This easy-reading novel is a 5-star book in my views!! I read it in a mere two days, because I could not stay away from it. If you are looking for an easy reader, that has a good plot, and an enjoyable ending, this is the book for you. It was well written, and VERY cute. The character variety was also a plus, because almost everyone could relate to one of the characters.

This book, was fun, moved at a fast paced, and never left the reader bored or dozing. It is amazing how well the author shows each character's point-of-view:

Brittany has always been overshadowed by her older sister Willow. But never more so, then when their mother opens a boarding house for college students in their home. Now Willow has a parade of older men following her around, which is ridiculous in Brittany's mind especially since Willow is only a junior in highschool (two years older than herself). But the Boarding house isn't the only place that Willow receives all the attention. Even at school Willow manages to steel the heart of Brittany's crush. To make things worse, Brittany's cousin Anne who is Willow's age comes down to live with them because of the better athletic program at their highschool, and she's not exactly the type of person that the two girls, or anyone would want to be seen with. . . anywhere. Soon, all three girls are in a race for the same guy. Of course two of them are about to be quite disappointed. Will Willow steal Larrs Peterson, the man of their dreams leaving Brittany and Anne in the dust? Perhaps Larrs will go for Brittany, who is a mere 4 years younger than him. . .Or maybe Larrs sees a special something in Anne that Willow and Brittany just missed under those awful clothes, and shoes? Read the book to find out.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book of romance!, August 13, 1999

Winter Love, Winter Wishes is a great romance novel. It's about two sisters and their cousin who comes to stay with them. The sisters' mother is starting a boarding house, meaning lots of opportunities for trouble. I've got to admit, Willow and her sister Brittany are shallow, but still lovable. Anna was my favorite character. I could relate with her. It's not easy being in a new place, but she dealt with it well. The girls go through some tough times as far as romance is concerned. But in the end it all works out and each girl finds her Prince Charming.
