The Trouble With Snowmen by Dorlanna Vann #review

Snowmen drift into your life like they were sent from above. The relationship is great, rolls right along, and builds. Everything seems perfect … until a little heat is introduced. Then they melt, leaving only their hat, their scarf, something to remind their victims of what they’d lost.

Urban cowgirl Haley Monroe is told that the fabulously hot guy who just dumped her was a snowman. Her friend Maximilian convinces her that the only way she’ll ever stop being played by snowmen is to become one. It takes a lot of drinks to work up the nerve, but Haley gets her sexy on and goes on the prowl.

Famous horror author Larry White drops everything to attend a midnight séance at Maximilian’s apartment where he meets Haley. By the way she’s dressed—and just propositioned him—he assumes she’s a hooker. Larry can’t pass up the chance to get inside her head, especially since prostitution is the character’s occupation in his next book.

After spending the weekend together, unexpected sparks surprise both Haley and Larry. The trouble is Haley is dead-set on snowmanning the unkempt “starving artist” she met at the séance, and Larry doesn’t think he could have a real relationship with a woman with a past, so they go their separate ways.

The real fun begins when they meet again and find out neither one of them were who they thought they were. Can they reignite the flame? Or will they have a snowman’s chance in hell?

My review:

I am always saying how much contemporary bug me and I swear authors are trying to crack me on that. I loved this book. Haley is hilarious, kind of flakey and sweet as all get out. What I love about this book is that you watch these characters go through so many changes – from the blatant misconceptions they had of each other when they first met to trying to figure out if they can muddle through all the mis-steps in the beginning to create a relationship they both are desperately seeking. Throw in a few crazy best friends and a clingy, kind of beastly ex-girlfriend and you have the perfect recipe for a fantastically hilarious rom/com. Solid 4 stars from me.
