Thanks to Netgalley and Boldwood Books for the E-ARC. This is my first book by Beth Moran and I am completely in love. I loved both characters equally and for different reasons I loved how Bea grew and realized how loved she was and I just loved everything about Henry. I loved the Armstrongs family. I even enjoyed the "love triangle"
I’m not sure how I feel about this one still. I liked it while I was reading it but I found it very forgettable. I did really like the characters and the story line.
After a breakup, weather girl Bea is dreading going home for Christmas and facing her smug family and unwanted guest Henry Fairfax. Let It Snow is a delightful and heartwarming holiday rom-com. When a dream job interview in Scotland arises, she reluctantly relies on Henry for a road trip through the snow. A cosy and feel-good Christmas read with plenty of humor and holiday hijinks
Beth Moran's "Let It Snow" is a delightful Christmas novel that deserves a solid four stars for its heartwarming charm, well-crafted characters, and the cozy festive atmosphere it brings to life.
The story follows Bea Armstrong, a local weather girl, returning home to Charis House in Sherwood Forest for Christmas after the end of a long-term relationship. Facing the prospect of family gatherings and the presence of the insufferable Henry Fairfax, whom her parents have always hoped she would marry, Bea's holiday spirit is less than merry.
However, Moran cleverly introduces a twist in the form of a last-minute interview for Bea's dream job, situated in Scotland. The catch? Bea has no car, and the snow is falling rapidly. Enter Henry, reluctantly becoming her chauffeur for the journey. The stage is set for a Christmas filled with unexpected adventures, self-discovery, and the potential for new beginnings.
The characters in "Let It Snow" are a highlight, with Bea's relatable struggles and Henry's surprising depth making them endearing protagonists. Moran skillfully develops their relationship during a memorable two-day interview, a stay in a log cabin, and a challenging snow-filled journey. The narrative explores themes of love, second chances, and the choices we make, adding depth to the feel-good storyline.
Moran's writing style is engaging and lighthearted, making it a joy to immerse oneself in the festive world she creates. The novel is filled with smart and witty dialogue, creating a sense of camaraderie with the characters. The Christmas setting is beautifully portrayed, with Sherwood Forest and the log cabin adding a touch of magic to the story.
"Let It Snow" is a perfect read for fans of feel-good romance, reminiscent of authors like Jill Mansell, Julie Houston, and Jenny Colgan. Moran's ability to infuse warmth and positivity into her storytelling makes this novel a comforting and uplifting experience, particularly during the holiday season.
In conclusion, Beth Moran's "Let It Snow" is a heartwarming Christmas tale that captures the spirit of the season. With its engaging characters, charming setting, and a dose of festive magic, this novel is a delightful addition to the genre, sure to leave readers with a smile on their faces.
This book was sent to me by Netgalley for review…thanks to the publisher for the electronic copy…quirky characters…family dynamics…this is a gifted author at weaving a fun story…that being said, the different time lines were just too confusing…back and forth…if the reader is not bothered by this, it is a book that is perfect for a snowy afternoon.
I mean how can you go wrong with a winter read. If your into it, then this one is for you. I will be recommending this one for all my winter book lovers.
I enjoyed this heartwarming and cozy story. If you're looking for a story that takes place during the holidays but is low on the frills of the festivities, you'll likely enjoy this one.

⭐️⭐️⭐️
Christmas book, little quirky about Bea who needs to travel for a job interview and is stuck with a guy she loathed throughout her school years, Henry but is now the only one that can get her to Scotland. Will Bea get her dream job and find out Henry isn’t all that bad??

fun, festive and tender holiday read. I read this one in a day.
Bea Armstrong is our main character; she is the local weather girl and just ending a long-term relationship. Out with the old and in with the new, right? Bea isn't so sure though when her old flame keeps promising her the moon but never delivers. What a delight, she'll be able to spend Christmas with her family, but a last-minute interview as a weather girl is in her way and she must go. Never mind the snow is piling up on her way to Scotland. Bea has some important decisions to make.
I enjoyed the characters and plot. This festive snowy read is perfect for this time of year, and it was such an engaging story.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book.
All opinions expressed are my own.
This was cute and festive. I enjoyed the characters and the setting was really lovely.
At times the writing style got a bit chaotic and at some points it could have perhaps been trimmed down a bit so that we could have more from Henry who I really enjoyed reading about. On the whole it was a nice festive read.

This is my first Beth Moran novel and I enjoyed it so much I’m about to pick up my next read by the author.
The story centres around Bea Armstrong, a local weather girl who has just ended a long term relationship and has been avoiding spending Christmas with her family due to their inevitable I-told-you-sos.
During her trip back home she is given the opportunity to interview for her dream job but during the process she is left with some big decisions to make in relation to her professional future as well as her future relationships and who she wants to be with.
Bea was such a likeable character and this is the perfect holiday read with all the cosy feels.
I want to thank Netgalley and the Boldwood Books for generously providing me with this book in exchange for an honest review.
Pretty quick was rooting for Bea to fall for Henry. Really felt for her having to deal with family, ex boyfriends, and everyone expectations of what she SHOULD do and not follow her heart and do what she wants to do. Sweet, and charming. I really liked it
This is the first novel I’ve read by Beth Moran and it certainly won’t be my last.
I absolutely loved Let It Snow! It was festive, romantic and had so much heart. Bea is an excellent lead character and I wanted to be her friend. I liked the way her story developed and the way her relationships changed. Henry was also adorable and I was routing for them to get together.
And highly recommend!
My first Beth Moran book, although I do have lots more on my To Be Read pile! We meet Bea Armstrong, a weather presenter who is on her way to spending Christmas with her family when a last minute job interview gets in the way!
I really enjoyed this read and it makes the perfect Christmas story. Bea is a fun character and when she finds her childhood nemesis, Henry Fairfax has also been invited to spend Christmas with the family, the banter between them was delightful! Henry is a lovely character who you couldn't help but instantly like and despite the serious exterior he was definitely more like Superman than Clark Kent!
The whole book was filled with some snow, lots of Christmas and a little bit more snow to top it off. It makes the perfect seasonal read, coupled with a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie! I loved the trip up to Scotland for Bea's very important job interview, and found the "waiting staff" hilarious (although child labour does come to mind!)
The book was the epitome of what Christmas should all be about - family, friendships and love! There are lots of little life morals to learn from and the true value of Christmas is well and truely taught! A heartwarming feel-good story which I would definitely recommend!
A perfect book to get you in the mood for all things festive.
This is the first book by Beth Moran I have read and I am definitely keen to seek out more of her work.
Super cute christmas read, has a little bit of everything; workplace drama, second chance romance, family dynamics and conflict, a family secret. A really fun read that would be perfect for your Christmas holiday.
If you want a feel good Christmassy romance that you can fly through this is the book for you! Bea is a weather girl for a local tv station with ideas of going national. She isn't having the greatest time in her current job and she has to juggle that with going home for Christmas to her quirky family where she meets up with two men from her past. The ensuing story shows Bea's struggles with both men and her chance of landing a dream job and unearting some family secrets while she is home too. This book is funny, heartwarming and overall, a great read!
Stunning cover. The colours, design, everything,..just stunning, I loved the story too. Brilliantly written. A Christmas romance I would recommend to anyone, definitely one of the best ones I’ve read. I love that Bea is a weathergurl, such a cute profession, and the fact that Henry fell first. Well, he’s had a crush on Bea for years which was adorable. He was an adorable character really!
Loved the book! Perfect holiday read! Once I started it didn’t want to put it down! Had me craving lots of cakeee!
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. I have chosen to write this honest review voluntarily and it reflects my personal opinion
This book has all the ingredients for a perfect feel-good Christmas read: a family determined to make Christmas festive together, countryside and snow. The relationships are typical of a chick lit novel: unreciprocated love and an ability to recognise friendship when it's offered. So why did I feel it didn't quite hit the mark for me? I think I didn't really warm to Bea, she seemed to settle for giving Adam far too many chances to offer a commitment rather than realising enough is enough. I also thought parts of the plot were weak: if the school is threatened with closure due to lack of funds whilst having a good number of ex-pupils who've done well why weren't they approached for fundraising, or crowd funding could have been explored, and the state of the cabin was completely beyond belief - why would an agent continue to list it?
This was a pleasant book, but not one of the best Christmas stories I've read so it gets a middle of the road rating from me.
