3.5 Stars

A lot of coincidences leads to serendipitiy for Noelle and Sam!

If you're in the mood for a fluffy Hallmark type romance, you will surely hit it off with this cheerful read.

Chance encounters and a freak of nature blizzard help to drive the hand of fate. Who doesn't want to meet their handsome soul mate on a snowy highway?

An easy summer read, although a bit contrived. I wanted to love it more, but was frustrated by some of the characters actions and I can't say I felt the sparks.

Thanks to NG and the publisher for my review copy. OUT Sept 28, 2021

I enjoyed, but didn't love as much as others. Thanks Debra!

I never got around to reading Emmie Blue last year!! I think I might like it much better. I'll check out your thoughts when you finish! <3

Melissa ~ Bantering Books Great review, Holly! It doesn't sound like this one hits the spot like "Dear Emmie Blue." I will try "Emmie" first. :)

Thanks Jan! I think it would have worked better if I felt more for these characters.

At least some feeling! Thanks Jen!


message 19: by Regina (new)

Regina Maybe I read too many stabby books, but when I think about meeting a stranger on the side of the road I picture Ted Bundy much easier than a soul mate. ;)


preoccupiedbybooks Great review Holly! I adored Emmie Blue but will lower my expectations for this one! I do feel like reading a fluffy hallmark type book though, so maybe I will read this soon!

I don't either, which is probably what happened here! Thx Kat!

Thanks Ceecee, I'm super picky with this genre!

Now, that would have been interesting, LOL


message 26: by Beata (new)

Beata Nice review, Holly :)) Personally, I'd steer away from handsome strangers on motorways lol :)) Read too many horros and thrillers probably ;)


Michelle Excellent review, Holly! 💛 Maybe I'll give this one a try after a heavy darker read just for some levity.

LOL, Beata! I'd give them the side eye too!


Stephanie I absolutely love Emmie Blue and was hoping this would be just as good. I'll be reading it soon so fingers crossed that I'm in the mood for Hallmark at the time! I'll make sure I'm not in a murdery book mood when I start it, lol. Wonderful review, Holly and I hope you're current read is fantastic! 💕
