Description

A Christmas baby should give hope and joy to everyone on the starkly beautiful Scandinavian islands

While Brit awaits the arrival of her first child, a visitor to the islands threatens to reveal an uncomfortable secret from her past. To add to her woes, her partner, Sea Captain Jukka, runs his cruise liner aground the night before Christmas, just as the baby decides to be born.

Meanwhile, Alicia’s ex-husband, Liam, has made the leap of faith and moved to the islands from London to rekindle their relationship and start an exciting new business venture with her. However, a small part of Alicia’s heart still belongs to the Swedish journalist, Patrick. Two years ago, they began a passionate affair.

Alicia knows she can’t trust Patrick – his betrayals have been heartbreaking and destructive – but when Patrick is rushed to hospital in Stockholm she races to his side. Liam fears this means she still has deep feelings for the journalist.

But unbeknown to Liam, a threat hangs over Alicia and everyone she loves. With Patrick in hospital, her best friend, Brit, alone and vulnerable, how can Alicia say no to an offer made by an old and powerful nemesis?

Talk about impossible choices ...

I really enjoyed this book! I started and finished it in one day! I had a hard time thinking about putting it down😀. So I enjoyed a day of sitting in my recliner and reading! The characters drew me into their lives. Each step or misstep had me wanting to know what happened next. There were times I wanted to holler at them, laugh with them and cry with them! Well worth a day not getting anything else done‼️😀 I highly recommend this book.

This is such a wonderful series and this book is an exciting addition. The story brings emotion, intrigue, and suspense and kept my attention the whole way through. Alicia and Liam just may have a second chance when he decides to move to the islands from London. However, Patrick may still be in the picture as Alicia cannot deny she still has feelings for him despite his betrayals. The story brings forth the fact that aside from love, trust also plays a crucial part in sustaining a good relationship. This was a very good story and I enjoyed the descriptions of the islands which made me feel as if I was there seeing it for myself. A very enjoyable read!

I received a complimentary copy from Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

First off, full disclosure, I usually only read mystery or thrillers,but the setting of this book grabbed my attention.

Helena has a way of writing that draws you into the story and makes youcare about the characters. Its as if someone is sharing an incident or some gossip even, about mutual acquaintances. The characters become part of your circle.

The settings of her novels is unique. I don’t want to spoil it by telling you where, but its the first time I've read something that tajes pkace here.
Her descriptions of the places make you want to call up a travel agency and make the trip. Helena describes the places that you need to visit and you would feel at home.

I'm sure anyone a fan of this genre will live this book. If you not really a fan, try it anyways, you might be surprised, I was.
