Publisher's summary

After growing up in cheap motels, moving from town to town with her sister and mother, Cheyenne Christensen is grateful to be on her own. She’s grateful, too, for the friends she found once her family settled in California. But she’s troubled by the mystery of her earliest memories, most of which feature a smiling blonde woman. A woman who isn’t her mother.

Although Cheyenne has repeatedly asked for explanations, the people who could help aren’t talking. Cheyenne is set on finding answers, but without so much as a birth certificate, it won’t be easy.Things get even more complicated when her closest friend is attracted to the man Cheyenne has secretly loved for years. For Eve’s sake, she decides to step aside — which lands her right in the arms of Dylan Amos, oldest and baddest of the hell-raising Amos brothers. He’s the kind of guy she’s sworn to avoid. She can’t afford to make a mistake, not when she finally has a chance to learn who she really is and change her life for the better. But… maybe there’s more to Dylan than she thought. Maybe letting him go would be a bigger mistake.

Conflicted (SPOILER ALERT!!)

I just began this series and think I will love it.
But, I'm probably the only one that wants Joe and Cheyenne together. I thought that was where this was headed but then they introduced Dylan. I'm sorry, but for a woman in her 30's that waited for the right person (took her over 20yrs to have a meal with Joe who she claimed to love all her life) she hops immediately in bed with Dylan? not believable. Also, at the end she said she loves Dylan, accepts his proposal of marriage yet she has no clue who she is as a person. She just found her real family for goodness sakes. She's going from living with a kidnapper to marrying Dylan. Lastly, you can NOT begin a relationship based on a lie!!! I don't care who your covering for. This is not a little white lie but a major omission on her part. Especially since she grew up not knowing her parents and now she's letting her niece/nephew go through the same thing? Chey is encouraging bad behavior from an immature sister that needs to take responsibility for her actions. I know this will all come out but I just hope the talented Brenda Novak doesn't make this neat and tidy. I also hope she gives two characters who belong together forever (Joe&Chey) a chance.

Not my favorite

As a romance this book is just mundane. The heroine is weak and the friction between characters doesn't work. If you have a bunch of extra credits laying around go ahead and spend them. Otherwise, skip it.

When Snow Falls

First I want to say that I beleive all romantic novels should have a happy ending. Yes, the main characters do get a happy ending, but not so for quite a few of the supporting cast. Maybe this is for future stories and maybe not. In any case it left me feeling a little incomplete come the end of the story. I do feel that the first half of the book dragged on a bit. And for being chacters in their 30s it felt like a lot of teenage angst! I rolled my eyes a few times at this as there are scenes where I just wanted to yell "Make up your mind!" Maybe the main character just wasn't strong enough for me. For someone who went through a hell of a childhood and is doing a good job of surviving and striving in many ways, the main character is weak in so many other ways. The narrator did a pretty good job on voices, but her flow was really slow... making a book I already felt was dragging go even slower. I feel this book could be condensed to make a better book, but overall it wasn't bad.

A rare romance - kept me guessing for a long time

Any additional comments?

With most romances the fates our heroes are known within the first few moments. No so here. The emotional plotting was satisfyingly complex. If you want a romance novel, this is one of the best choices.

Another great book

This book was great, Brenda Novak is able to write the many dimensions in relationships. It was well worth the listen. Tara Sands does well with the character voice changes, although there was a few threads that were confusing, all in all she did well. The story was a great addition to the Whiskey Creek series. This book made me laugh, and cry. I do recommend this listen and author. It is worth the credit and has a average length.

Good, but difficult story line

First let me say I normally love Brenda Novak's books. This one is about two sisters who grew up in horrible circumstances with a negligent (to say the least) mother. Cheyenne, the younger daughter, is desperately trying to make an honest worthwhile life for herself in Whiskey Creek, but has serious doubts about whether her dying mother is really her biological mother. She has two love interests in the story and I hated the way she treated one of them (Dylan) - assuming since he had a troubled adolescence and he lived on the wrong side of the tracks, that he wasn't good enough for her. I couldn't understand why Dylan didn't tell her to get lost multiple times in this book.

On the other hand, Cheyenne's sister, Presley, succumbs to easy sex, drugs and living a life more like their mother's. Her part of the story is hard to listen to. Cheyenne's group of friends are annoying busybodies more than caring friends in this book. Despite all these negative elements, I couldn't stop listening to see what happened with the characters. I thought the narrator did a good job as well.

Whiskey Creek!

I loved this book by Brenda Novak. It kept me interested from the beginning to the very end. I loved the mystery and intrigue this one had and the sex scenes weren't really all that much. This was probably one of the better books I've read by Brenda Novak. I honestly didn't want this one to end! On to the next one…

Great Read

When Snow Falls (Whiskey Creek, #2) was another great read by Brenda Novak. Cheyenne grew up with her mother and sister moving from town to town. She is grateful that they ended up in Whiskey Creek and the friends she made there. She has early memories of a smiling blond woman who isn't her mother and this troubles her. She looks for answers and no one seems to know about these memories, but she has no birth certificate to get the answers she's looking for. She winds up spending a night with Dylan, who is one of the bad boys of Whiskey Creek. She knows she shouldn't get involved with him but she can't stay away. I loved reading Cheyenne and Dylan's story and can't wait to read more by Brenda Novak.
