SNOW ANGEL is my personal favorite holiday Christmas story. It has all the right touches of emotion, sex, and a wonderful plot that you would usually find in a much longer tale. These two characters both have issues from the past to work out before they can truly become one. Constance had always been a foster child, and during high school she craved loved so badly she became that slutty bad girl, everyone who’s ever been to high school knows. Now she is trying to shake off that image, but the problem is she is the only one who hasn’t forgotten. Sam, on the other hand, led a charmed life until his recent divorce broke up his family and his heart. And now he has to deal with the pain of betrayal. Though they both have to learn how to trust again, both characters are wonderful, and readers will have no problem relating to these two soul mates.

SNOW ANGEL is hot, and not even a bucket of snow can cool this book down. Filled with emotion and passion, this is the seasonal short story no one is going to want to miss. Have a Very Merry Christmas!

Like all of Joey's work, this is a psychologically rich exploration of domination and submission and sexual needs. As Sam makes creative use of Christmas ornaments and gift tie to turn Constance into a living Christmas package, via the ancient arts of shibari bondage, he also teaches her enough to trust him -- and to let go of Jayna, the promiscuous teenager she was and accept the vibrant, lovely woman, well deserving of love, she has crafted from the raw materials of her sad past.

Yes, this is a hot read, with beautifully imagined bondage scenes, but it is first and foremost an old-fashioned love story, with bdsm depicted as the loving, tender relationship it should be. I can't recommend this story enough. Like all of Joey's works, it is lyrically written with a profound understanding of the dynamics of a D/s relationship and of the workings of the human heart. No other writer can capture the longings of the lonely and the broken of spirit like she can.

Christmas is more that the giving and receiving of gifts it is about faith and hope. The relationship between Constance Jayne Bradwell and Sam Coble Whitney III has emotional and physical depth. Constance a girl with a bad reputation in high school remembers Sam as the one boy who showed her respect. Sam was intrigued by Constance in high school. She had been his tutor. What draws Sam the most is the fact that she had turned her life around from the love starved foster kid to a successful woman. This drives him to get to know the woman Constance is today. The heat between these two will burn up the computer screen. Ms. Hill's inclusion of the art of Shibari will have readers panting for more. Sam knows what Constance needs and in the end gives them both pleasure.

The depth that Ms. Hill gives her characters in this quickie is amazing, something that is nearly impossible to do in such a short amount of time. You feel the heartache and joy that both characters experience in this story. You also feel the trust and love building between them, even in this short amount of time. These are just a few of the reasons I feel that Snow Angel is worthy of the Gold Star Award. This should be on everyone reading lists. Thank you Ms. Hill for a one of the best heart warming stories I have read this year. This book is most definitely a keeper.

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.

Snow Angel is a story about two people who need each other to get through the loneliness of Christmas. For Constance her high school crush comes back full force and for Sam he realizes he’s missed out on something very special. When things start moving too fast, Sam slows things down to show Constance just how special she is. Although sex is his ultimate goal, Sam wants Constance to be the receiver of pleasure instead of always being the giver.

Joey W. Hill has written a story about giving instead of receiving in the emotional and the erotic sense. This is a Christmas story with a somewhat new twist…for me anyway, but I liked it and would recommend you give it a try.

Snow Angel was in this reviewer’s opinion a short story worth the reading time. Snow Angel does leave a reader believing in the possibilities of miracles and finding love in the most unlikely of places and people.
