Title: Second Chance Snowmance

Author: Caroline Frank

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Spice Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

My Review:

Rosie hasn't been home in 9 years. Her sister is getting married and wants her to be there, so she has no choice but to go back. She didn't expect to immediately run into her childhood best friend, and the one she can't forget about, Asher.

When she misses her bus, Asher offers to take her home. There's an awkward vibe between them at first because neither one of them can ignore the GIANT elephant in the room (car)...the incident that caused their fall out.

Will these two ever talk about things, or will this be forever on their minds?

I think this book had a great balance of drama, banter, and spice. There were times that they had trouble communicating which was a little bit frustrating, but it's like the kind you see in the movies, and I found myself saying "just say it already!" "you know you want to!" The characters are relatable and lovable, and I found myself rooting for them the whole time. The way this story was written made you feel like you were there with them. I was skeptical about reading it due to the reviews, but I'm glad I read it anyway because I think it was pretty good. 👍
