Summer in the Snowfall

Longtime wallflower Summer York is about to step into the spotlight…

Longtime wallflower Summer York is suffering some major impostor syndrome. Not only is she leaving Ohio to start a flashy new job as an archivist at Grand Revel Library—a new feature in the famous Revel Pointe theme park—but she’s also suddenly in an unlikely love triangle. Her high school crush, Grainger McCloskey, and her new superior, James Reve are vying for her attention at every turn.

Summer must reconcile her guilt for leaving her provincial life and bereaved father while navigating Revel Pointe politics and the dynamics of her budding workplace romance. James Reve—the brilliant and moody architect behind the Grand Revel Library—makes Summer feel beautiful and capable. The more time she spends with James, the more possibilities she can see for herself. But, his life is complicated. With the library project in the balance and a looming Christmas deadline, will James become a beast under pressure? As Summer uncovers Reve family secrets James does not know, their future seems doomed.

How can Summer possibly keep everyone happy, including herself?

Advance Praise for Summer in the Snowfall

  • It's a tried and true concept to showcase fairytales in a new light, but A.E. Merriweather proves they can still be done in 2025 in unique and brilliant ways. I was bracing myself for a cheesy re-telling of Beauty & the Beast and was happily surprised with how different and well thought out this tale turned out to be! The cover really drew me in, the colors were just holiday enough without being overt and I loved how the title even wound itself into one of the pages. I will be reading more of this author in the future! Summer's inner monologue was one of my favorite parts of this book, she was refreshingly witty, hilarious and truly relatable. She wasn't written as a pretty woman who pretends she's not pretty, she truly was an ugly duckling that became a bit of a swan and absolutely no clue because she doesn't know any different. That aspect was so unique and well done...

  • ARC REVIEW *Thank you to A.E. Merriweather and Spoonbill Publishing for an e-copy in exchange for a honest review.* I enjoyed reading this sweet Christmas romance. Although I have not read the first book, I found it was easy to understand the context and the Reve's family dynamics. I liked the Christmas setting, James and Summer's chemistry, as well as Summer's relationship with her dad. I would say that I missed a bit of banter or slow burn romance to give it a five-star review but it is just because that's what I prefer. You will definitly enjoy this book, if you like these tropes: 🎄Christmas setting 💞Love triangle 💗Love at first sight 💼Office romance 🌶️A little bit a spice

  • A light read set in Louisiana at a place that is meant to sound like Walt Disney World about the grandson to a family-run company that sounds like The Walt Disney Co. Basically a famed movie studio has a theme park and is looking to create a walk through archive experience at said theme park, with artifacts and images from their famous films and while the grandson appreciate the history he truly wants no par of the business. There is lots of playful banter between our two main characters; James and Summer though their meet-cute was a tad bit cringey to me (and so unrealistic) my introvert self could seriously never!! I am happy I stuck through and read the story because their interactions get better with every chapter! A rom-com fiction with a few mildly spicy scenes. I say heat up a hot chocolate, snuggle under a blanket and enjoy!
