A hug in a book! This brilliant book follows the story of Jenna and Jack, Jack is from New York and has moved to Starr’s Fall and and is critical of Jenna and her small store, Jenna runs the local mercantile, which is in need of some TLC and much needed income. This is a standalone book but also incorporates the stories of other characters we have been introduced to before from the small town of Starr’s Fall. Loved this book and couldn’t put it down until I knew how Jack & Jenna’s stories played out.

This is a very cute read, and follows on from the previous book in this gentle series. The characters are well developed, from the cantankerous older matriarch, to the laid back brother and interfering villagers! The challenges are not too deep and the details of daily life are well covered and the plot is driven forward through conversations and day to day actions. Life is laid back and quite rose tinted however that was just what I was after!

Snowflakes Over Starr’s Fall by Kate Hewitt is a cozy, small-town romance that, while predictable, is still an enjoyable read. The story follows Jenna, who runs the local Mercantile, and Jack, a wealthy newcomer from New York whose sharp critique of her shop sparks a frosty first encounter. What follows is a classic enemies-to-lovers arc, set against the wintry charm of Starr’s Fall. The mature protagonists and warm community atmosphere give the book a comforting feel, perfect for a seasonal read. Although the plot offers few surprises and the conflict resolves a little too neatly, it delivers exactly what you’d expect from a festive romance: heart, charm and a satisfying happily-ever-after.

Jenna, is the main focus in the third book of the Starr's Fall series.
Jenna runs the main food shop in the community but it has been failing for awhile. She knows that it's only a matter of time before her money runs out.
The arrival of Jack to the community ruffles up a few feathers, especially with Jenna. He's a hot shot from New York and it sparks tragic memories. The community embrace Jack's wealth of knowledge and understanding of business growth.
Can Jenna get over her past to help with her future?
I love this series of books, with the love, friendship and trust within the community.

A magically festive enemies to lovers romance filled with quirky characters that melted my heart. The banter is sarcastic and I enjoyed the development process. It's a highly addictive character driven story that I loved. It has a edge of it's own which is joyously romantic.

Sparks fly…sarcasm…quirky characters…a story that moves quickly…this talented author has written a page turner. Starr doesn’t like the new guy in town…they do not hit it off…what happens next? Read this novel and find out…like real life…thanks Netgalley…

Jenna has lived in Starr's Fall for most of her life, running the general store for over ten years. She might secretly dream of love and romance, but she's happy as she is. Really. That is, until the town's newest resident, ex-New Yorker millionaire investment banker Jack Wexler, breezes into her store seemingly furious they don't stock smoked salmon. Jenna is as amused as she is annoyed by this ridiculous guy who clearly doesn't realize he's not in Manhattan anymore. Jack can't believe he lost it in public, but ever since being forced to leave his high-flying career to focus on his health, he hasn't been himself. The last person he expected to be attracted to is the storekeeper he just encountered, who he might have called a shrew in a moment of temper. When they're both roped into organizing the town's Winter Wonderland parade, they're forced to work together. As Christmas approaches in magical Starr's Fall, their furious sparks start shifting into something neither of them saw coming.

After a bitter break up, Jenna returned to her home of Starr’s Fall where she has run the general store for over ten years. Sworn off love Jenna is happy as she is.
Then handsome millionaire Jack Wexler walks into the store and the sparks begin to fly but not in a good way.
Jenna thinks Jack is rude and arrogant, Jack thinks Jenna is rude and a shrew!
But Starr’s Fall is a small place and as Jack has just moved there they can’t hope to avoid meeting again. Especially when they are both asked to help organise the Winter Wonderland festival.
As Christmas approaches and the snow begins to fall will they be able to put their differences and their past hurts behind them and move forward together.

When a wealthy New York businessman moves to the small town of Starr’s Fall, he makes a bad impression on a local woman by disparaging her general store. Eventually, the town accepts him and he is tasked to use his expertise to help the town. Jenna accepts his help to improve her failing store because she is at risk of losing the business. She didn’t expect to like him or for their relationship to grow but it does. This is a lovely slow paced romance in which feelings grow and develop in spite of past mistakes and perceptions that get in the way.

I received this book via NetGalley and I’m sharing my honest review. When I requested this book, I didn’t realize it was part of a series. Fortunately, I found out before reading, so I started with the first two books. The series is set in a small town, with each book focusing on two different main characters. The other townspeople remain part of the story, making it a continuous tale where only the main characters change.

This book centers on Jenna, who runs a shop, and Jack, a former New Yorker and millionaire investment banker who’s new to Starr’s Fall. Their paths cross when they argue over the store not carrying smoked salmon.

I really enjoyed this book, especially the ending—it was really sweet. What I appreciate about the series is that each story concludes by introducing the protagonist(s) of the next book, creating a nice sense of continuity.

If you like small-town romance, I really recommend this book and the whole series. It’s best to start with the first book to get to know the community. Thank you for letting me read this book—I can’t wait for part 4 and will definitely read it when it’s available!

Really good to catch up with the residents of Starrs Fall and this time it’s Jenna’s story. After a not so positive first meeting with new resident Jack will Jenna’s life be the same. The mercantile receives a refurb and we catch up with the lives of the other fav residents.
New beginnings and new friendships and surprises from a special family member.
My thanks as always to NetGalley and Publisher Boldwood books for the early read for an honest review

This is the third in Starr's Fall series, which focuses on Jenna, a local who runs the Mercantile that her parents used to run. She butts heads with Jack, a newcomer to town. He's a hotshot stockbroker from NYC who has moved there to change his lifestyle after having a heart attack.

I enjoyed there romance as they butted heads and found new meaning to their lives. It follows along with the other locals that we've seen in previous books and moves forward their stories as well.

This is-
- a small town romance
- enemies to lovers
- dealing with difficult family histories
- slowing down to small-town life after high-powered jobs
- taking chances in life
- reconnecting with family
- dealing with a loved one's illness
- running a business in a small town

I'm enjoying this series with the cozy small-town life and romances, which center around running businesses in town. It appears that the next story is being set up for the next in the series.

Thanks to @boldwoodbooks, @netgalley, and the author for this arc.

This is my first time reading one of Kate's books, even though this is book three in the Starr's Fall Series and I have not read the other two I would say it is fine to read as a standalone though I will be going back to read the others as I really enjoyed this light hearted read. As soon as I started this read I knew it would be for me. Jenna runs a general store in a quiet town and it's slow and rustic and she knows she could be doing more but when Jack turns up and points out the obvious to her it really gets her hackles up. This infuriating outsider coming here and telling her what to do but he is handsome too. Can the two of them work out their differences and help each other see the light at the end of the tunnel. The story flowed well and was sad when it ended. Loved it. A new author I will be looking out for in the future.

I enjoyed this book, it was like a Netflix movie, the kind of book that gives you a warm hug. I loved the fact the characters were in their forties and loved the recognition of the scars life can give you by then and how they impact your decisions in life. A thoroughly enjoyable read and I look forward to the next instalment of life in this cute little town

Enjoyable next chapter in the Starr’s Fall series from Kate Hewitt. While this can be read as a standalone, many characters, including fmc Jenna have been introduced in previous books. Jenna runs the town general store, taken over after her parents retired. The store is pretty old and hasn’t kept up with modern times, as pointed out by town newbie Jack. He recently moved from NYC after health issues forced him to take a break from Wall Street. Used to the finer things in life, Jack is somewhat rude when Jenna’s store doesn’t meet his needs. They get off on the wrong foot until he offers his consultative services to turn the store around. I appreciate that this story features middle-aged ish characters (she’s 39, he’s 42). The story is chaste and cozy and an enjoyable read. Check it out.

Thank you, Boldwood Books, for providing this book for review consideration through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are solely my own.

Travel to Starr's Fall in Kate Hewitt's series - Coming Home to Starr's Fall and Playing for Keeps in Starr's Fall. Snowflakes over Starr's Fall is the third in the series and is as delightful as the first two. A good clean romance with humor and wonderful characters. A small town where everyone knows everyone's business and characters who don't mind. Because that's part of what makes Starr's Fall such a great place to live.

Releases Aug. 17th. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

"Snowflakes over Starr's Fall" is the third installment of the Starr's Fall series but it can be read as a standalone.
Jenna, who runs Millers Merchantile in Starr's Fall, has a history of heartbreak and hates changes. Jake breezes into town, a city slicker type, and turns heads and rubs Jenna up the wrong way...They both have pasts and fears but will anything serious develop between them?
The book is very predictable, as most romance novels are, but it is written in great detail with a lot of emotion and I liked that the other characters from the previous books are mentioned quite a lot and that it doesn't just focus on Jenna and Jack.

“Snowflakkes over Starr’s Fall”, by Kate Hewitt, is a heartfelt story featuring two desillusioned people who start as enemies and end up embarking in both a business renovation and an amorous relatonship.
I loved how both Jack and Jenna begin in a place of loneliness and a certain sadness and lack of hope and slowly fall in love and find some kind of bliss and redemption.
Jack is a sexy hero with that “low and rumbling voice” and the initial unfriendliness hiding a thoughtful person.
I loved how energetic Jenna faces the risk of embarassment and opens up honestly, despite the fears and insecurities.
I was moved by the sense of loneliness and emptiness in both Jack’s and Jenna lives.
The author did a great job depicting the hero’s growing isolation and loss of identity because of the career-ending situation.
The feelings of being irrelevant, expendable, easily forgotten by colleagues and “friends” because of the loss of status are real in these situations and might hurt.
I enjoyed the “flirt by fighting”, humor, friendships, the fact the leads are honest with themselves and between them.I
I also liked the initial antagonism, even hostility between the leads, how both changed and adapted throughout the story.
The Miller’s Mercantile renovation project and the general atmosphere of Starr’s Fall are also interesting.

Three and a half stars.

Jenna runs Millers Mercantile in Starr's Fall. She left home to follow a city slicker, it all went horribly wrong and she returned to Starr's Fall determined never to change for a man ever again. Unfortunately that attitude has somehow become entwined with the store and she refuses to countenance any changes, even though the store is slowly going downhill.

Jack was a Venture Capitalist in New York and made his first million by the time he was twenty. However, he has recently had a heart attack and developed a stomach ulcer. His doctor warned him he would be dead in five years unless he made some sweeping changes to his lifestyle. Jack has bought a five-bedroom architect-designed house on the lake in Starr's Fall to be closer to his mother who has Alzheimer's and is in a local care home, but without his 24/7 work work work lifestyle he is feeling bereft, and the doctor prescribed bland diet isn't helping.

When Jack wanders into Millers Mercantile looking for smoked salmon he is visibly dismissive of the old-fashioned store, the limited stock, and the general air of neglect. For her part, Jenna sees a city slicker with a Rolex and a Porsche and associates him with her ex. Words are spoken. Jack writes a one star review. Jenna trash talks him to her friends.

However, they both realise they have overstepped a line and call a truce. Jack offers to give Jenna some assistance in updating the store, and Jenna accepts.

Can a city slicker and a country mouse fall in love? Can Jack leave the bright lights and the action behind? Can Jenna get over her mistrust of city boys?

This was pleasant enough, although the conflict at the end felt a bit false and rushed.

I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.

Great read. love hearing more about these characters. I can't wait for the next one. I enjoy the Starr's falls series.
