It's almost Christmas in Heritage Cove - the village tree is all lit-up, the bakery is full of festive treats, the tea rooms and waffle shack are welcoming locals inside out of the cold, and for some of the residents of the Cove, snow might not be the only thing they're wishing for this year...
Tilly is overjoyed when an estranged relative
comes to Heritage Cove wanting to make amends. But as she lets him in to her
life and Tilly’s Bits ‘n’ Pieces - the shop she owns and loves - her friends
aren’t so sure whether everything is quite as it seems.
Benjamin’s parents run Mistletoe Gate Farm,
selling Christmas trees, wreaths and mistletoe. Benjamin has always thought his
family was as firmly rooted in the ground as the rows of Norway Spruce and
Fraser Firs. But when he finds a letter that rocks his world he realises he may
not be able to do anything to prevent the changes coming their way.
Benjamin and Tilly have been falling for one
another since the summer but will family complications put an abrupt stop to
what is looking like a burgeoning romance?
With festive cheer weaving its way through
the Cove as two local favourites plan their wedding, there’s more than one
relationship that could receive a little Christmas magic…
A treat to be back in Heritage Cove, this being book 4 in
the series. Although I would highly recommend all the previous books, this can
be read as a standalone, for fans of the series you do get to catch up with all
our favourites a little, but the focus is instead on Tilly, who runs the local
gift shop.
Tilly is beyond happy when an estranged relative comes back
to the Cove to show her how he has changed. He seems keen to support Tilly with
plans for the shop. Everyone else may have misjudged him but Tilly really does
believe she see’s the best in him.
Benjamin is the pub chef who works extremely hard in
supporting his parents on their Mistletoe Farm. When their happy marriage seems
under strain, can Benjamin do anything to help or prevent things from going too
far.
Tilly and Benjamin have eyes for each other, everyone knows
it but them. Can their blossoming friendship evolve into anything more,
especially with everything that is happening in their lives?
I love how these characters get under your skin, I was fully
behind Benjamin and really felt for him when discovering the problems in his parents’
marriage. He is kind, caring and despite all the things he has to do his
concern for Tilly is so heartwarming.
Tilly is headstrong and to some extent very blinkered,
especially where matters of the heart are concerned. I can understand why she
is that way though. A kind soul, but one that could be hurt if not careful.
A lot happens throughout this book but I guarantee you will
be swept up in it and fully engrossed. I couldn’t put it down, which is pretty
standard for anything Helen writes.
With love, marriage, break-ins and break-ups, a turbulent
time this festive season but one that will ultimately lead to a warm, Christmas
story, full of heart and soul.
