Summary

'A cosy and heart-warming Christmas read - the perfect festive treat' Heidi Swain
'A fun and festive read' Trisha Ashley

***

Can a trip away lead you home?

After a bad break-up, eternal optimist Evie Miller has moved to the small village of Willowbrook to finally pursue her dream of opening a craft shop. Unfortunately, with money worries and an ex-boyfriend determined to track her down, her fresh start isn't going entirely to plan.

Jake Hartwood is also looking to escape his past. Haunted by the loss of his wife, he's determined not to get close to anyone again - and the last thing he wants is to be celebrating this December.

Hoping to avoid the festivities, Evie and Jake arrange to escape Christmas together as friends in Provence. But will the magic of the season change things between them?

And what happens if one of them starts to feel something more?

A little predictable

It was fairly obvious from early on in this book, where it was going. It is not going to give you any surprises but it is well written for the genre and very well performed .

A stitchers romantic delight

Oh what a charming lovely book. Listening via audible enabled me to bring images to mind if each fabric that was a described.
Putting my own love of colour and sewing to the front. And secretly wishing my own love story might play out like this one day

Tripe

Slushy & dull. Littered with use of stereotypical working class accents, which annoyed the hell out of me.

Gave up at the end. Bad character. Too rigid and repetitive

Wasted my time and expected so much more with this book having such good reviews.
