Up to Snow Good by Dani Ryan: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 

The Book

A winter holiday, small town, grumpy x sunshine romance, from Amazon Charts bestselling author of Forever My Protector. For fans of Beauty and the Beast, this novella will have you laughing out loud while also getting you in the holiday spirit.

You’d think being the best man at your friend’s wedding would be fun.

But then you’re introduced to the bride’s best friend and asked to help plan the whole affair. With said maid of honor who was extra cheery and loved weddings almost as much as she loved Christmas.

Did I mention it was a Christmas Eve wedding and I hated this time of year?

So now I was stuck in a small town called Silver Springs where everyone knew each other and insisted on spreading holiday joy working closely with a woman who I swore could be Mrs. Claus.

If that wasn’t bad enough, I was spending so much time in this town straight out of a movie that I thought I might be confused because. . . it was sort of growing on me.

Book Review

Christmas + Grumpy/Sunshine + All the Beauty and the Beast Vibes!? Yes, please! This story truly was a combination of some of my very favorite things... and I absolutely adored everything about it! Bo is a grump who doesn't like Christmas (you might say he's a little beastly) and Izzy brings the sunshine and Christmas cheer. Despite being polar opposites, the two find themselves working together as best man and maid of honor for their best friends' Christmas themed wedding, softening him up to her small town, the holidays and romance. While I wouldn't say this is direct Beauty and the Beast retelling, the vibes and references are very much there. They started out fairly subtle (I might have missed them had I not been looking) but become more obvious as the story goes on. As someone who absolutely loves Beauty and the Beast, I thought it was so perfectly woven into the story and I loved discovering all those little nods. The chemistry between Bo and Izzy was so good... the perfect slow burn (though it was a super quick read, so it didn't feel TOO slow). And of course, it has just the right amount of holiday cheer! We are also given a little peek at the MMC in the next book that has me very much looking forward to more in this series! I cannot wait. 

Up to Snow Good is a closed-door romance with kisses only.
