Dig out your hard hat and gaze up at the snowflake-speckled sky in this uplifting story of friendship and second chances, perfect for fans of Phillipa Ashley and Christie Barlow.
Portia Fortescue has traded in the hustle and bustle of London to help renovate a magnificent French manor house on the beautiful island of Jersey with her boyfriend Charlie.
But what they hoped would be a blissful escape to the chateau, turns out to be more of a DIY SOS. As the winter snow sets in, the stress of restoring the derelict building begins to take its toll on their relationship. Portia has known heartbreak before, but thought she’d found her happy-ever-after with Charlie…
Then, just as all seems lost, Portia and Charlie discover the warmth of the community – the best friends anyone could ever ask for. This new life could be everything they want it to be... if only they can finish the chateau in time for its grand reopening!
It was a pleasure to be back in Jersey and seeing the familiar faces of the Boardwalk.
The second the action moved to Jersey I felt right at home amongst all the characters, even though it has been ages since I read the previous book in the series.
This definitely gave a good idea about how cold it can be on the island during the winter months, especially while renovating a run down chateau.
I loved seeing how Portia and Charlie got stuck into their new life and all the challenges that are in their way.
And the community feel to this was just lovely.
It was a real pleasure to read.
