When Jess Rigby lost her dad, the family coped in different ways, alone in their grief. Now, her mum seems to be going off the rails and her sister, Isla, who moved to France, is now back and determined to get the old family home on the market. But the last thing Jess wants this Christmas is for renovations to start on the house. It's sure to stir up old memories she's desperate to forget. And to make things worse, Isla seems to have hired the most obnoxious builder in the world to do the work. Jess could ignore the fact that women seem to be putty in his hands. But what she finds harder to ignore is the frisson she gets every time she squeezes past him in the mess that is now their beloved family home! Soon, the house begins to give up its secrets, some of them shocking. Can the family finally start talking and find a way to move on from the past this Christmas?

Rosie Green is the author of the much-loved, best-selling novellas in the LITTLE DUCK POND CAFE series. This is her first full-length Christmas book.

I've been completely rocked by the amazingness of this ending to the book - I mean the rest of it is of course rather special too and I can't say anything else about the end section but wow it was worth it! 

At times this is can be a fairly emotional and with a lot more depth to the characters than you may anticipate from the festive cover and title.  Which just adds to the story's awesomeness. 

I was completely hooked on the Rigby family, all of whom are still reeling from events three years ago.  And we see how they all deal with their grief, while at the same time although not being present their dad is larger than life.  

There is a potential for new love, if only an ex wasn't in the way, and just nothing seems smooth sailing for any of the characters. They are all really relatable too and I enjoyed getting to know them all. 

And if you are wanting a sprinkling of Christmas magic well there is definitely some of that present. 

This is really a tricky book to review as a lot of what I'd like to mention, I can't without revealing key things.  

Suffice to say this is a book that I adored reading, the author is as talented as always, with her fluent writing, great characters and a setting and back story too that I found utterly enticing. 

I really did just enjoy every single second of this book. 

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