A Snowy White Christmas: An Uplifting Sweet Holiday Romance Novella Kindle Edition
★★ Escape into the enchanting world of 'A Snowy White Christmas,' a heartwarming second-chance romance novella with a secret baby twist, loosely based on the beloved story of Snow White. Experience the magic of the holiday season and fall in love with this uplifting and clean holiday romance that combines the power of second chances with hidden secrets and unexpected fortunes.★★
Margaret Snow, a devoted mother, is determined to create a Christmas filled with heartwarming memories for her five-year-old daughter. Leaving behind her glamorous life as a successful model in bustling LA, she returns to her small, snowy upstate New York town to reclaim the foreclosed trailer she once called home. Accompanied by her lovable menagerie of rescue animals, including a deaf parrot and a kitten with one eye, Margaret begins a journey that will test her faith in second chances.
Little does she expect to encounter Fernando Brandt, her former high school sweetheart, who exudes charm and charisma like a true Prince Charming. As Margaret and Fernando reunite after years apart, their hearts are filled with both familiarity and the ache of past regrets. But there's an unexpected twist—they share a secret, a precious gift from their past—a daughter he never knew about.
Margaret must confront her insecurities and embrace the true gift of Christmas—unconditional love for Fernando, a billionaire hiding his wealth beneath his humble exterior. Can they overcome the challenges that drove them apart and forge a new future as a family?
This sweet and wholesome holiday novella is perfect for fans of tender love stories, the joy of rediscovery, and the miracles of the holiday season.

From the Author
There's something about going home for the holidays. Sure, Margaret Snow doesn't believe in fairy tales. But can the man of her dreams be in front of her the whole time?
This book is loosely based on a fairy tale. Can you tell which one?
I hope you love my sweet, clean and wholesome holiday romance. It's all about second chances!

- Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2016Although the plot was predictable, it was enjoyable. I loved the characters and how they intertwined. When the father, Fernando, was understanding about not being told he had a daughter, I was pleased. Sometimes life happens and we have to take a step back to see why. His forgiving heart was wonderful. When he stepped back from making millions off the new project and agreed to develop the project into something that was helpful to the community and to Margaret and Amelie's pet projects, I was smitten. Great job. Worth the read.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2023I believe this was my first read by Josie Riviera.
There were certainly lots of poplular romance tropes packed into this novella: billioniare, celebrity, second chance romance, secret baby, and small town.
Lots of elements to form a charming story, but not all the character's reactions hit quite right with me.
You may read it differently and it's on the shorter side so it won't take you long.
Perhaps that was my difficulty, that there wasn't quite enough time to flesh everything out.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2018I would encourage people to give this book a try. I, personally, was not a great fan. I've been trying to get into it but I just can't really gain that attachment to the characters as I do in other books. I'm sure I will try to read more by Josie Rivera. I'm not ruling her out as an author to watch.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2017Christmas romance is in the air. Margaret and Fernando were friends and lovers as teens, but a terrible home life and a teenage pregnancy led to her leaving town quickly. Fast forward a few years when she and her daughter come to her home town for a job and the remaining sparks burst I to flames.....never mind he has a fiancee and doesn't know he's a dad.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2020Margaret Snow ran away to California immediately after graduating from high school. She left behind her boyfriend, Fernando Brandt, without telling him where she was going.
She made a name for herself as a model when a swimsuit photo she was in appeared on the cover of a sports magazine. However, she was hoping to land an acting role and had not yet been successful. Margaret accepted a job back at home in upstate New York over the Christmas holidays to earn additional income to be used toward a special project she had planned.
Fernando, who had moved to Florida, was also back home for Christmas to donate a kidney to his brother and to work on a business venture. Once he learned that Margaret was in town, he stopped by to see her with the intention of once again trying to win her heart. However, Margaret has a secret, and seeing him made her uncomfortable.
What are the chances that this unexpected reunion will allow them let down their guard and reveal their secrets? Will those secrets stand in the way of moving forward in a renewed relationship?
You need to read this sweet novella to find out for yourself if Christmas brings about a happy ending.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2016This was a great read - the characters were believable and interacted with normal emotions just like real life. i love that there was no steamy sex just a normal relationship. I was rooting for Gabe by the end of the book and wish i could find a man like him.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2015A Snowy White Christmas was a beautifully written novella by Josie. I was delighted and satisfied at the end, and immediately went to start watching the Hallmark Christmas movies, and agree with another reviewer that this book would make a perfect movie. I would highly recommend this book for people that love romance and want the magic of Christmas in their daily lives.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2018Margaret Snow has returned home with her tail between her legs. “The only family she knew lived in a fairy tale.” She had traded a lifetime of love for “fleeting success and brief wealth. Margaret has a mountain of regrets and failures to overcome. Paying the price for independence and self-sufficiency, “she’d rather fill her apartment with abandoned animals than a roomful of designer dresses.” Once Fernando had claimed her heart but he’d been displaced by darling frail Amelie. Open and expressive, Fernando Brandt “offered her caring and security.” “He’d been the hockey star, while she was the excluded, dirt-poor outsider.” This story tackles topics such as hearing impairment, dwarfism, and sickle-cell syndrome. “In a society valuing wealth and fame, she’d succeeded. All she’d had to give in return was her integrity.” Sweet Amelie captured my heart. I enjoy reading about a heroine who learns from her mistakes and matures from “a shy, uncertain teenager to an independent woman with a mind of her own.”
