The chance to love again.
Can Hollie and Jake break down the barriers that have been holding them back from finding love and happiness, before Christmas comes around? After all, with courage, nothing is impossible…
Join top 10 bestseller Jessica Redland for a magical winter at the seaside, where love blossoms and lifelong friendships are made.
My Review:
If you’re thinking that this is going to be a cutesy little Christmas story, you couldn’t be more wrong. It’s so much more!!
Heartwarming characters that you root for along the way. Heartbreaking tragedies that will likely have you reaching for the Kleenex tissues (and more than just once). A beautiful setting both in location and space (love stories that take place in cafe’s). An adorable little dog named Mr. Pickles (so cute!). Dual timelines, an unfolding mystery and ….romance!
I loved this one so much! This is my second read by Redland and I’m happy to say that I’m definitely a fan. I’m going to need to read all of her books going forward as she includes so many emotions and interesting storylines.
This is more of a winter read than a Christmas read, in my opinion, so feel free to pick this one up any ole’ time!
Thank you to #NetGalley and #BoldwoodBooks for this fabulous ARC. All opinions expressed are my own.
