Stunning read。 Emotional and just so darn unputdownable！ I just needed to know all of the story！ Glamorous locations and so much intrigue。 Unpredictable and a ride from start to finish。 I was in tears within chapters！ Highly recommended。 Thank you Netgalley

Thank god this one is finished。 This literally took me an age to read。 Very long winded and dragged on forever。 I’m sure it was breeding chapters as I was reading。 That said， it was a good story but could have been half the length。 The love story was inevitable but didn’t happen until the very end - which I found frustrating！

The story is about a documentary writer， Clover， who sets out to write a story about Kit a surfer turned snowboarder。These two are enemies due to a past accident in which a fellow surfer and friend was killed。 This is a fast paced story and an excellent holiday read。 Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for my honest review。

This isn't the usual genre I read （I'm a psychological thriller girl） but the cover was so pretty， I fancied giving it a go for the festive period - and I'm glad I did！ It was a really nice surprise to find myself totally invested and rooting for the characters， despite the fact that （like all romance novels） it was very predictable。The story is set mostly in the world of competitive snowboarding in Austria and Switzerland， which I found interesting。 There is a lot of jargon but it just showed t This isn't the usual genre I read （I'm a psychological thriller girl） but the cover was so pretty， I fancied giving it a go for the festive period - and I'm glad I did！ It was a really nice surprise to find myself totally invested and rooting for the characters， despite the fact that （like all romance novels） it was very predictable。The story is set mostly in the world of competitive snowboarding in Austria and Switzerland， which I found interesting。 There is a lot of jargon but it just showed that the book had been very well researched。 The setting is wintery but not particularly Christmassy， however that didn't detract from my enjoyment at all having purchased the book to read over Christmas。The plot is predictable as I mentioned but at the same time does have some surprises and still kept me invested。 It wasn't as 'chic lit' as I thought it was going to be - it's actually quite thought-provoking in its exploration of how the media influences the way we see celebrities， and just how damaging that can be。What really made the book for me though was the characters， especially Kit Foley。 The chemistry between the characters felt so real it leapt off the page; the love story is far sexier than anything E L James wrote for Fifty Shades， even though there's about 0。1% of the sex that that series had！ I was actually sad to finish the book and leave the characters。My only criticism would be that the middle section felt quite long and lacked a bit of pace （it's a hefty book）， however I still read the whole thing in a week which is faster than usual。 I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for something light but addictive to read over winter。 。。。more

The research done by Ms Swan on both surfing and snowboarding is evident in this book。 Very well put together and kept me wanting to know more。 A solid 4 stars

One Hell of a roller coaster of emotions in this great new book from Karen Swan。I have read many of her books and have enjoyed her story telling in the past。 This book is no exception except I seem to have got bogged down in the the middle part of the book finding it hard to get past。 However I pushed through and really enjoyed the ending too。It starts off completely compelling and I was desperate to read on。 The characters are really well written， this includes secondary characters too。 The act One Hell of a roller coaster of emotions in this great new book from Karen Swan。I have read many of her books and have enjoyed her story telling in the past。 This book is no exception except I seem to have got bogged down in the the middle part of the book finding it hard to get past。 However I pushed through and really enjoyed the ending too。It starts off completely compelling and I was desperate to read on。 The characters are really well written， this includes secondary characters too。 The action is sublime and I could picture myself in the surf and in the snow。 I feel we needed to know more about Amy's motives to suddenly come out with the things she said after so many years。 However this did not detract from the book at all。A great stand alone book - not a Christmas book really just mainly set in the snow but the enemies to lovers angle was intense。A great read， I have enjoyed the authors style in her previous books and excellent story。No swearing， sex scenes or violence so a great book to gift to friends and family。 。。。more

I did not care for this book。 The characters were not nice。 I have loved other books by Karen Swan， but not this one。

I absolutely loved this book right from the beginning to the end。 I read it in 6 days which is the quickest I’ve ever read a book and I’ll definitely be reading it again in the future。 It’s got twists all the way through but ends exactly as you expect it， which is how I love all books ending！ Would 100% recommend！

I've read my fair share of promising but ultimately boring chicklit-romance stories set at Christmastime in picturesque surroundings。 Good news: This is not at all one of those。 （I wouldn't have fallen for it without my friends' positive reviews， I do seem to learn from history 。。。） There is quite some depth to this， no really blackhearted villains or perfect heroes but more or less vulnerable and selfish/selfless human beings。 And I never get tired of the enemies-to-lovers trope。 ;） I've read my fair share of promising but ultimately boring chicklit-romance stories set at Christmastime in picturesque surroundings。 Good news: This is not at all one of those。 （I wouldn't have fallen for it without my friends' positive reviews， I do seem to learn from history 。。。） There is quite some depth to this， no really blackhearted villains or perfect heroes but more or less vulnerable and selfish/selfless human beings。 And I never get tired of the enemies-to-lovers trope。 ;） 。。。more

The best thing about a Karen Swan book is her ability to transport you to exotic places and locations to the point you feel like you are part of the setting or you can imagine being there。 This one swept me away to a quaint Austrian town and into the world of competitive snow boarding and documentary making。 The romance aspect was a little far fetched as the main “hero” suffered pretty serious traumas in his life which， in the real world， would make relationships difficult for him thus making th The best thing about a Karen Swan book is her ability to transport you to exotic places and locations to the point you feel like you are part of the setting or you can imagine being there。 This one swept me away to a quaint Austrian town and into the world of competitive snow boarding and documentary making。 The romance aspect was a little far fetched as the main “hero” suffered pretty serious traumas in his life which， in the real world， would make relationships difficult for him thus making the ending not so believable。 I do love her writing style and her characters feel well developed for the most part。 I will keep devouring her books as they have really helped take me away to so many exciting and beautiful venues and that’s what a good book should do after all！ 。。。more

It took a long time to get going and for most of the book I didn't like the characters。 Had a great ending though but not so sure it was her best。 It took a long time to get going and for most of the book I didn't like the characters。 Had a great ending though but not so sure it was her best。 。。。more

I enjoyed this latest Karen Swan book more than some of her recent books which felt like they were lacking in detail and story compared to her earlier books and that they were being churned out to meet publishing schedules。 A welcome return。

My first book by Karen Swan was Christmas at Tiffany’s and I have enjoyed so many of her books since。 I always look forward to her books at Christmas and this one definitely didn’t disappoint。 I especially loved the sports aspect in this book。 If you are looking for a great book make sure to check out one from this author。
