Maybe This Kiss (Colorado Ice #1)
by Jennifer Snow
Blurb:
Love
is always worth the risk . . .
Neil
Healy was happy to be promoted to Air Force Lieutenant, but he's less than
thrilled that the new job has brought him back to his hometown. The memories
alone could kill a man, to say nothing of actually seeing the woman he never
got over. Neil knew avoiding Becky Westmore would be impossible, but he didn't
expect the chemistry between them to be as strong as ever.
All
Becky wants this holiday season is to get through the month of December with
her sanity intact. Not helping? Her ex-boyfriend's return to Glenwood Falls.
Even after a decade apart, Neil still makes her feel in ways no other man has.
But Christmas is a time for miracles, and maybe Becky's will be a second chance
at first love.

Review:
Beginning
an all new series from a new author is always fun, especially when you can get
in on the ground floor—or in other words get a free preview before the series
is even public. I haven’t read anything
by Ms. Snow before but I can see myself enjoying this series immensely so I
might check out her other works. Maybe This Kiss begins the Colorado Ice
series with fireworks. Neil and Becky were each other’s first loves, but when
life became just a bit too real and complicated they went their separate ways,
though neither of them stopped loving.
Now Many years later Neil is back in his hometown and resisting the pull
to Becky is becoming harder and harder.
Becky is now a widower with a young daughter and she has no interest in
rekindling a romance with her first love, especially since the reason she
called off their relationship the first time is still a very real fear for
her. I loved getting to know Becky and
Neil and felt connected to them and cried right along with Becky when her fears
and hang-ups came close to losing out on love a second time for her. Neil is a strong hero and his sweetness and
determination made him the perfect match for Becky. I liked Becky a lot, could relate to her very
real distress in the military lifestyle, but I knew she would find a way once
Neil reminded her just how soul deep their love truly went. The emotions between these two were sweet and
their chemistry was obvious, though I will say I was a little disappointed on
the editing of the passionate parts of the story. Hopefully in future stories, Jennifer will
allow her readers to experience the full heat of the passion alongside her
characters. Becky’s brothers, who will
be the main stars in coming books I believe, were so sweet and alpha and I am
looking forward to seeing them fall in love and find a way to their HEAs. I can see this series being a great
experience and I can’t wait to get started on the next story, Maybe This Time.
