review 1: Reviewed by JulieBook provided by the author for reviewReview originally posted at Romancing the BookI have read Jennifer Faye’s novels from time to time and I always find them to be really great romance stories. This one is no exception. There were a few tiny rough spots here and there with one of the characters, but overall this book will have you in the holiday spirit in no time.I love second change at love romances and when they are written around the holidays it makes it even better.Kara is person I liked right away. After seven long years of dashed hopes and dreams she has managed to find a comfortable place in her life with her job and family. But, when the lodge comes under knew ownership , and it’s revealed that her former fiance is her new boss, Kara’s care... moreer may have to change. I admired Kara’s big heart and her integrity. She is open and able to forgive and understand even the most unbelievable and cruel things about what Jason has been though.Jason was another story. A man that dumps his fiance without explanation, stays away for seven years, neglects his dying father, and then waltzes back into Kara’s life as though nothing ever happened, actually asking her if they can be friends…. well he didn’t endear himself to me all that much.The theme here is a tiny bit dark in some places for a holiday novel. However, there is a cute kid whose character gives the book a dose sweetness and spunk that offsets some of the drama. Long held secrets will come to light, which once out in the open will have to be dealt with. Some are very hard to accept and Jason’s reaction and accusations were a little curious. Kara’s nature and good heart will be the key to how things turn out. She just doesn’t have it in her to cause Jason more suffering by holding on to hurt feelings. After all, Christmas is a time for forgiveness and new beginnings, and what is more romantic than second chances at love with a backdrop of snow and cozy fireplaces? I am so happy Jason and Kara will have their long overdue Happy Ever After.This book was well written, evenly paced , emotional, and heartwarming. I would recommend adding this one to your holiday romance reading list.
review 2: After reading Jennifer Faye's Rancher to the Rescue, which I thoroughly enjoyed, I was really excited when I found out she had written another novel and was looking forward to the opportunity to read it. In Snowbound with the Soldier, Jennifer Faye has delivered another delightful romance. It's been 7 years since Jason Greene walked out of Kara Jameson's life. She thought she was over him, but when he shows up in town right at Christmastime, and at the hotel Kara works at that has just been purchased and is now under new ownership, she suddenly finds all those feelings that she thought were buried, dead and gone, pushing their way right back to the surface as she stares in the face of this dark and mysterious soldier, who comes across as if he were Ebenezer Scrooge himself. What she isn't aware of is that Jason is battling the same demons, or so he thinks that's what they are, especially with the secret from his past that has almost destroyed him and any hope for a future, at least a future that involves a family. Kara has a bit of a suprise herself that Jason is unaware of also. As fate would have it, a snowstorm forces these star-crossed lovers into closer proximity than either of them would like to be in. Now Kara and Jason have to figure out if they are willing to try to put the past behind them, or if their secrets and hurts are too big to overcome.Snowbound with the Solider is one of those novels that gets you smiling and keeps you smiling. I like to call them feel-good stories. Despite the seriousness of some of the things that have happened to Kara and Jason, Jennifer Faye has delivered a story that will warm your heart and leave you feeling happy with a smile on your face. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters, as well as the secondary characters, and I enjoyed watching Kara and Jason as they began to rekindle their friendship towards something more. Snowbound with the Soldier is one of those novels that is serious enough to make the story interesting, yet light enough where you aren't bombarded by the circumstances and can sit back, relax, and truly enjoy the book. The romantic aspect was wonderful with just the right amount of sizzle. The story line itself was entertaining, as were the characters that Jennifer Faye created. If you are a contemporary romance fan, then Snowbound with the Soldier, is the perfect story to curl up with and enjoy. less
