While It Was Snowing (Restoring Heritage Novella Collection)

From the very first page of this book to the end I was delighted and had a fun time reading this book.I love small-town stories where the community is warm and inviting and sometimes in everyone’s business! The town of Heritage is just that type of small town. I’m enjoying getting to know many of the town folk in these books by Tari Faris. They are delightful, funny, and quirky.This latest book is a sweet story of two people dealing with self-esteem and feelings for each other that they haven’t really realized were there all along.Tari Faris is a wonderful author that I’ve recently started reading. Her book flows smoothly and is very entertaining. I loved all the characters in this story and can see great books to come from more of the community members. It was delightful, funny, yet also thought-provoking. Tari Faris wove sweet life lessons throughout this story. One of the lessons I took away from this book is that no matter what others think, we are just whom God made us and we shouldn’t try to be someone else. Also, with God’s help, we can pursue our dreams.I’m looking forward to reading more from this author! I highly recommend you pick this book up. It might touch your heart just like it did mine.

Title: While it was Snowing Author: Tari FarisCh: 10Pg: 180Series: Restoring Heritage 2.5Genre: Christian Rom Com, Christmas Rom ComRating: 4 StarsPublisher: Taris Faris I’ve been wanting Danielle’s story since we met her in You belong with me. And we finally get her story in a Christmas story. I’m normally not a fan of best friends to more but in this Christmas novella it worked. Danielle reminded me so much of myself at a young age. And like with Danielle a wise women said similar words to me that Danielle was told and they were right. I loved the sweet moment with the ornaments.This book is a perfect Christmas novella for any woman who’s every felt like a fish out of water. Or who though they had to be someone different.

I love returning to charming town of Heritage. This is wonderful friends to lovers Christmas novella. Danielle was always like a friend and sister to Gideon. Danielle has feelings for Gideon she is afraid to show her true self to him. After his sisters wedding he realizes his feelings are more. He realizes he has always loved her. Danielle is his best friend and the first person he wants to call or hear from. Now he is afraid she might not feel the same way. Danielle has hidden her feminine side she wanted to be one of boys. Gideon's feelings for her are real and he wants all of her. He loves her deeply and he does not want Danielle to fit in a box or mold. It took a snow storm for him to wake up and realize he loves her.

Ride the waves of friends to misunderstandings to happy endings in this well written beautiful love story.you won’t be disappointed! Add family love and Christmas for the win.

Fun, heartwarming and sweet. They each have their own struggles to overcome. I loved getting to know the characters. I

What a sweet Christmas novella! Fans of Tari Faris's Restoring Heritage series will love this glimpse into the love story of Gideon Mathews and Danielle "Dan" Fair. (It would also function well as an entry into the Faris catalog.) It's a sweet friends-to-more story about best friends falling for each other. It was fun to watch Gideon slowly realize his love for Danielle, while she had been pining for him for a while but tried to content herself with friendship.As always, Faris writes some great chemistry and kisses, and I can't wait to see where these two go in future novels! 4-1/2 stars.

Tari Faris always writes slam-dunk novellas. Even at a shorter length, While it was Snowing feels like a meatier, longer story. The characters have depth, the plot evokes emotions, and the reader is brought to a satisfying finish. Because I like to read a lot, but have been limited by a full schedule, it's really nice to find a novella-length story that captures the interest of a reader but can be finished without the long-term time commitment of a 90K-word novel. Unique characters, great interactions w/ existing characters from other novels in the series, and a seasonal back-drop. I recommend!

Okay, this book was adorable, and everything I love about Tari Fari's writing. She has great relatable characters, awesome on page chemistry and stories that make me smile, all wrapped up in small town charm.Though this is a novella it felt like nothing was missing, it gave you that character and story arc and I just loved seeing how Danielle and Gideon had to grow and face their own struggles. And she can write a kiss!Wouldn't change a thing, perfect Christmas Novella that wasn't over the top with Christmas cliches!

While I really love the other Restoring Heritage books, like 5 star like, this one was disappointing. It was short on plot and heavy on physical appearance and attraction. Just not that interesting.
