The Story:
It’s been a lifetime (and three seasons) in the making, but Jane Gloriana Villanueva is finally ready to make her much-anticipated literary debut!
Jane the Virgin, the Golden Globe, AFI, and Peabody Award–winning The CW dramedy, has followed Jane’s telenovela-esque life—from her accidental artificial insemination and virgin birth to the infant kidnapping and murderous games of the villainous Sin Rostro to an enthralling who-will-she-choose love triangle. With these tumultuous events as inspiration, Jane’s breathtaking first novel adapts her story for a truly epic romance that captures the hope and the heartbreak that have made the television drama so beloved.
Snow Falling is a sweeping historical romance set in 1902 Miami—a time of railroad tycoons, hotel booms, and exciting expansion for the Magic City. Working at the lavish Regal Sol hotel and newly engaged to Pinkerton Detective Martin Cadden, Josephine Galena Valencia has big dreams for her future. Then, a figure from her past reemerges to change her life forever: the hotel’s dapper owner, railroad tycoon Rake Solvino.
The captivating robber baron sets her heart aflame once more, leading to a champagne-fueled night together. But when their indiscretion results in an unexpected complication, Josephine struggles to decide whether her heart truly belongs with heroic Martin or dashing Rake.
Meanwhile, in an effort to capture an elusive crime lord terrorizing the city, Detective Cadden scours the back alleys of the Magic City, tracking the nefarious villain to the Regal Sol and discovering a surprising connection to the Solvino family.
However, just when it looks like Josephine’s true heart’s desire is clear, danger strikes. Will her dreams for the future dissolve like so much falling snow or might Josephine finally get the happy ever after she’s been dreaming of for so long?

One-word Review: MOVING
Opening Line:
Josephine Galena Valencia always did things the right way and in the right order.
My Review:
Snow Falling is so near and dear to my heart because it is based on my current favorite show, Jane the Virgin. So-naturally -- Snow Falling was an automatic pre-order the moment I found out it was coming to print.
And I am glad to say Snow Falling was worth it!
The plot Snow Falling of is intriguing to say the least. Robbery barons, murder, a crimelord, torrid affairs, true love and more! The story is set in 1902 Miami. A dreamer and hardworker who likes to play it safe, Josephine is a waitress at a prominent hotel working towards her dreams. She has a plan, for everything. Until one steamy night in a railcart with the owner of the hotel she works at, throws a wrench in her well laidout plans. With Martin.
When Josephine finds out she's pregnant with Rafe's child.
True love is put at stake. Will Josephine do what it takes to keep it? Will Josephine forsake steadfast Martin for the dashing Rafe, the father of her baby?
In Snow Falling we see the story between Martin and Josephine we should have had with Michael and Jane on the show. By the end of the book, the fans of #TeamMicheal get to see his Happily Ever After with Jane.
All in all, I ate Snow Falling right up! The story was endearing, sweet and full of love. A brillant dedication to Michael/Martin's memory.

Character Breakdown:
Martin Cadden - The perfect novel embodiment of my beloved Michael Cordero! Kind, patient, loving. Husband material.
Rake Solvino - He is the novelized verison of Rafeal Salino. He is the mysterious, rich bad boy you just can't stop yourself from fantasizing about.
“The man was tall, dark, and handsome. Way too handsome. Way too dangerous, she corrected herself as she took in the sight of him.”
