Cade and AbbyI love it。 Both characters are so dense in love that they're only hurting each other。 Cade is a alpha man and gets what he wants compared to Abby who is gentle and naive。 She return home to heal her wound while Cade trying to convince her and make her see that the city life has nothing to give。 I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys reading western romance book。 Happy Reading! 📚 Cade and AbbyI love it。 Both characters are so dense in love that they're only hurting each other。 Cade is a alpha man and gets what he wants compared to Abby who is gentle and naive。 She return home to heal her wound while Cade trying to convince her and make her see that the city life has nothing to give。 I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys reading western romance book。 Happy Reading! 📚 。。。more

This was a re-re-re-read for me。 I continue to wonder why I torture myself by re-reading my Diana Palmers when her 1983 books aren't much different than her 2018 books。 She only author I know of who hasn't grown in any way。 I *do* understand why I loved this book when first read it in 1983, but while some OS books can and do stand the test of time, I think my negative feelings have origins in the fast that while the author still writes the same way in 2019, so there's no comparisons to be made。 This was a re-re-re-read for me。 I continue to wonder why I torture myself by re-reading my Diana Palmers when her 1983 books aren't much different than her 2018 books。 She only author I know of who hasn't grown in any way。 I *do* understand why I loved this book when first read it in 1983, but while some OS books can and do stand the test of time, I think my negative feelings have origins in the fast that while the author still writes the same way in 2019, so there's no comparisons to be made。 Make sense at all?

OkOnce again the author spends 90% of the book with the couple fighting。 It’s gotten to be her main plot line。
Dottiebears,
So while I don't have a huge problem with the 14 year age difference when characters are late twenties to early 40's, there's a huge ick factor with a 30 something man hitting on a 17/18 year old girl。 Ick ick ick。This is definitely pretty old school, which I generally like, but I sure didn't like this one。 I always think I'm going to like Diana Palmer books and about half the time I end up hating them。 So while I don't have a huge problem with the 14 year age difference when characters are late twenties to early 40's, there's a huge ick factor with a 30 something man hitting on a 17/18 year old girl。 Ick ick ick。This is definitely pretty old school, which I generally like, but I sure didn't like this one。 I always think I'm going to like Diana Palmer books and about half the time I end up hating them。 。。。more

Snow Kisses is a sweet old fashioned romance written by author Diana Palmer。

Emily,
Not exactly a Christmas book, even though it is in a compilation book called a Husband for Christmas。 Cute, with cowboys and models, a dark plot twist you can see coming from the first few pages, and a predictably happy ending。 Interesting that Cade was like Abby's guardian but he fell I love with her。 Very Emma。 Not exactly a Christmas book, even though it is in a compilation book called a Husband for Christmas。 Cute, with cowboys and models, a dark plot twist you can see coming from the first few pages, and a predictably happy ending。 Interesting that Cade was like Abby's guardian but he fell I love with her。 Very Emma。 。。。more
Debs,
Cade and Abby took their time in coming to understand each other, but it was so well worth it。 It just shows you how given the ups and downs and the heartbreaks of misunderstandings, true love endures。 "Snow Kisses" keeps the reader turning the pages to read the ups and downs and pitfalls of Cade and Abby's journey to their HEA。 Their story is a long journey over a period of years that blends well in being current today or a few years ago。 It is a sweet western love story that never goes out of Cade and Abby took their time in coming to understand each other, but it was so well worth it。 It just shows you how given the ups and downs and the heartbreaks of misunderstandings, true love endures。 "Snow Kisses" keeps the reader turning the pages to read the ups and downs and pitfalls of Cade and Abby's journey to their HEA。 Their story is a long journey over a period of years that blends well in being current today or a few years ago。 It is a sweet western love story that never goes out of style。 I have read many of Diana Palmer's books and she writes stories that are ageless。 "Snow Kisses" is one of my favorites to date。 4。5 Stars! 。。。more

A definite "blast from the past" read。Diana Palmer is who first hooked me on romance novels when I was just a teenager。 Although many of her books have the same plot, I still find them nostalgic。 Snow Kisses is one of those books that I read many years ago, and I can still find the magic within these pages that turned ne towards this genre。 It makes you feel good, even though you often times want to throw her emotionally stunted, stubborn, and arrogant heroes into the nearest swamp!Recommended f A definite "blast from the past" read。Diana Palmer is who first hooked me on romance novels when I was just a teenager。 Although many of her books have the same plot, I still find them nostalgic。 Snow Kisses is one of those books that I read many years ago, and I can still find the magic within these pages that turned ne towards this genre。 It makes you feel good, even though you often times want to throw her emotionally stunted, stubborn, and arrogant heroes into the nearest swamp!Recommended for fans of Diana Palmer。 。。。more

3 1/2 Stars ~ Abby's loved Cade since she was fifteen years old and when she was eighteen, she thought he loved her in return。 He'd been so gentle that magical night when they had almost made love, but he'd pushed her away。 Convinced that Cade didn't care, Abby hopped on the bus for New York to make her way as a fashion model。 Working hard to put him out of her mind paid off, and soon she was sought after and successful。 The few times she'd returned to Montana to visit her sister, Cade had kept 3 1/2 Stars ~ Abby's loved Cade since she was fifteen years old and when she was eighteen, she thought he loved her in return。 He'd been so gentle that magical night when they had almost made love, but he'd pushed her away。 Convinced that Cade didn't care, Abby hopped on the bus for New York to make her way as a fashion model。 Working hard to put him out of her mind paid off, and soon she was sought after and successful。 The few times she'd returned to Montana to visit her sister, Cade had kept his distance which only confirmed to Abby that he'd never felt as she had。 Now at 22, Abby returned to Montana seeking solace and security, as she recovers from a brutal attack。 She tells Cade that she home to help Melly with her wedding a month away, but he can tell there's something wrong。 Abby's skittish and subdued and the lose clothes she wears completely hide the womanly curves。 When he finally gets her to talk about the attack, he promises to help her get over her fear of men, and teaches her how to take back control。 Abby thrives on Cade's gentleness and again she begins to hope that they have a future。 But Cade keeps putting up barriers preventing them from total intimacy and commitment。 She thinks it's because he only desires her and doesn't want to step over that line。 Their attraction torments them and when Melly returns from her honeymoon, Abby hops on the first plane back to New York with all her dreams of a live with Cade finally squashed。This is an emotional star-crossed lovers story。 Abby and Cade have always loved each other but are totally blind to how the other feels。 Ms。 Palmer lets us see into their hearts and feel the pain they bring to each other。 Cade is a strong hero, a man of the outdoors, defender of the land and honorable in deed。 He feels deeply and Abby shakes his control, but he thinks she's just playing "city" games with him and has no love for his way of life。 I hurt for both of them and wanted to shake them both to put some sense into them。 Pride kept them from confessing their love。 I thoroughly enjoyed how Ms。 Palmer ended their standoff and brought them their HEA。 。。。more

It was typical Diana Palmer, not really anything that stood out for me。 It was a quick read。

While Snow Kisses is a bit sweet for my palette, this book is a perfect example of it's intended genre-- a sweet romance-- so I'll ignore the cliches and endlessly misunderstandings because, quite frankly, I expected it when I purchased this book。 It doesn't get a full five stars though, as I didn't care for the hero's attitude of "get over it" which I found harsh, rather than supportive。 A good story While Snow Kisses is a bit sweet for my palette, this book is a perfect example of it's intended genre-- a sweet romance-- so I'll ignore the cliches and endlessly misunderstandings because, quite frankly, I expected it when I purchased this book。 It doesn't get a full five stars though, as I didn't care for the hero's attitude of "get over it" which I found harsh, rather than supportive。 A good story 。。。more

Dorothy Morawsky,
Awsome book!
Torie,
This is one of my favorite Diana Palmer books! In high school I would re-read it constantly and I just read it for the first time in years。 Abby is home from her modeling career due to an incident。 Cade has had a crush on her for about 9 years and can tell that something is troubling her。 Through miscommunication and a blizzard, will love be found?Yes, this does follow the tone of a LOT of other Diana Palmer books but for some reason the tone is different and it flows a bit easier。
Spinneretta,
Good。

Jacqueline J,
I think I've figured out my problem with Diana Palmer books。 The scenarios always sound so good so that I get sucked in。 Here for example I totally love a story line of an older man who fell in love with a young girl but has to wait for her to grow up。 But then DP fails in execution。 Here both the hero and the heroine make huge assumptions about the feelings and actions of the other。 But no one ever steps up to the plate and says anything。 How alpha can a guy really be if he can't even tell some I think I've figured out my problem with Diana Palmer books。 The scenarios always sound so good so that I get sucked in。 Here for example I totally love a story line of an older man who fell in love with a young girl but has to wait for her to grow up。 But then DP fails in execution。 Here both the hero and the heroine make huge assumptions about the feelings and actions of the other。 But no one ever steps up to the plate and says anything。 How alpha can a guy really be if he can't even tell some girl he loves, "you're mine and you're staying here with me。" I mean grow a pair。 The worst she can do is say no I'm not and leave anyway。 At least you'll have tried。 Also both of these two had people telling them that the other was crazy in love with them but both were like 'no you're wrong' without any real reason。 So he has always said he was not going to marry。 Might he have been throwing up an excuse while he waited for her to grow up?And here as in many DP books the virginity worship was OTT。 She was a virgin of course。 And although there is some question, I don't believe he was a virgin but he was inexperienced。 But I had to roll my eyes when he told her he had never undressed in front of a woman before。 。。。more
