Snowfall3.5 Stars Synopsis:Mystery author Caitlin Bennett is the target of a deranged fan who progresses from mailing threatening letters and rat parts to pushing her into traffic. Against her wishes, Caitlin’s publisher asks ex-cop, Conner “Mac” McKee to provide protection for her. However, just as she begins to feel safe, the bodies of women who bear a remarkable resemblance to her are discovered and Caitlin realizes that she could be next.Review:An entertaining romantic suspense novel even if the plot is predictable. The characters are well developed and engaging. Caitlin is intelligent and independent, finding it difficult to place her trust in Mac even though he is strong and capable of protecting her. They have a tangible chemistry and their romance is sweet although they do seem to get over their differences quite quickly.The villain is seriously disturbed and even though his motive is far from original, it is fun trying to work out his identity. It shouldn’t take too long if one is following the clues.The writing is strong, the dialogue flows and there is a good buildup of tension and suspense. The ending is fast-paced but ultimately feels a little anti-climactic. In sum, Sharon Sala is a first time author for me. Even though Snowfall is a light and entertaining read, I’m not sure I would go out of my way to get another of her books. Nevertheless, if I came across one at the used bookstore, I’d definitely read it.
I really enjoyed Sharon Sala's book, Snowfall. Although I had read books written by her in another genre this book showed she was adept at her craft.Someone pushes her in front of a fast approaching truck. So begins a terrifying time for best selling author Caitlin Bennett. Someone is trying to kill her for no known reason. This book grabbed my interest from the very first and is a real page-turner. Until the final chapter of the book the reader does not know who the fiend is who is killing women that look like her. It became a real mystery who and why someone wants to take her life. A thoroughly enjoyable well-written book.
What do You think about Snowfall (2006)?
A romantic suspense that is high on the thriller side. This book grabbed my interest from the very first page and is a page-turner. The characters are well defined and develop throughout the story. The protagonists are believable and sympathetic, you feel that you know and love them. The other characters are interesting and the villain is really twisted and scary. I did not figure out who the killer was until it was revealed to us. (I am usually good at this) There were a lot of suspects. There is a gay character which some may want to know about before they read it.

Nice easy read. Perfect for sitting at a cabin in the sun! The story focuses on a woman who has been totally wrapped up in her career leaving her (ex-)husband and children while she is "taking care of business". She has made major strides in her career but has learned after a devastating situation that work is not the only thing in life. The woman decides to move to the town her children live in and to give up her international career. It takes the reader through some tough decisions and reflection from the woman redesigning her life.
