I received a complimentary copy of this book from Choc Lit through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

A tale of an old friendships, broken friendships, love and a chance to make amends and many secrets. So much going on in this sweet story. Pippa and Ethan went to school together and were bullied, this is the story of what happens later when they meet again. An enjoyable Christmas read

Morton S. Gray is a new author to me.  I was very impressed with her writing and this is a cracking story to get you into the festive mood.

Set in a lovely seaside town with a gorgeous beachfront where everyone knows everyone else and you know that even when things appear to be so so bad, there will always be friends around to help and keep you going!  I want to visit Borteen Bay!

Who doesn't love a little romantic suspense set around Christmas. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a Christmas romance.

Thank you to NetGalley, Choc Lit and Morton S. Gray for the opportunity to read and review this novel prior to publication.
