Unfortunately I had to dnf this book which I am disappointed at as I heard good things of the author but the story just felt very mediocrely written and choppy that some parts didn't make sense. The characters were kind of bland. I put the book down thinking maybe I am in a reading slump but it was just boring so I couldnt continue.

This is a lovely slow burn romance.
I like the French setting and small village atmosphere. It's simply pleasurable to read about places like that.
I love the mountain rescue men and their important work. I also really loved that they played such a big part in this book. They are all very interesting characters and I loved the feeling of family they brought to the book.
Luna was such a lovely character and it was a pleasure to be able to follow her on her journey of self discovery. It was even better than what I expected. And of course, Yannick is one of the most amazing book boyfriends I've met this year. He's a real hero. I also really liked that he's a dad. It makes hime even more special.
The ending was even better than what I expected and it simply made me happy.

I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook. I was able to find the audio version through my local library. I have read a few books from this author. If you like lighthearted type rom com or even family drama type story plots you should check out this author! She write like Sophie Kinsella and Portia Macintosh. Very cute romcom! Highly recommend!

This is quite an unusual plot, set in Chamonix, just right for a winter read. The mountains dominate the story and the elements are integral to the story. Luna is completely out of her comfort zone, travelling to Chamonix in search of a few answers from her past. She has not come to terms with the loss of her mother but finds that there is a lot she does not know about her past.

Yannick has issues of his own to come to terms with and is adapting to his new life as a divorced father. You sense his sensitive side and he obviously cares very much for his young daughter. There are some romantic moments in the story but both Luna and Yannick find it difficult to admit how they really feel. There are plenty of secondary characters to give the story colour and the mountain rescue team camaraderie adds some humour. Luna finds that she has a mystery to solve which takes her by surprise and which upturns her view of her self. In the end, courage and seizing the day seems to be the way to go.

In short: fortune favours the brave

This is a superb winter romance, which I loved and adored! The story is about a woman called Luna who travels to Chamonix with her mother's ashes, to find out more about the man who left her an inheritance. While there, she meets a man called Yannick, who helps her in a lot of different ways. Together they find out the secrets of her past, which then leads to a close friendship and perhaps a bit more!

In "Snow Days with You," Luna embarks on a journey to Chamonix to uncover the identity of a mysterious benefactor who left her a life-altering inheritance. Instead of attending a Christmas dinner with her family, Luna sets off with her mother's ashes to delve into the secrets behind the unexpected bequest.

However, her plans hit a snag when her car, lacking snow tires and running low on gas, stalls before reaching Chamonix. Enter Yannick, a member of the mountain rescue team, who comes to her aid. With Yannick's assistance, Luna sets off on a quest that leads her to the heights of Mont Blanc, with Yannick agreeing to be her guide.

As Luna immerses herself in the loveliness of her newfound town, she finds herself drawn to Yannick, but he seems guarded, his heart seemingly closed off. Will he uncover the reasons behind his reluctance before Luna's departure?

Whether romance blooms or not, Luna's mountain adventures are captivating. "Snow Days with You" offers a rich portrayal of new locales and community spirit, making it a delightful choice for readers who enjoy exploring different places through fiction. Leonie Mack's vivid descriptions truly bring the setting to life.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood book for an advance copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

It took a bit for me to get into the story but once I had I was glad I’d stuck with it.
When Luna finds out she been left a legacy by a man she’s never met she sets on to try to find out why. With her mother’s ashes for company she finds herself heading to a skiing resort in Chamonix. She runs out of fuel just before reaching her destination and is rescued by Yannick who is a mountain rescuer.
Yannick listens to the reason why Luna is there and ends up offering to help her. Yannick has his own secrets and finds by helping Luna it’s helping him face up to some of his past. Are either of them prepared to risk opening their hearts?

Luna is about to find more than she expected this Christmas. The settings are beautiful and the romance swoon worthy.

This was a very cute and funny book which was easy and quick to read, I got invested in the story from the beginning and really liked the main characters. It was also a very emotional book, and I really enjoy when books are able to bring out some feelings. Definitely recommend this and I'm excited to read more from this author.

This book is not your typical Christmas read despite its snowy cover and mention of the holiday. Instead, it's a captivating tale of Luna's quest to uncover the source of an unexpected insurance payment. Abandoning her family's Christmas plans, Luna embarks on a journey to Chamonix with her mother's ashes in tow and a dodgy fuel gauge in her car. Along the way, she finds friendship, romance, and surprising revelations about her mother's past. Leonie Mack's storytelling shines in this novel, with realistic characters, vivid descriptions of the mountain setting, and an emotional depth that keeps readers engaged. From the challenges faced by the mountain rescue team to Luna's own personal journey of bravery and determination, "Luna's Windfall" is an exceptional read that will leave you thoroughly captivated.

I love the way Leonie Mack creates these warm and deep love stories where you can feel the characters' yearning for love but also the pain keeping them apart so deeply. I also really felt like I was in Chamonix, right down to wanting a warm hot chocolate to get out of the cold :) Highly recommend.

I was delighted to read an early copy of Snow Days With You. I loved the setting, which Leonie Mack brought so tangibly to life that I felt I was right there inside the story. Her characters and their relationship are so tenderly written that I was invested in them from the start. An immersive, warm hearted story which is the perfect winter read.

The meet cute in this book was so cute and funny. It immediately made me love Yannick. The story was interesting. It was about more than just the romance. Luna is trying to find answers after she receives an inheritance from a man she has never heard of. As she discovers more about the man, she always learns more about herself and her mom who passed a little before. Luna's journey gives you all the emotions. It was such a good story. Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for Leonie Mack’s Snow Days with You. Luna Rowntree has lost her mother and never knew her father. She inherits proceeds from a life insurance policy on a man who lived in Chamonix and wants to figure out why he left her this gift—so she sets off in her car to Chamonix.

Luna runs out of gas near town and is saved by a mountain rescuer named Yannick. As she continues to see him around town, he is intrigued by her story and helps her start to unravel the mystery… and of course sparks fly. This was a cute romance with a delightful setting.

Thank you to the author, Boldwood Books and Net Galley for the eARC in exchange for my opinion.

A cute holiday romance set in the mountains of France. Luna is on the hunt for information about a man who she’s never met who left her his life insurance policy. In the process she keeps bumping into Matthieu who then offers to teach her to ski. The rest well you know.
