A Different Kind of Christmas Countdown. What happens when you meet a new person 3 weeks before Christmas and you find yourself falling in love... and yet they have told you up front that they are leaving town again on Christmas Day? Well, in this case... you have a plot (and plot device, as the countdown is given at the start of every chapter) for a romance novel. :D For the clean/ sweet crowd, know that Snow doesn't exactly shy away from the sex scenes here, and they are never of the "behind closed doors" (unless inside a freezer counts? :D) nor "fade to black". Otherwise, this was a fun Christmas novel of the various parties and sweets that flavor the season while also dealing with a couple of distinctly non-Christmas heavier issues as well. Truly an excellent work that shows Snow's skill of showing off social issues without letting them weigh a story down - and even working them into the overall theme of the given book. Finally, I love the "connective tissue" of the series such that we see the couple from the first book a few times and seem to have an indication of who at least one person in the next couple in the next book will be. Excellent tale no matter the time of year you read it, and very much recommended.
