Amanda Hupe's Reviews > Dashing Through the Snow

Now, THIS is a fun read! Dashing Through the Snow by Debbie Macomber is a light-hearted holiday read! Ashley Davidson just wants to get home and surprise her mom. She didn’t expect to get time off from school and work, but now the airline is REFUSING to sell her a ticket. Dash Sutherland is also trying to buy an airplane ticket to get to an important job interview, but the best they can offer him is standby. Both Ashley and Dash end up at the rental car area and there is only one car left. There is only one option, for them to share the car. After much negotiation, they are on their way. Meanwhile, the FBI arrives at the airport determined to find Ashley Davidson. She is on the no-fly list for terrorism and she has managed to escape them time and again. But now that she has either a hostage or an accomplice, she will be much easier to track, but what they can’t figure out is why she would use her real name and not an alias?

This is a delightful Christmas romantic comedy! I just found out it is also a Hallmark movie, so I need to check it out. It is cheesy and unbelievable like most Hallmark stories but the characters are amazing! Dash is ex-military, Ashley is a grad student, and both completely stubborn. Their road trip does not go as expected especially with a little tag-along! Dogs always make a story better. I have to say, I laughed out loud more than once. I had to pause the audiobook during the karaoke scene because I could not stop laughing. Debbie Macomber has a way of really setting a scene!

Now the FBI part is where the cheesy part comes in. So many rights were broken, but it also led to many chuckles and gave the story a little extra zing! Allyson Ryan is the narrator and she does a wonderful job and bringing each personality to life! I rate this quick, holiday read 4 out of 5 stars.
