Quick Summary: A Two-in-One Romance
My Review: Baby, Let is Snow by Beverly Jenkins and Elaine Overton was a two-story romance compilation. Both romances were second chance love stories.
I'll Be Home for Christmas:
This story was about young lovers who grew up together in life and love. Unfortunately, they were torn apart due to infidelity. After a time, they were reunited. Strong feelings remained for both. The male lead, Morgan, realized what he once had was the only thing he ever really wanted. He was determined to get his true love back, no matter how long it took. The female lead, Dina, was burned so badly by what Morgan did to her in the past that she was determined to fight all his efforts of pursuing her. Still, she could not deny the raw passion they felt for one another. Would she succumb to his advances and give in to her secret desires? Would she give him a second chance at winning her heart?
My Final Say: This would have been a great full length story.

Second Chance Christmas:
This story was weird. I didn't care for it as much as I did story one. There were likable parts to it, but there seemed to be an overall disconnect. One of the things I had a hard time with was the relationship between the siblings; it was disjointed. They did not seem close at all. Also, the very thing Diane's father did to her and Robert (meddling) was the very thing she tried to do with Shawn (just because she didn't agree with his decision). When she had the thought about his mental capacity, I was floored. It made me not care for her as a lead. I could say more, but I won't. Regarding Diane and Robert, there were just too many missing elements. Gaps were left in their story, yet the next thing you know, they were going at it. Nope...that meshing was unbelievable. With that said, I think the saving grace of the story was the proposal scene in the broken-down cabin. It was sweet.
My Final Say: This was a no.

I’ll Be Home For Christmas, by Beverly Jenkins
I did not like this. I found the romance… weird? Like, he cheated on her, and he barely apologizes, but her ~body~ can’t resist his charms? And that’s just okay??
Also — only took place at Thanksgiving. There were no Christmas/winter shenanigans which was 90% of the reason I wanted to read this.
Also also — the many MANY euphemisms were just a bit much for me.
