A review by caligirlrae
Summer in Snow Valley by Kimberley Montpetit, Jeanette Lewis, Cami Checketts, Taylor Hart, Lucy McConnell, Cindy Roland Anderson
This anthology is the follow-up to the wonderful Christmas in Snow Valley as we return to Snow Valley, Montana. I really loved the first antho and was excited to see the authors return with new stories featuring some very yummy cowboys. I'm still reading it as of this review but I'm definitely enjoying the stories and am currently on Cami Checkett's (a fave of mine) A Touch of Love after reading Catching Caytie.
When I started, I had planned to read a little of Cindy Roland Anderson's Catching Caytie before bed, but the story caught my attention and never let go until the very end. Caytie was likable and sweet but I couldn't help siding with Jake during their first encounter. Although he was a bit of a grump, I still couldn't help rooting for them to get together and find solace from their broken families and pasts. I also love that although there were clear villains with believable motivations, one of the characters I didn't like (because she was moving in on the hero) was still sympathetic because of the lengths she would go through for love of her son. Later on when she practically dimed out the heroine from the very people she was hiding from, she showed remorse and made things right. Ms. Anderson is definitely on my to-read list as her writing and storytelling moved this story right up to my fave reads.
5/5
I'll update as I finish and I can't wait to dive more into these stories if they are as awesome as the last antho. I hope the authors return for a Fall in Snow Valley antho collection. It'll be a great addition to the set and the perfect reading with my pumpkin spiced lattes and tea!
