This Christmas, the villagers of Middledip are off on a very Swiss adventure…
Family means everything to Lily Cortez and her sister Zinnia, and growing up in their non-conventional family unit, they and their two mums couldn’t have been closer.
So it’s a bolt out of the blue when Lily finds her father wasn’t the anonymous one-night stand she’d always believed – and is in fact the result of her mum's reckless affair with a married man.
Confused, but determined to discover her true roots, Lily sets out to find the family she’s never known; an adventure that takes her from the frosted, thatched cottages of Middledip to the snow-capped mountains of Switzerland, via a memorable romantic encounter along the way…

When the weather outside is frightful....
you can do no better than curling up with a fabulous festive Sue Moorcroft book, and Let It Snow is just that.
And The Fire is so delightful...
... so is everything about this book, from the picturesque setting, to the family dynamics, the friendships, the potential romance, the snow, and just the way it all made me feel, utterly delightful.
And Since We've No Place To Go....
... not true at all for Lily and the rest of the Middletones, where we get to see their entire trip to Switzerland which was my favourite part of the book. I loved everything about Switzerland. the Christmas markets, the singing that the Middletones did, the cuckoo clocks, all the snow, and getting to know a couple of very key people out there.
Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow
.. what an apt title for a book that certainly does feature a large amount of snow. Doggo who had to be one of my favourite characters, loved chasing around in the snow, and I enjoyed the teenagers who couldn't resist taking part in snow ball fights. Not to mention that Let It Snow was one of the more popular tunes of the group, and thus I had it running in my head a lot!
Man it doesn't show signs of stoppin'
... the pace doesn't let up in this book, there are so many different storylines in play, romantic tensions, and there is the non stop will Lily or won't Lily reveal her true identity to her half brothers.
And I brought me some corn for poppin
... plenty of delicious food mentions, between the pub that Lily and Isaac are working in to the delights in Switzerland.
The lights are turned way down low
... Well there were some darker times as you get to grips with just why Lily is in Middledip to start with, and what her decision is doing to her family. And Isaac certainly has a tough time of it when his ex, Hayley becomes rather prominent, but not in the way you may be thinking.
Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

.. As I have been trying to say, I loved every single moment of this book, it is Sue Moorcroft at her best, its warm and cosy, the whole of the Switzerland section was fabulous, and its always great to be back in Middledip. This easily stands alone with plenty of brand new characters to get to know, and I loved all the various threads of story involved.
Really what I should just be saying is
Buy it now... buy it now... read it now!!
