A Snowflake Christmas -The Nutcracker is the second book of the A Snowflake Christmas series where each novel stands on its own. All are sweet holiday romances set in the fictional small town of Snowflake, Montana.My Review: I read the first book in this series of standalone books and fell in love with Snowflake. In this book we revisit a few of the characters from the first book but also meet new characters, Olga and Eric. I loved both. Olga is strong and trying to prove herself as a successful businesswoman. Eric is a single dad who is trying to do the best he can for his son, Quinn.
I loved the setting, the characters, and the strength in the families of Snowflake. Bringing back Olga’s high school boyfriend gave the story a fun little twist. The relationship of Olga and Eric was cute at the beginning. They circled each other, flirted, and just enjoyed being near each other. Olga is wonderful to Quinn, and this endeared her to me even more. The ending was too rushed. I needed more romance. It seemed like the author decided the book was done so she finished it.
A Snowflake Christmas-The Nutcracker is a cute and fun story. It is not long, and I read it quickly.
Olga grinned, “I’m so glad I got to meet him. Sorry about Mrs. Jameson and sorry I freaked. First day jitters, probably. Over the next several weeks all my energy will be poured into this farm. I hope you understand if you don’t hear from me.”
Erik blinked, then reached for her hand and gave it a squeeze. “I understand. I’m not going anywhere. In the next couple of days, will you tell me when you have some free time?”
Olga’s smile faded slightly, and she glanced to the side. At what he couldn’t tell. He took that as her polite way of declining his request. With feet heavy as blocks of ice, he made his way to Quinn and together they headed for the door.
Quinn talked to the nutcracker as they settled into the truck and Erik wasn’t sure if he should be concerned by the long one-sided conversation. Then Quinn did the strangest thing. He positioned the nutcracker on his lap and held the toy in its standing position.
“Will you really protect our home?” Quinn asked in a serious tone.
For some reason, the right arm of the toy sprung forward on its own.
Quinn giggled with delight. “Daddy, do you think it answered my questions?”
