Product Description

'The short, snappy dialogue moves along at speed, keeping the storyline twisting and turning nicely. This 'Sex Lite' skiing romp is no Jackie Collins, more of an Agatha Christie-meets-Mills&Boon on a James Bond set.' - Irish Independent.

The story; Lucy and Claire were once best friends but after a row, they haven't spoken in ten years. Imagine their shock when they are thrown together, not only in the same ski resort in the French Alps but in the same chalet. Then they are snowed in, together with two attractive men and a couple with relationship issues, which puts both their friendship and their survival skills to the test.

NOTE TO AMERICAN READERS: This book has British spelling and grammar as is written and spoken in Europe, Ireland included, which might look like spelling errors. Example: Cosy (British) spelling, cozy (American spelling), realise (British spelling), realize (American spelling) and so on. The heroines are Irish and it would seem strange if they spoke American English.

Fresh and Fun
By Helen Smith
This is an enjoyable romantic comedy about two Irish girls who fell out when they lived together in Ireland, and who meet again years later, many miles away, in unusual circumstances. Their fortunes have changed and they are both now facing new challenges. Will they turn on each other again or will they help each other? And will either of them ever find the right man and fall in love?

The cast of supporting characters in the story are well-developed, and they and the two main characters, Lucy and Claire, have just the right combination of real-life flaws and charm to keep the reader hoping that things will turn out well for all of them as events unfold in the French alps.

The warmth, humour and insight in Fresh Powder make this book an enjoyable, memorable read. Recommended.

Wonderful from start to finish! Highly recommended!!!
By MFC928
This book came up as a suggested item from Amazon based on my previous selections. If you enjoy Sophie Kinsella and Lauren Weisberger's novels, I highly recommend this book by Susanne O'Leary. It was delightful from start to finish. Set primarily in a European ski village, the book is filled with fascinating and quirky characters who gather at the chalet of a mutual friend for several weeks. I had a hard time putting this book down and it definitely has the potential to be made into a wonderful holiday film, like Love Actually. It was a pleasure start to finish-the perfect book to take on a winter holiday.

Like A Breath of Fresh Air, er, Powder
By RJ Parker
FRESH POWDER is a beautiful romantic comedy about Lucy & Claire, two girls from Ireland who recently met up again in the French Alps, after having a fallen out several years ago. The story has real life events that can wedge their friendship yet again, or bring them closer together and it glows with humor and warmth. The book is well-written with likeable characters. Highly recommended. '
