Christmas in Snowflake Canyon by RaeAnne Thayne
3.0
Closer to 3.5 stars
Part of a series, this chick-lit contemporary romance can easily be read alone. It is about the familiar trope: bad boy vs. spoiled little rich girl. Dylan Caine and Genevieve Beaumont met in a dive bar when she has had one drink too many. She came across as a bumpkin without a filter and made a few stupid mistakes. Dylan then came to her rescue and they both landed in jail.
The result is they have to perform 100 hours of community service, before Christmas, to avoid having a permanent record. And, where of all places, but a wounded veterans recreation center. This was a sore spot for Dylan because he had returned home from fighting in the Middle East minus a hand and with the loss of one eye. Working side by side is not what either wants but boo-hoo.
Over a period of days, these two learn from the strengths and weaknesses of other veterans. Dylan is recovering at his own pace when he sees men and women whom are worse off them he is; it is humbling. Genevieve loosens up, shakes up and grows up. She becomes a better person and, at the same time, never loses her quirkiness. This is a heartwarming story that will make you appreciate what you have.
