The Twelve Days of Snowball

  In Kristen McKavanagh’s The Twelve Days of Snowball, the 2nd installment in the Snowball contemporary romance series, this Christmas-themed contemporary romance is tender-hearted and sweet with some funny moments.  Sophie Heidt is the newest hotel manager of the Weber Haus hotel for the Christmas season. She had heart broken by her boyfriend who stole her dreams away from landing a role at her top-choice hotel. During the Christmas season, she’s in charge of the hotel in Braunfels and runs into Snowball, an adorable white kitten who’s the official kitty of the Victorian B&B Inn. And then she runs into Daniel Aarons, the construction foreman, who she had butted heads with on a daily basis. While she had gotten into the Christmas spirit, she dealt with entertaining guests, have preparations made for the Christmas Market, and deal with hilarious moments when it comes to Snowball and her match-making ways. As for Daniel, his best friend recuperated at the hospital and needed to pick up the pieces to finish what he started on the job to help Sophie get ready. Though she infuriated him at first, he learned to get on her good side and deal with whatever she needed to help the hotel. But they were two people who stood in his way, his competitor named Jannik Boch, and Giselle, a former childhood flame who had her eyes set on him. While he made Christmas magic with Sophie, they had a few laughs together and realized how good they were for each other. But when Sophie received an interview for her dream job at the hotel, would she follow her heart or make dreams when she felt at home with her new friends to celebrate the holiday spirit?

This was a delightful Christmas-themed contemporary romance. Snowball was a hoot in all of her kitten-like ways to bring Daniel and Sophie together. I cared about Sophie on how she dealt with all the innings and outings of running a hotel during the holiday season and beyond it. I loved how she friended Clara and handled Snowball in more ways than one.  I adored Daniel and was glad that he came to the senses and be on Sophie’s side all the time. I loved how the “Twelve Days of Christmas” theme was interwoven throughout the storyline for the theme. The location of Braunfels was enchanting and unique from the B&B and to the Christmas Market with vivid imaginary scenic settings for the location. The theme of the story is that you can make your dreams come true anywhere if you believe in yourself.

I loved how it dealt with finding love during the holidays. This was heartfelt and moved me to tears. I rate this book, five out of five stars, because it was a powerful read and well-written. This is recommended to everyone who loves to read Christmas-themed contemporary romances and loves Hallmark movies.
