christmas by Sharon Sala Enchanting storyline and a sweet relationship with a bit of divine intervention and a slight variation on the classic Cinderella story. An enjoyable holiday read.
Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.
Trey and Hailey are great characters. Another winner for Sharon Sala. She always brings the feels for me. Secondary characters are also good. Recommend reading this book or any book by her
Snowy Mountain Christmas was so cute! I enjoyed every page.
Trey was on his way home to Phoenix when he drove straight into a terrible storm. One minute all he could see was rain and the next lightning struck and he saw no more.
Marley was driving back home to Colorado when she came to a fork in the road. She knew she should go one way, but something told her to go the other. It's a good thing she did because she was there in enough time to rescue Trey and save his life.
What happens after is pretty great. Once Trey is released from the hospital, he is on a mission to find his Cinderella. The woman who saved his life and left her red shoe behind.
I really enjoyed this story and highly recommend it for this holiday season.

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
Christmas is a great time to be snowed in with the woman who saved your life in this heartwarming, small town holiday romance from New York Times bestselling author Sharon Sala.
I really enjoyed this cute Christmas romance, although it is a little unbelievable to go from stranger to spouse in such little time.
There are very light Christian themes, as well as the wonder of angels guides, who are responsible for Marley and Trey meeting.
Trey and Marley meet with a little bit of divine intervention, with a slight twist on the old Cinderella story.
This book is about list and lonely people finding their place with each other, and how love heals them. Mathis book is full of heart and wit, as all Sharon Sala’s books are. It’s a wonderful read and will be on my Christmas book rotation from now. Highly recommended!
This is a romance set around the holidays. Good characters, good story line and a sweet romance. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.
This is such an inspirational book. I loved all the characters. Mia and Brax are wonderful. This is a very insightful book into how cancer impacts our lives. It was very sad at times, but it was offset by the magic of Christmas. It’s very well written and I really enjoyed
Snowy Mountain Christmas was a holiday joy! Sharon Sala can tell a tale and the story about innkeeper Marley Corbett and reclusive writer Trey Austin, will be one of my favorites to re-read every holiday season. Marley is in Arkansas visiting online friends to gather recipes for her B&B in Colorado. Trey Austin is also in Arkansas doing some research for his upcoming book. A wrong direction on Trey's car's GPS leads him into a storm and then into a devastating car crash. Marley is also heading into the same storm but she is guided to travel a different path home and comes upon Trey's car wreck. This tiny but determined woman works tirelessly to rescue Trey and waits with him until help arrives. After that she is cold, exhausted and drained but since she is no longer needed now that the authorities have arrived, she continues her journey home. After Trey begins to heal, he's determined to find his savior even though no one knows her name. That's when the real fun begins! He goes to the help of social media to track down his "Cinderella". Snowy Mountain Christmas was just wonderful. Great supporting characters, emotional and heartfelt moments, love and laughter. It was told from multiple POV and I would love to see this made into a Hallmark Holiday movie!
I received a free copy of, Snowy Mountain Christmas, by Sharon Sala, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Trey was in a car accident an is looking for the good samaritan that helped him. This is an enjoyable read, about finding the person that helped you, when you really needed help.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Sharon Sala has a way with her words. They are revealing. Sharp angst-filled at times illustrating harsh moments or feelings. Smooth as glass illustrating calm and love. SNOWY MOUNTAIN CHRISTMAS is certainly a work of art that this author dug deep to create. Surely it centers on the season but that is not really crucial to most of the story. Trey Austin was literally saved by the action of a total stranger. Marley affectionately called Ladybug or just plain Bug by those that love her, life is firmly vested in her lodge built and run by four generations. Marley’s life is securely attached to this lodge and place she has always called home. Trey, on the other hand, seems to have had no real place to ever call home. So very opposite but both so incredibly good.
Suspend disbelief and just enjoy a delightful romp in the snow with a sprinkling of pixie dust and fate perhaps. And since this is a Sharon Sala story the requisite amount of mystery and suspense. An equal number of good, bad, and indifferent characters fill the roles in this love story. What to wish for the holiday.
Trey writes mystery novels, bestsellers of course. The parallel to Sharon Sala is not missed and was actually a moment for some chuckles. But when Sharon Sala writes a paragraph about dealing with uninvolved parents her true nature is exposed. The reader is invited to move along with reactions to the words on each page. Nothing really momentous but with lasting memories.
Being snowed in provides Marley and Trey lots of time to get to really know each other. Any secrets and regrets exposed. Trust and love the prize. My shelves, both wood and cloud, are filled with stories told by this extraordinary teller of tales. I love a good mystery, nail biter, as much as romance. With Sharon Sala sometimes you get a comfortable mixture of both. And in SNOWY MOUNTAIN CHRISTMAS you certainly do. If you are a believer in fate than Marley’s character will definitely speak to you. Trey’s life has been an empty vessel of failure to comply with family expectations. Love comes in all shapes and sizes. SNOWY MOUNTAIN CHRISTMAS beautifully captures the essence of don’t judge a book by its cover.
This is my first exposure to the author, and I found her writing style engaging and well-paced. The characters were charming, and the storyline had enough tension to prevent the novel from being too saccharine. The Christmas theme and related activities were well represented and vividly described, making the season come alive. My only criticism is that the romance seemed unrealistic and idealistic, going from strangers to lovers to spouses in days, weeks and months.
My thanks to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for the privilege of reviewing this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
This review is being posted immediately to my GoodReads account and will be posted on Amazon upon publication.
Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Trey is looking for the woman who assisted him when he was in a car accident. He is a writer who likes quiet in his life. When he meets Marley, he likes her immediately. A great holiday read that i could not put down.
Snowy Mountain Christmas by Sharon Sala. The story was beautiful. The sense of family and belonging.

Any book Debbie McComber recommends, is a great one! I absolutely cherished this read! I was feeling all the feels with it. A beautiful Christmas time story. Highly recommend.
Sweet story with a little spice. I thought it was a little corny at times as far as their meeting/ relationship. There was some drama with her past/his family. Hailey was a true angel changing her life and Trey’s for the better.. Thank you to NetGalley for this free advanced copy. I’m leaving this review voluntarily
Loved this book!
I really hope this book is the start of a new Sharon Sala series, I think it would fit right in with her others. There are very light Christian themes, as well as the wonder of angels guides, who are responsible for Marley and Trey meeting.
Marley grew up in a family with lots of love, enough money and hard work in the lodge business that she now owns. In contrast, Trey grew up in a house with nannies, tons of money and no parental love or attention. He is not bitter about it, but accepting. He knows Marley is someone special, not just because she saves his life, so he makes it his mission to find his Cinderella.
Their story is beautiful, one that the reader is part of. The book moves very fast, I read it in one day but didn’t want it to end. Please, please new series, the next story should be Meredith’s!
Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.
Snowy Mountain Christmas was the latest holiday romance book for me. This book was awesome. If you like books by Debbie Macomber, you will love this book.
