Such a wonderful Christmassy read. I sat and read it in one sitting… Fabulous.’ Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I started this with little expectations, and was so pleasantly surprised to find a book that seems more or less written just for me. Definitely more of a comfort read, but with a few serious topics thrown in and enough things going on to not feel shallow. I adored this charming Christmas story… The Kelly family – I wanted to be part of it… The story feels like a hug. Truly loved it!’ Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This story was so heartwarming and I loved all the characters. They were well developed and very relatable. The conversations around the dinner table had me reminiscing about our family dinners when I was young. I loved the detailed description of the sights, scents and sounds of Christmas in the village. What a lovely experience of the snow falling and the inspiration of the conversations with the family and friends. I loved that this story hit all the feels and had me laughing out loud. I recommend this book to propel you to Ireland and straight into the Christmas season.

I love the beautiful Irish Christmas celebrations contained in this book. They provide a traditional accompaniment to this modern Christmas story.

Shannon slips on the ice and James Cabot is there to catch her, she can’t help but wonder if he is “the one”.

I laughed and cried in equal measure… Thought-provoking and full of great characters, I’ll read more from this author. Highly recommend!’ Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Welcome to the little Irish village of Emerald Bay where the sun is shining, the locals are gossiping, and romance is in the air. But will returning home be the fresh start Imogen Kelly needs? I did use the spoiler tag, but for some reason it still shows at the moment, so I put it yet a bit farther down I found myself reading with an Irish accent for all of the dialogue and had to laugh at the irony of Shannon making fun of James’s Boston accent. I loved most of the characters - even the crabby ones (let’s face it, all communities have them). AND Napoleon with his cattitude! I just love him!!!
