When Paige turns up unannounced at Wynthorpe Hall, she discovers the place she knew when she was growing up has changed beyond all recognition. She’s only planning to stay for a short time, but is quickly pulled into local life.

 

One night while driving home after delivering library books and shopping to residents she stumbles across an isolated cottage and meets Albert, its elderly and rather grumpy owner. She quickly realises there’s more to Albert than meets the eye and the same can be said for the other man she can’t seem to help running into, handsome but brooding Brodie.

 

All three of them have a secret and a desire to hide away from the world, but with Christmas on the horizon, is that really the best way to celebrate the season?

It wouldn't be Christmas without a trip to Wynthorpe Hall easily one of the most festive places in fiction. I absolutely adored catching up with the Connelly clan, seeing what ideas Angus may have to make Christmas even better than the previous amazing years, and to meet some wonderful new characters too. 

I also loved every single second of this lovely heart warming book, that I just couldn't get enough of.  I love this author so much and she always writes such marvellous stories, that I have to keep coming back for more and more.

I especially loved getting to know Albert, and seeing him come out of his shell, as Paige gets to know him.  I enjoyed Paige getting to know Brodie too, and discovering just what makes both of these men tick. 

And Paige on Anna's delivery rounds to the community, is enough to bring a smile to your face, and also gets us to meet another rather interesting character. 

I could picture so much of this so vividly, due to Heidi Swains wonderful descriptions and felt as though I was at the Hall, alongside the characters.  

It's just a gloriously warm and wonderful festive story that I heartily recommend. 

Thank you to Simon & Schuster and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
