A Kiss Under the Snow

“Romance with a Taste” is a cycle of novellas in which each story feels like an impeccable dessert: a soft, sensual “filling” and a long, pleasant aftertaste. For the audio format, the track “Kiss Under the Snow” was specially recorded as a gift to all listeners. Bright, bold male vocals add energy and heighten the emotionality of this romantic story.

Niki Sue is the author of modern novels about first love for schoolchildren and university students, and a winner of the “Eksmo.Debut” prize. She became widely known through Litnet: her texts amassed millions of reads and regularly topped youth prose charts. This novella is like an unexpected combination of caramel and mint: first it seems gentle and sweet, like Nadina’s perfectly organized life—yet then a sharp fresh note appears: Ilya, capable of breaking all her rules with just one bold look. You can hardly tear yourself away from this story.

She is the future owner of a gold medal, used to living by a schedule: excellent grades, impeccable reputation, admission to a prestigious university. He is a rebel for whom skipping classes and brazen confidence have become a habitual style. Their paths were not meant to cross, but an ordinary request to pass assignments from a homeroom teacher brings them together on one frosty winter day.

And now Nadia is at the center of rumors: her reputation starts to crumble, classmates whisper behind her back, and the graduating year that was supposed to be her victory turns into an obstacle course. Meanwhile, Ilya suddenly chooses his own game—he behaves as if Nadia is his girlfriend. What is this: an attempt to protect her, or a way to finish her off for good?
