Book Reviews of The Snow Bride
Book Review: Quick reading but lacks energy
Summary: 3 Stars
"The Snow Bride" is the full-length version of the short story by the same name which first appeared in _On A Snowy Night_. The premise is worth exploring, a young, beautiful executive assistant leaves the comfort of her Los Angeles home and heads to Alaska to meet the man she has been corresponding with over the Internet for the past several months. She learns, through a series of coincidences, that he is not the person he appeared to be and unexpectedly falls in love with a brash, rugged pilot. All in all, the characters are sweet and delightful, (the male lead is very funny!) but their tale makes a better short story than novel.
One plus is that Macomber writes wonderful romances without all the explicit language an graphic content that usually appears in this genre. Her characters and dialogue are usually fun, snappy and at times, very humurous (a quality not lost in main character Reid). Unfortunately, this story falls very flat. It is excruciatingly predictable and lackluster; having lost its zeal after the first two chapters. I like how one reviewer described it -- "cute". That about sums it up. It was dragging miserably, but still maintained its "cuteness" and humor.
I say buy a used copy or preuse a library copy on a day when you're looking to fill some time with a quick read.
3 and 1/2 stars.

Summary of The Snow Bride
A Snowbound Christmas . . .A Second-chance bride!
Practical Jenna Walsh has done something impratical. she's met a man on the internet and now, a month before Christmas, she's going to Alaska to marry him. Dalton Gray seems to be everything she wants in a husband -- sensitive, gallant, romantic . . .
On the flight to Fairbanks, she has the misfortune to sit beside Reed Kenner, who obviously isn't sensitive, gallant, or romantic. However, he's not impressed with her plan t marry Dalton, a man he detests (for good reason, as Jenna later finds out). So Reed takes it upon himself to change her destination -- and her marraigae plans.
Which is why Jenna ends up at Reed's cabin in tiny Snowbound, Alaska. It's currently a one-woman town (and the other woman's out of town. That leaves Reed, a bunch of eccentric old men, a few grizzly bears -- and Jenna. Kidnapped! And then there's a blizzard. The two of them alone, stranded in Snowbound . . .
Hmm. Maybe she'll be a Christmas bride, after all
