4.5 FABULOUS STARS

I chose this book to read with the girls as my birthday read. Since my birthday is 6 days before Christmas, I was looking for something that was well...Christmasy, duh!? The cover instantly grabbed me. I read through the synopsis and thought...hmmmm, this could be interesting. Widow builds snowman. Widow cries on said snowman, while mourning dead husband. Snowman comes to life in the form of a super, duper hot and sexy Snow God, disguised as a human to win her love. Yep...totally up my alley! I'm in! And so I set off on my little journey....

The chemistry between Owen and Megan is HOT. The little things that Owen does for her to prove just how much he loves her are so very sweet. At one point he removes the scar from her cheek she gets from crying and hugging the snowman the night she created him.
“Instead of an ugly scratch of a scar, he'd given her a beautiful piece of himself. A snowflake. Small and discreet, noticeable if you knew to look, but otherwise really just for her. A gift.”

Chemistry is not enough for these too, unfortunately. They have time and the elements fighting against them. Owen as just a few days to prove to Megan that he truly loves her and is deserving of her love in return or all will be lost. Megan has to let him into her heart in order for them to both gain their happiness.

I am so very happy that I came across this book in goodreads! I loved reading it. This was my first Laura Kaye book and it will not be my last! Her writing was smooth, and caused me to feel with the characters. Her world building had depth, as well. I felt even chilled to the bone in the snow. :o) Hmmmm, maybe Owen was hanging around... haha Bottom line, this is a great book. It was a super cute, super hot sexy Christmas read! I mean, how can you go wrong with a super hot sexy snowman!?
