This is your basic Christmastime romance novel. There was nothing bad but nothing special.

I happened to stumble across this book while looking for a currently available Christmas themed audiobook on Libby. It ended up being exactly what I needed for my drive to work.
I enjoyed the characters but Little Blade stole the show for me. I thought the romance was believable.
I think mixing Christmas romance with terrorism was a weird choice and I couldn't help but think that this book would have been more interesting if Ashley really had been who they had been looking for.
The book wasn't amazing but it was cute, had some good moments and kept me entertained. Now let's see if I can find the movie version!

DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW is a little different from Macomber's other Christmas books. I loved that this one through in some humor along with the romance. The FBI chasing down the wrong person was an addition that made this book humerous. Other reviewers are saying that it was disgusting or in poor taste in this age and time, but I disagree. We need to laugh and not be offended by so many things. If you love Christmas stories, this is a must read.

Better than I expected. Ms. Macomber is one of the best in the genre showcasing real character developmwnt.

On one hand there are no words. On the other, LOTS of words come to mind. None of them are complimentary.
Dumb. Stupid. Ridiculous. Shallow. Trite. Horrible plotting. Eye-rollingly bad. Worst use of Rom-Com Tropes ever.
This author is not a regular read for me. They aren't my cup of tea (never mind I have a large soft spot for Hallmark holiday movies and a few are based on this author's works). But I like holiday theme stories around the holidays. I know, I know. It's post holidays. But I'd forgotten I put this one on hold at the library and then it popped up as available and I thought why not. I really should have read a few other reviews and saved myself the trouble.
I mean seriously, the main characters were named Dash and Ash (well, Ashley...but still). That should have been my first red flag. But other than that it started out with your average, general tropey-ness. Forced by "comical" (I use that term lightly, because despite what the author said, I didn't laugh out loud) circumstances, our romantic heroes are forced to road trip together. Which could be fun. Except it's not. There's a do not fly order (that no one knows about), an abandoned puppy, a biker gang, teenage license plate thieves, a mechanic who thought he was abducted by aliens and the most inept FBI agents ever found on the written page. Argh. Just thinking about the whole stupid FBI plot makes me want to throw something. I've seen soap operas handle FBI plots better than this. It says a lot that I was more irritated by the agents in pursuit than I was by the idiot babbling on about his wife who he left on another planet.
But of course by the last page mistakes have been acknowledged. Job interviews have been missed but feelings have been spoken out loud. And everyone is off to enjoy a happy Christmas dinner with their loved ones. One big, neat, tidy red bow. Easily forgettable, which is probably for the best.

Read in audiobook format
How is this a #1 bestselling author? It was inane. I was expecting something silly and sappy and seasonal. Instead it was dreadful.
