As a teenager, Constance had looked for love in the wrong place, spending moments with awkward males hoping for intimacy, but all she found was casual sex. Now as an adult all she wanted was to wake up on Christmas morning in someone's arms and knowing, for just that one moment, that she was the most important person in his life. She wanted to be swept away and trust her happiness to that person. At this late hour on Christmas Eve at Christmas party filled with couples there was no chance her dream would come true.

Seeing her standing there all alone, "Santa" called Constance to come and tell him what she wanted for Christmas. On a whim, she joined him on the dais, sat on his knee and told him her deepest wish. Afterwards, she slipped away into one of the smaller bathrooms to avoid not only him, but also everyone else.

Sam Coble couldn't believe his luck; he had taken the job as Santa on a whim and never dreamed it would give him one of his Christmas wishes. He had wanted Constance when they were teenagers, but could never work up the courage to ask her out. Now fifteen years later, he was going to get a chance. After surprising her in the bathroom, he tells her that this "Santa" is going to see to her request personally. He asks her to give him one night with no-strings-attached and she agrees.

What possessed her to say yes to Sam's request? Constance couldn't believe she said yes, but there was no way she could say no either. After all, casual sex with no intimacy was better than being alone on Christmas. Of course, no-strings-attached sex is never really without strings and in the glow of Christmas lights, Sam and Constance find a love to last a lifetime.

Snow Angel is a remarkably moving story. I found myself crying and desperately wishing Constance's wish would come true. Then Sam entered the picture, just as emotionally wounded and searching and instinctively I knew they would both find what they were seeking. Yet their journey to happiness is what makes Snow Angel so amazing and so unforgettable. Ms. Hill's tale is full of emotion, palpable sexual tension and some of the hottest sex I have ever read, not to mention interesting uses for ornaments and Christmas ribbon. *gg*

If you only buy one book this Christmas season, make it Snow Angel; you won't regret it.
