The
perfect Christmas romance for fans of Karen Swan.
As the snowflakes start to fall, Holly Cove welcomes a new
tenant to the beautiful old cottage on the beach...
For lifestyle magazine journalist Tia Armstrong, relationships,
as well as Christmas, have lost all their magic. Yet Tia is up against a
Christmas deadline for her latest article 'Love is, actually, all around...'
So, Tia heads to Holly Cove where the restorative sea air and
rugged stranger, Nic, slowly but surely start mending her broken heart.
Tia didn't expect a white Christmas, and she certainly never
dared dream that all her Christmas wishes might just come true...
Set in Caswell Bay on the stunningly beautiful Gower Coast, the
cottage nestles amid the limestone cliffs and the woodlands, where the emotions
run as turbulently as the wind-swept sea.
As cosy as a marshmallow-topped mug of cocoa, fall in love with
a heart-warming festive story from the bestselling author of The French
Adventure.

My Review:
A beautiful, warm and cosy read that drew me in immediately.
I couldn’t put in down. There is stunning, descriptive settings and wonderful
characters who will keep you amused and take you on an emotional journey. Although
a festive read it is much more and a book that would be well received at any
time of year.
Our main character Tia is one that you see develop
throughout, I can empathise with her situation and I liked her attitude and
approach to life when settled in Holly Cove. I think she is a character any
reader would fully support and want the best for – it’s obvious that she and
Nic are destined to help each other through their different, but equally as
troublesome personal and emotional issues and I thought it interesting how
their relationship developed at a steady pace, with ups and downs and plenty of
tension that kept me hooked. I genuinely wasn’t sure if this was a relationship
that would ever go the distance.
I loved the array of
other characters, each adding something extra to the book. Some you couldn’t stand
and were wary of immediately but then some I adored like Max – I thought he
added something special. I really did not figure out some of the revelations
towards the end either.
A very addictive book that looks at a whole host of issues;
grief, loss, families and relationships and all the varying challenges that someone
can have to face. Although it does deal with some serious and emotional things,
it is heart-warming and definitely one to cosy up with.
