Jackson Merritt's first night in London has concluded with an unexpected bang. Acting on instinct, he steps into the midst of an attempted theft that leads him into the life, and heart of Vanessa Colby.
A personal shopper at world-famous Harrods, Vanessa wants only to savor the start of the Christmas season. She's not looking for love, but after being rescued from harm by Jackson, she finds herself falling fast and hard for the handsome American who heads North American operations for her family's IT firm.
But a woman from Jackson’s past shows up in London as well—and if she can’t win him back, she’s bent on destroying his career, and any future happiness with Vanessa.
As truths play out, as emotions are faced and reconciled, Jackson and Vanessa must confront the ideas of reformation, forgiveness, and finding a way to love…even in the darkest circumstances.

I enjoyed exploring the twists and turns that can play out in a relationship as a person with bad intent becomes reformed. Additionally, paying a visit to characters I fell in love with in FINDING HOME. Taking another trip across the pond to my favorite city, London, was an added perk to writing this holiday story!
“Snowflake Kisses” by Marianne Evans takes you on a splendid visit to London and is a delightful read.
Sometimes our biggest hurts and challenges can lead us to our best blessings!
“Snowflake Kisses” will captivate you right from the start. Vanessa, who we fell in love with in “Finding Home”, seems to be in quit the predicament. Jackson happens along at just the right moment. Coincidence, chance or divine appointment. You will have to decide as you read.
London is full of wonder at this time of year and each snowflake seems to be full of romance and charm for these two. Loving family and friends see the connection long before Vanessa and Jackson, they try to advise, help, support and provide assistance without interference. Marianne tells this in the most delightful way and truly brings these characters to life and your heart.
No matter what stage of your relationship with GOD you are in and no matter what stage the other person is in, we can learn something from each other if we will just be open to receive GODs teachings. Jackson is recovering from a broken heart that does not want to let him go easily. Vanessa loves her job but wonders about her safety. Can they help each other find answers? Vanessa and Jackson have much to teach each other about life and trusting GOD. You will laugh and cheer with them as they deal with this new found bound they share.
This is a five star Hallmark movie maker for sure!
I pretty well know when I am starting a book by Marianne that I am going to be in for a good read. This one was no exception. The story pulls you in from the first pages and keeps you reading to see what is going to happen next. Another wonderful read for the Christmas season and another one from this author I definitely recommend.
