I have long been a fan of Ms Temple’s stories. She creates vividly engaging characters and writes wonderfully romantic love stories that never fail to bring me great pleasure and joy. Therefore, I was particularly interested to see how this would translate to the shorter novella form.
I loved Snowbound with the Earl. It reads and feels like a whole novel. The story arc is perfect and there is so much background detailing in addition to the Christmas setting that the novella is a richly rewarding read.
There is enough back story to make Bella and Nicholas’s romance believable. They had crossed swords prior to the beginning of the novella. It is an “enemy to lovers” trope and comes to vivid life in Ms Temple’s hands. I really enjoyed their verbal sparring as they worked out what was happening to them. Their characters are pitch perfect with just the right amount of emotional depth and sensuality to balance their acute brains and quick tongues.
As always with this author’s work, the supporting characters are finely drawn and round out the story. I particularly enjoyed Nicholas’s mother and his young niece. I also felt sorry for poor Rupert who makes an appearance in Ms Temple’s excellent forthcoming novel: The Wrong Way to Catch a Rake. I would like to see him get his own story, if only to see how he excapes the clutches of his disagreeable mama.
This story perfectly captures the warmth and sentiment of the Christmas season and leaves this reader with a glow of satisfaction and joy.
Thank you to the author for a free copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.… (mehr)
