About this audiobook
After growing up in cheap motels, moving from town to town with her sister and mother, Cheyenne Christensen is grateful to be on her own. She's grateful, too, for the friends she found once her family settled in California. But she's troubled by the mystery of her earliest memories, most of which feature a smiling blonde woman. A woman who isn't her mother.
Although Cheyenne has repeatedly asked for explanations, the people who could help aren't talking. Cheyenne is set on finding answers, but without so much as a birth certificate, it won't be easy.
Things get even more complicated when her closest friend is attracted to the man Cheyenne has secretly loved for years. For Eve's sake, she decides to step aside—which lands her right in the arms of Dylan Amos, oldest and baddest of the hell-raising Amos brothers. He's the kind of guy she's sworn to avoid. She can't afford to make a mistake, not when she finally has a chance to learn who she really is and change her life for the better. But...maybe there's more to Dylan than she thought. Maybe letting him go would be a bigger mistake.

Reviews for When Snow Falls

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another great book that I just re-read with friends as they've been discovering one of my favorite authors. Her stories are believable with characters that carry the plot and cover some of societies issues.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I ended up liking this book a lot, but Novak really had me confused in the beginning. Twice while less than a hundred pages in I had to re-read the blurb and the author's note, sure I had made a mistake. Who was this Dylan guy that they mentioned? The only man we saw Chey with during that time was Joe (who I really hope will get his own HEA in a future book in the series, because the poor guy sure deserves it!). When Dylan finally showed up, though, I quickly became a fan. There were actually times when I liked him more than I liked her — to be fair, she had a lot going on with her mother dying and her troubled sister and all, but still, he deserved better than she treated him at first.
I had a hard time putting this one down. Although Chey's mother Anita garners no sympathy, the rest of the characters are well written and believable. I even ended up liking Presley, Chey's older sister, so much more than I thought I would. I don't know if she's going to get her own story or not, but I hope we at least will find out how things go for her in the future. I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the series—it can't come soon enough! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wonderfully written! Narrator takes the story and reader to extra limits .
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I am a HUGE fan of series books and tend to love them all. This series is no exception. I love the Whiskey Creek series and this one lived up to my expectation. I really enjoyed visiting Whiskey Creek and enjoyed reading Cheyenne & Dylan's Story.Cheyenne is a sweet innocent girl that has had a rough life traveling all over with her not so nice mother and sister. Chey remembers something that just doesn't sit well with her but her Mom always brushes off the questions and doesn't really give her any answers. Chey has taken on the care of her very Ill mother and also tries to lead her sister down a different path way to a better life. She has her hands full.She meets up with the town bad boy Dylan who turns out not to be such a bad boy. He's a guy that has taken on a lot of responsibility himself. He has taken on the responsibility of his brother since his Mom died and his Dad went to prison. He has his hands full just like Chey. When these two finally meet and get to know each other it doesn't take long for sparks to fly. Even though Chey has been in love with the same guy forever, who never really has noticed her, she starts to fall for the bad boy (who's not so bad). There is a lot of emotion and drama in this book. It sure does keep you turning pages. I can't wait for the next in the Whiskey Creek series
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5When Snow Falls by Brenda Novak 4 STARS This is moving story but thier are a lot of love scenes in it. Cheyenne Christensen is going through tough times. Her mother is dying of cancer and is mean to her. Her older sister is on drugs and parties. They had a tough time always moving and her moms new boyfriends. Not having enough to eat but mom always enough for boose and drugs. Cheyenne is not even sure her mom is her mom. She remembers a blond lady and having lots of toys and food. She guesses with her mom's history that she could have made it up to help her cope. Her mom favors her older sister too. Cheyenne is a 31 year old virgin she has always seen what happens to her mom especially when she sometimes hooked for money and boose. When she was high school age they came to whiskey Creek and her mom was diagnosed with cancer for the first time so they ended staying here. Which was the best thing that happened to Cheyenne she made a group of friends that are still tight and meet together every friday morning for coffee when they can. She works for her best friend at a bed & breakfast. Almost all of her friends are going on a two week vacation crusie that they have been planning over two years. Cheyenne has always had a crush on Joe. Her bestfriend decided that she was really into so after going to his gas station everyday finally asked him out. Eve has no idea that Cheyenne had a crush on him for years. After they are all gone on the cruise Joe for the first time stops by Cheyenne's house with a bottle of wine and play cards while she is taking care of her mom. He asks her out again but says she can't because of Eve. Dylan Amos sees her in the park and tells her if she ever wants to get to know what she is missing her to give him a call. Cheyenne ends up calling him and makes a excuse than he shows up and they have a booty call. She doesn't want anyone to know. sleeps with him a few times. Joe sister is also one of Cheyenne's friends and Joe calls her for help to get Cheyenne to date him. So she calls Eve on her cruise and explains whats going on and she calls Cheyenne to tell her to accept the date it wont hurt their friendship. Cheyenne is all mixed up over who she wants to see or be seen with. I was given this ebook to read in exchange of honest review from Netgalley. Harlequin MIRA (October 23, 2012) 448 pages
