Snow Falling

A Romance Novel

De: Jane Gloriana Villanueva, Anthony Mendez

Narrado por: Ivonne Coll

“Just the thing for a cold winter’s night between episodes.” —The Washington Post Book World

“Fans of the show will undoubtedly enjoy the chance to read Jane’s book in real life.” —Entertainment Weekly

It’s been a lifetime (and three seasons) in the making, but Jane Gloriana Villanueva is finally ready to make her much-anticipated literary debut!

Jane the Virgin, the Golden Globe, AFI, and Peabody Award–winning The CW dramedy, has followed Jane’s telenovela-esque life—from her accidental artificial insemination and virgin birth to the infant kidnapping and murderous games of the villainous Sin Rostro to an enthralling who-will-she-choose love triangle. With these tumultuous events as inspiration, Jane’s breathtaking first novel adapts her story for a truly epic romance that captures the hope and the heartbreak that have made the television drama so beloved.

Snow Falling is a sweeping historical romance set in 1902 Miami—a time of railroad tycoons, hotel booms, and exciting expansion for the Magic City. Working at the lavish Regal Sol hotel and newly engaged to Pinkerton Detective Martin Cadden, Josephine Galena Valencia has big dreams for her future. Then, a figure from her past reemerges to change her life forever: the hotel’s dapper owner, railroad tycoon Rake Solvino.

The captivating robber baron sets her heart aflame once more, leading to a champagne-fueled night together. But when their indiscretion results in an unexpected complication, Josephine struggles to decide whether her heart truly belongs with heroic Martin or dashing Rake.

Meanwhile, in an effort to capture an elusive crime lord terrorizing the city, Detective Cadden scours the back alleys of the Magic City, tracking the nefarious villain to the Regal Sol and discovering a surprising connection to the Solvino family.

However, just when it looks like Josephine’s true heart’s desire is clear, danger strikes. Will her dreams for the future dissolve like so much falling snow or might Josephine finally get the happy ever after she’s been dreaming of for so long?

A fun twist on a Jane the Virgin

Ivonne's reading is fantastic. This book was written for fans of the show. Keeping that in mind I would not recommend it as a great read, but it was fun.

Love it

love it, it really does the happy Micheal ending justice and I'm glad in this version rafs dad stayed alive

Abuela!!!

If you’re a Jane the Virgin fan, you’ll love this. Even if you’re not Team Michael.

Fun for Jane the virgin fans

Performance and reading is great and done by two of the actors in the show. The writing itself isn’t great but it’s entertaining for fans of the show.

Fun companion book!

If you love Jane the Virgin then you will enjoy this. There isn’t anything new per say that you didn’t see already in the series, but it helps prolong the sadness of JTV ending. Especially for those of us who felt like Michael got a horrible ending off in the finale. I will agree with other reviewers though that the narration should have been by someone younger. I appreciate that they tapped Alba for the role as a nod to JTV, but she is the wrong age/tone for the story as a whole

good but

um this book is good except for the people who are narrating this book not to be mean or anything with someone who doesn't sound like my grandmother should be narrating this book to me. it just feels a little bit weird hearing some of those words

Fabulous mind candy for Jane the Virgin fans

Outstanding and playful rendition of the book Jane could have written. Narrated by her Abuela! Enjoyed it!

Yes!

I’m glad Michael & Jane got their happy ending at least in the book! So crazy!
Loved it though!

Watch Jane the Virgin for more context!

Jane the Virgin- modified

There are obviously differences between the TV show and the book that “Jane wrote”. It is a sweet story, not as complicated as the TV show, and I felt like most of the characters were better versions of themselves… More understanding, less dramatic… I think that’s just how it goes in the difference between TV show and book.

Loved it!

I Couldn’t stop to listen Snow Falling. The book came to life with Ivonne Coll and Anthony Mendez narration. Jane Villanueva is brilliant writer, author and actress.
