One Snowy Night by Jill Shalvis

One Snowy Night by Jill Shalvis is book # 2.5 in the Heartbreaker series. It can be read as a stand-alone. However, it should be noted that this story is about characters who have been featured in the previous books in the series.

I have been following the Heartbreaker series from the start. As such I was happy to know that Rory and Max would be getting their story. When I realised that this would be a novella, I was a bit wary. Why? Because of the length, the stories may suffer for lack of depth or a rushed ending. On that note, I took a chance, after all, it’s Max and Rory’s story.

From reading the previous books in the series, I recognized that these two were attracted to each other, but never once did they act on it.  The reason for this became clear in “One Snowy Night” Not only did these two have chemistry they also had a history which dated back to their high school years.  Rory had no clue that Max blamed her for ruining his life back then.  Now with a little interference from well-intentioned friends, these two find themselves travelling together as they return home for the Christmas.  They now have the opportunity to confront the past and in the process heal old wounds.

I enjoyed the intense interaction between the characters. It was great learning about their pasts which assisted me in getting to know and understand them better. It was fun watching them coming to terms with the issues of the past and starting a new chapter in their lives.

Despite the length, I enjoyed this installment. (The book ended at about 59%. The rest of the book is excerpts from the other books in the series.)  It was fun, sweet and entertaining. All in all, it was a great addition to the series. However, my fears materialised as the ending felt rushed.  I wished that more details were provided as it relates to Rory’ relationship with her family and Max.  It ended rather quickly for my liking.


If you are looking for a quick, funny and entertaining read “One Snowy Night” will do the trick.
