Thanks to netgalley for the chance to read this book.

Josie hates Christmas. She moves to Sunnycombe and gets a job in a bakery, that Callan runs following the death of his wife the previous Christmas. Can Josie settle in the village, enjoy Christmas again and help Callan and his daughter Mia to see that Christmas can be a happy time.

Couldn’t put it down, read in one day.

This was a wonderful book. I really enjoyed it. It has lots of little funny moments, some heartwarming moments, excellent character development and a lovely Christmassy atmosphere.

I love the relationship between Callan and Mia, in fact Mia was brilliant altogether. The way that the people in the village care for each other is marvellous. Callan and Josie each working through their issues - I liked the way that they each thought it through in their head, they weren’t magically fixed by being in a relationship.

Overall, a great book to curl up with on a cold wintery day. I definitely recommend it.

Cake, Christmas and a fluffy romance are three of my favourite things. This was really sweet story. Loved the slow, gentle way Josie and Callan fell for each other despite their individual fears about letting anyone in. Mia was adorable and I loved the mix of Sunnycombe characters like Margo, Brendon,, Lauren and Will that made the little village feel real. Oh and lots of cake talk which is always excellent. A lovely read.

I was so excited to read this book as I loved Kellie Hailes other book, 'The Bookshop at Herring Cove'. She has a great way of storytelling! This book is really heart-warming and will have you thinking of having your own family to enjoy Christmas with! Could easily see it as a Hallmark Christmas movie.
