Wynter’s Trees is the home of Christmas. For the people of Wynmouth it’s where they get their family Christmas tree, and where Christmas truly comes to life.
But for Liza Wynter, it’s a millstone around her neck. It was her father’s pride and joy but now he’s gone, she can’t have anything to do with it. Until her father’s business partner decides to retire and she must go back to handle the transition to his son Ned.
When Liza arrives, she discovers a much-loved business that’s flourishing under Ned’s stewardship. And she’s happy to stay and help for the Christmas season, but then she has other plans. But will the place where she grew up make her change her mind? And can it weave its Christmas cheer around her heart…?
Underneath the Christmas Tree is the perfect festive read, promising snowfall, warm fires and breath-taking seasonal romance. Perfect for fans of Milly Johnson, Carole Matthews and Cathy Bramley.
If ever a book was destined to be made into a cosy, heart-warming,
fabulous, Hallmark Christmas move it’s this one. Heidi Swain delivers Christmas
in true style here, I have to say it’s one of my favourite festive reads this
year and one I know I will read again closer to the big day.
Wynter’s Trees sounds brilliant, and although I completely
understand why Liza hasn’t wanted to be around, she’s missed out on so much.
The festive magic is in the air, and it leaps off the page!
David, and son Ned, have been taking care of everything
at the Christmas Tree farm since Liza’s Dads death but now with retirement in mind,
David is keen to move on and let Ned buy his share. Liza is keen to move on
also, and with a plan she finally returns, hoping to convince Ned to buy her
share as well so she can fulfil her travel and career plans.
David and Ned are reluctant to have Liza sell, they truly
believe she doesn’t want to really, deep down and set about making her realise
what she will be losing. Magic must be in the air as slowly Liza is pulled back
into the festive atmosphere; she genuinely starts to see the beauty of the
season again and just how special Wynters Trees is.
Liza took a bit of warming up too, although I understood
her reasons, I thought she was perhaps a little immature and hasty, and
blinkered in her views, unwilling to listen to those that genuinely cared for
her. She seemed very determined, but I liked that she met her match in Ned. The
chemistry between the two was instant and undeniable.
I loved the craft huts and the great community it created
– what a great idea and took me away to all the fabulous Christmas markets and
craft fairs we see pop up in the run up to the season. Always nice to see some old
characters pop up again, although it is completely a standalone book.
I could honestly rave about this all day; an absolute
delight as always. You know you are in a safe pair of hands with Heidi; never
failing to bring us wonderful characters, emotional heart warming stories with
romance, community spirit and the ability to leave us feeling all warm and
cosy.
A festive hug in book form... I cannot recommend this one
enough!
