A swoon-worthy tale of second chances and Christmas magic that will have you believing in holiday miracles!

When Laura Wilde arrives at the snow-dusted English estate of Lyonscroft for Christmas, she's fleeing her sister's wedding chaos and seeking refuge in her job as a private nurse. But this enchanting manor holds secrets – not least why the devastatingly handsome heir, Nick Prince, seems determined to keep everyone at arm's length...

Nick wants nothing more than to escape Christmas and sell the family estate, but Laura's arrival changes everything. As she cares for his beloved grandmother, the spirited Princess Marilise, Laura finds herself caught between two worlds: the warmth and wisdom of an extraordinary woman with stories to tell, and the guarded heart of a man with a past he doesn’t want to talk about.

But when Laura transforms the cold, unwelcoming house into a magical Christmas wonderland, something shifts. Between unexpected dog rescues and stolen moments under the mistletoe, Laura must decide: will she play it safe and stick to her carefully ordered life, or risk everything for a love that could heal them both?

I was incredibly saddened to hear the news earlier this year that Hannah Langdon has passed away.  I have enjoyed every single one of her books and thankfully this was no exception. 

And what a Christmas book this is, I was definitely feeling really festive as I was reading it and wondering why I hadn't put my tree up yet! 

Laura is hired to be a nurse carer to Nick's grandma, Marlise who is a real character.  She is a canny older lady who knows everything that is going on at the estate and is just sorry that her son, Nick's father was such a horrible unfeeling person which has led Nick to be conflicted as to whether he wants to keep Lyonscroft. 

Also living there are various other family members and Laura gets very quickly integrated into their family life, and I found this story really found its stride when 8 year old Sofia arrives.  She is Nick's niece, and her mum has abandoned her for the extended holiday season. 

They way they all try to make Sofia welcome is really endearing, and they have the idea of making the house into an advent calendar of sorts, with a pick me up sort of gift for a member of the family.  It could picture it so clearly. 

Slowly Laura manages to melt the grinch's (Nick's) heart and more and more Christmas festivities are embraced and it was lovely to see Nick's inner child emerge. 

However both have been burnt by people in the past, and thus it is hard for them to know who they could possibly trust, and I was never completely sure I would get the ending I was hoping for. 

This is a very heartwarming and Christmassy book and that enjoyed every word of. 

Thank you to Storm Publishing and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
