Thank you to NetGalley, the publishing house and the author for the opportunity to read a complimentary copy of this book in return for a review based upon my honest opinion.

This author always writes really cute little romances that take you away to another place and let you vacation without leaving your home. This book is no exception it takes us to Christmas in the French Riviera, who wouldn’t want to be there. Thus book is more about family love than romance but the romance is hinted at. It was a nice quick read that made me smile. I really enjoyed learning about the French Christmas traditions as well.

I am always on the lookout for books by this author.

I absolutely adore Boldwood Books and this one was no exception! Full review to follow both here and on the blog. Unfortunately I have been dealing with some serious health issues which has limited my typing abilities. I love a good mother/daughter story and it was so lovely to see the relationship between Elodie and Gabriella play out in this book, I was so interested to see if they would repair their strained relationship and I loved it was set against a Christmas theme as well. Thank you so much for the opportunity. Truly honored.

As a toddler Elodie Jacques was abandoned by her mother and left in the care of her French grandmother, Gabriella in Dartmouth, Devon.
Now 24 years old, Elodie struggles to reconcile the deep anger for the mother she has never since seen.
When Gabriella unexpectedly announces she wants the two of them to spend Christmas and her 70th birthday in her home town of Juan-les-Pins in the South of France Elodie is thrilled.
Gabriella meanwhile has her own ulterior motives for wanting to return after 40 years, a daunting homecoming potentially filled with memories, secrets and recriminations.
With Juan-les-Pins pulsing with lights, decorations and the festive spirit, Christmas promises to be filled with fun. But when Elodie learns there is the possibility that her long absent mother may join them she hides her feelings behind a show of indifference and animosity.
Will there be the reconciliation that Gabriella longs for - or will the spirit of Christmas fail to work its magic?
