A Pennymaker Tale
Young Snowden “Snow” Reynaldi is brilliant, beautiful, and alone. Though he’s shy, weird, and tolerated by the NorCal University students because he’s a renowned whiz at chess and helps put the school on the map, that doesn’t keep him from dreaming of the object of his desires: Riley Prince, championship quarterback.
When Riley needs a physics tutor, Snow jumps at the chance, and their relationship heats up―but Riley has to come out of the jock closet to get anywhere. Meanwhile, Snow’s one true friend and mentor, Professor Kingsley, marries a woman who secretly wants the chess tournament glory and money for herself. Soon after, the professor collapses and Snow finds himself underwater―literally. In a car!
Seven frat brothers from Grimm College rescue Snow just in time for his life to get even worse, and Snow discovers the one relationship he always wanted slipping away. With evil looming at every turn, Snow must survive if only to prove he’s the fairest of them all and regain the trust of his handsome prince.

By Susan65 I picked up this book because I am a huge fan of this author; and that’s it. The cover didn’t grab me, the blurb didn’t grab me, and I was hard pressed to see how a nerdy chess master and a college football quarterback could breathe new life into the tried and true college athlete vs nerd theme. But I was wrong. There was so much to this story, so much depth and plot and characterization that I was actually hard pressed to even put it down. And I didn’t put it down until I finished it.The cover and the description of Snow didn’t quite work for me. He’s a cutie, for sure, but the book constantly describes him as being more beautiful than any woman… I disagreed with that assessment and forced myself to picture him differently in my head. That, my friends, was the only bad part of this story for me. Not much of an issue than, huh?Riley and Snow’s romance is actually incidental to the whole storyline…and what a crazy story it is. We have a psycho trying to discredit and possibly kill Snow, homophobia running rampant on the college campus and especially the football team, Snow being accused of any and everything to ruin his chance at a championship and love. In a way it was over the top, but at the same time, it kept me on my toes wondering what would happen next. I was entertained….highly.The many secondary characters were just as well rounded and integral as the main guys. The wacky older woman who lived in Riley’s apartment building, the fraternity from the other college that rescues Snow, Snow’s mentor, and especially his mentors lovely lady, Anitra. My head was spinning, but I never lost interest and couldn’t wait to see how the author settled all the drama. Needless to say, it has a happy ending and I highly recommend any book by this author, including this one.

'Driven Snow' by Tara Lain By Lena Grey “Your life lies before you like a path of driven snow, be careful how you tread it cause every step will show.” ~ Lowri WilliamsIf there was ever a person who is much more than he seems, it's Snowden “Snow” Reynaldi of Tara Lain's 'Driven Snow’. True to the expression “white as the driven snow”, he is young and beautiful and virginal. However, he's also wickedly intelligent and a master's master in chess. It is a huge mistake to underestimate him, although many do. Like Snow White, Snow is innocent in many ways, especially when it comes to having intimate relationships, and therefore quite alone. But when he realizes that someone Snow has admired from afar, his prince, Riley Prince, is interested in him, he can't help but dream that his isolation is over.When Riley starts having trouble in physics, Snow decides to tutor him. Things are rough for Riley until Snow uses football to explain the relationships of physics and game strategy. It's brilliant and Riley becomes accomplished enough to pass and keep his spot on the football team. Being together leads to a few confessions, each man telling the other their feelings. Unfortunately Riley feels he has to stay in the closet because of his football career. They meet secretly and are happy until someone starts a rumor that Snow engages in sex-for-pay, which, of course, isn't true. Riley wants to believe Snow, but there is just enough doubt to convince him. Riley turns out to not be Snow's prince after all. This breaks Snow's heart. He's not sure anything could ever make up for the hurt Riley has caused him, but Snow has to keep going, for Professor Kingsley's sake if nothing else.Professor Kinglsey, a king in Snow's eyes, is also his best friend and the closest thing Snow has to family. They work so well together that Snow can't imagine anything that would come between them. He's unpleasantly surprised when the professor comes in with a woman named Amitra, who is his fiancée. Amitra is the opposite of Snow—dark hair, olive skin, and bosomy. Snow immediately dislikes her. It goes further than jealousy or losing the complete attention of Professor Kingsley. She's beautiful and obviously intelligent, but Snow has a strong sense that Anitra is not what she appears to be. Only Snow sees her as a possible wicked witch with ulterior motives. Snow's suspicions are confirmed when attempts are made on his life.Every time I read one of Tara's stories, I delight in her ability to invent such vivid, endearing characters. Snow is no exception. In fact, he may be one of the most interesting of all with his combination of innocence, courage, and loyalty. It doesn't hurt that he's so beautiful and smart either. The thing is, Snow doesn't have a conceited bone in his body and that makes me love him more than ever. When it comes to “who's the fairest one of all” it's Snow for me, hands down. I loved the Snow White references with a king, prince, Snow White, a beautiful, but wicked witch, and, of course, the seven dwarfs, in the seven fraternity brothers who gave Snow refuge in their house. There is even a fairy godmother, in this case, a fairy godfather. I totally enjoyed this story with its twists and turns and fairy tale references. I highly recommend this tale to anyone who enjoys revisiting a childhood story with a very modern twist, wonderful characters, and, of course, a happy ending. Thank you, Tara, for your modern-day take on a beloved story.Originally reviewed at Rainbow Book Reviews.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. 3.5 Stars. By V. Rundell of V's Reads This book is a contemporary M/M romance loosely-based on the Snow White fairy tale. It's the second in the Pennymaker tales series, but has no connection to the previous book, Sinders And Ash.Snowden is a college senior and a Grandmaster chess champion. He's been working toward competing in a major international tournament at which he's the favorite to win. He's held a longstanding crush on the resident BMOC, quarterback Riley Prince, who's a fan of Snow's, too.Riley needs tutoring, and Snow's the right man for that job. Through their interactions, Riley admits that he's a closeted gay man with a beard instead of a girlfriend. Riley wants to come out, so he can date Snow openly, but there's a whole lotta drama in doing so.Meanwhile, Snow's coach and closest confidante, Prof. Kingsley reveals a rapid courtship and shotgun marriage to a suspicious woman, Anitra. Anitra is a chess champion in her own right, and the decisions she's making--to withdraw Snow from the chess championships--are bizarre. Snow's afraid he'll lose his last parental figure in his life, and he's in worse trouble, especially when Anitra enlists Hunter her well-endowed *wink wink* "cousin" Hunter to keep Snow from competing...by any means necessary.As Snow and Riley explore their potential scandal tears through Snow's world, and he's even more friendless than he'd ever been. There's a bit of contortion to bring Pennymaker back to this tale. It felt more contrived than organic, especially as Eudora seemed a capable fairy godmother for this story. That said, I never had a question about who was behind the tragic events of the book. I was pretty peeved that the homophobic football players were barely even reprimanded, let alone punished for their nastiness.This book, being based on the darker tale of Snow White was much darker than the other modern fairytale. I thought it would build more depth in the characters, but I didn't feel the tension. There were a lot of plot arcs, and Snow was a pretty sympathetic character, but I didn't really sense his agency. He seemed to be a victim for so much of the book, and Riley was a wishy-washy love interest. The ending was a bit convenient, even for a fairytale. I liked the sexytimes, because they showed a good amount of sensitivity and vulnerability. I get that these are young men--barely 21 in fact, but they sometimes read as juvenile, to me.
