There, transported by the twinkling lights and falling snow, Bea is drawn back to a secret past - and a secret love - that she long ago tried to forget...

Mehso-so

Having loved some previous books of Amanda Prowse I was looking forward to this one but I'm left feeling a bit disappointed. The main character Bea felt a bit peachy to be honest, I think if she was my gran i would have knocked her over the balcony as no one could say anything to her without hearing a moral or a lesson to live by. Just couldn't relate to this book at all which was a shame.

Not usually a fan of cafes inside malls because they lack the cozy vibe that I enjoy in places I hang out in. But I had a cream cheese danish at this cafe the other day and I noticed they used books to decorate the place! Always a plus in my book.

A perfect christmas romance. Loved it from start to finish. Easy to read as the words just flowed which made it feel like I was part of the story.
