As the snowflakes start to fall, Holly Cove welcomes a new tenant to the beautiful old cottage on the beach...
For lifestyle magazine journalist Tia Armstrong, relationships, as well as Christmas, have lost all their magic. Yet Tia is up against a Christmas deadline for her latest article 'Love is, actually, all around'...
So Tia heads to Holly Cove where the restorative sea air, and rugged stranger Nic, slowly but surely start mending her broken heart.
Tia didn't expect a white Christmas, and she certainly never dared dream that all her Christmas wishes might just come true...
Set in Caswell Bay on the stunningly rugged Gower Coast, the cottage nestles amid the limestone cliffs and the woodlands; the emotions run as turbulently as the wind-swept sea.

What a charming story, which kept me entertained from start to finish.
I loved getting to discover the Gower Coast an in particular Holly Cove which sounded lovely. I enjoyed getting to know the locals to the area, especially Max and Nic.
I especially was interested in both Tia's friendships between Max and also Nic, and she was gaining different things from both men.
Tia is still coming to terms with the loss of her mother, but through it there is a silver lining, she is back in touch with her brother, and may start getting to know her estranged niece.
This whole book had a lovely heartwarming feel to it, and although its predominately set throughout the year, it does a bit of a festive slant to it, with Tia writing articles for the November, December and January issues of the magazine she writes for in the early summer. The various couples she interviews are all interesting and I liked how Tia was able to draw people into her, and get them chatting.
This does mean the book doesn't need to be saved for when you are doing your Christmas reading and can easily be enjoyed year round.
There were plenty of unexpected moments in the book which kept me wondering whether I had missed any vital clues. Plenty of secrets to uncover and there is a scene of high drama that me on the edge of my seat.
It is a very enjoyable read and I look forward to more from Lucy Coleman in the future.
Thank you to Aria and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
