Snowy Serendipity is two short Christmas themed love stories in one package. The two stories are Dashing Through the Snow and Pining For You.
The first story was Dashing Through the Snow. This story I absolutely loved! Willow is dumped by her boyfriend of seven years right before a romantic couples trip on the “Christmas Express”. The Christmas Express is a two-week train ride that goes to different tourist areas along its journey.
Willow immediately hits it off with a few people one being an older man Clarence. Her treatment of Clarence draws the attention of the conductor Oliver, who also happens to be Clarence’s son. Willow fits into their circle perfectly and you immediately feel things happen for a reason, Willow was supposed to find Oliver.
The second story Pining For You I found to be a little harder to get into. Theo goes back to his small hometown in Virginia to help with a Christmas tree farm. What he really wants from going back home is to win back his childhood best friend, Skye. After reading the first story in this collection and connecting with the characters so easily, I was surprised I had a hard time connecting with Theo and Skye. I did not dislike them and I wanted them to be together but I found myself not caring about how they got there, I just wanted to know how they got there.
On their own, Dashing Through the Snow would be a five out and five, and Pining for you would be a three out of five. That is how we get to our final score. This Holliday season make sure to at least check out Dashing Through the Snow.
Final Score: 4/5
