Christmas is the perfect time to fall in love. . .

The little English town of Lullbury Bay is a magical place to spend Christmas, and for Honor Martin it is the high point of her year.

However, newcomer Jago, doesn’t share her merry mood. After the devastating loss of his father he’d be happy to never hear another Christmas carol again.

But to help his little sister replace bad memories with good ones, he reluctantly joins in the festivities. As he gets to know her teacher, Honor, could she be the one to restore his love of Christmas?

Such a joyous story, about making a new life for yourself.  

Avril, Jago and Merryn move to Lullbury Bay during the Autumn term, after having had a horrible year. They aren't looking forward to spending their first Christmas without Kenan, but know they have to try to make new memories, especially for Merryn. 

It becomes apparent within a couple of days in their new home that Lullbury Bay is  rather special location, and Honor the schoolteacher loves Christmas and is fabulous at getting Children involved and engaged.  

There is a hilarious set of miscommunications that mean the romance I was wanting, took a lot longer to happen, but it was so fun seeing everything. 

And the festivities in the run up to Christmas in this bay were just brilliant.  I especially loved the yarn bombing, and the community spirit. 

As well as really enjoying the storyline involving the RNLI, which added depth to the book and brings great awareness of such a noble group of people. 

Add in a few animal friends, some new human friends, and this is a book set at the most joyous time of year, and really does help this family get over their terrible loss.  I thoroughly enjoyed every moment I spent in Lullbury Bay. 

Thank you to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
