The Trouble With Snowmen by Dorlana Vann Book Review
“Snowmen drift into your life like they were sent from above. The relationship is great, rolls right along, and builds. Everything seems perfect … until a little heat is introduced. Then they melt, leaving only their hat, their scarf, something to remind their victims of what they’d lost.” -excerpt from the book “The Trouble with Snowmen”
I have to say I have never quite heard of a relationship being described this way. I can relate to this, my ‘hat & scarf’ were a 3 year old and 2 week old. The pain is real and all that you want to do is in turn do it to someone else. Not that it is fair to the ‘new’ person, but you want someone else to hurt as you did/do.
Haley’s friend Maximilian tells her that her recent break-up was a ‘snowman’. From the sounds of it, it hasn’t been Haley’s first. Her friend tells her that the only way not to be played by one is to become one. But is Haley’s character able to do so? You will find out how this choice could almost ruin her chance at having a real relationship. When you pretend to be something you are not, a person will perceive what they think you are instead of who you are.
This book is a fast paced 198 page turner. I enjoyed the plot and although I haven’t read anything to date from this author, I am glad that I did. Dorlana Vann is a wonderful author and is able to bring you right in as part of the story. I love books like this.
Synopsis:
Snowmen drift into your life like they were sent from above. The relationship is great, rolls right along, and builds. Everything seems perfect … until a little heat is introduced. Then they melt, leaving only their hat, their scarf, something to remind their victims of what they’d lost.
Urban cowgirl Haley Monroe is told that the fabulously hot guy who just dumped her was a snowman. Her friend Maximilian convinces her that the only way she’ll ever stop being played by snowmen is to become one. It takes a lot of drinks to work up the nerve, but Haley gets her sexy on and goes on the prowl.
Famous horror author Larry White drops everything to attend a midnight séance at Maximilian’s apartment where he meets Haley. By the way she’s dressed—and just propositioned him—he assumes she’s a hooker. Larry can’t pass up the chance to get inside her head, especially since prostitution is the character’s occupation in his next book.
After spending the weekend together, unexpected sparks surprise both Haley and Larry. The trouble is Haley is dead-set on snowmanning the unkempt “starving artist” she met at the séance, and Larry doesn’t think he could have a real relationship with a woman with a past, so they go their separate ways.
The real fun begins when they meet again and find out neither one of them were who they thought they were. Can they reignite the flame? Or will they have a snowman’s chance in hell?
