Summary
As a child, she lost something precious at Christmas. Twenty years later, she's about to lose her heart.
Lena Carver works as her physician brother’s medical assistant, housekeeper, and cook despite her disfigurement from a childhood accident. Each year, the Christmas holidays come with contradictions - cherished memories of a mysterious encounter and painful recollections of a great loss. Lena lives with the belief that she is beyond love’s reach, until a dark-eyed cowboy arrives broken, bruised, and bent on changing her mind.
Wil Bergman wakes in a stranger’s home with a busted leg, a bullet-creased scalp, and no horse. Trail-weary, robbed, and penniless, his dreams and plans for a future are suddenly unattainable. Forced to recuperate in the home of a country doctor, he finds himself at the mercy of a surgeon whose sister’s healing touch has power to stitch up his lonely heart and open his eyes to the impossible.

Sweet, traditional, and Christmassy
Snow Angel is very sweet, and quite 'old-fashioned' in a way that has nothing to do with the period in which it is set. It is a novella filled with traditional, goodly people, all in search of a happy ending.
Despite this naive style it has been nicely written, with obvious thought given to the phrasing and descriptions. Lena's story flows smoothly, and whilst I would have preferred the resolution to have had a less 'miraculous' bent, I could tell from its tone that this audiobook was always going to be a Hallmark-movie tale.
After enjoying Bless Thine Inheritance by Sophia Holloway so much recently, I was pleased to see another historical heroine with a disability in this story. Spencer does a good job of portraying the ways in which Lena has adapted to the loss of function without ever making her seem like an invalid; even if she is convinced that society sees her that way.
The narrator, Lee Ann Howlett, has a pleasant voice that felt very much like she was reading a gentle bedtime story. I think it might have benefitted from a narrator with a more Southern accent, given the colloquial nature of the writing and quirks of local dialect, but Howlett was enjoyable to listen to and her lilting voice kept the story feeling hopeful.
This audiobook is a nice, lightweight listen which suited its format well. Novellas and short stories are notoriously tricky to balance, but this one does it well, painting a clear enough picture of the characters that we care about their fates without overreaching and leaving too much undone.
I would recommend Snow Angel to those who enjoy sweet romances and are looking for a seasonal treat. If you wait all year for the TV channel showing non-stop Christmas movies to return then you'll love this audiobook, too.
*I received this audiobook free of charge in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
