About the book
As the snowflakes fall, new love blossoms...
When teacher Florence Ashton receives a surprise inheritance, she decides to make the life-changing decision to up sticks to the charming town of Willowbury in Somerset. With a new house and a new job, she’s too busy putting down roots to think about love.
Air Ambulance pilot Sam Ellis is definitely not looking for romance either, especially not on his doorstep. When Florence, his new neighbour, complains about his noisy housemate, he feels more cross than star-crossed.
But as the nights draw in and both find themselves thrown together in Willowbury’s seasonal drama production, will they overcome their differences and allow a little bit of winter magic to fall along with the snow? And what secrets will be revealed by the box of memories Florence finds in the attic at Bay Tree Terrace?
Inheriting a house from her aunt is the last thing Florence expects, but perhaps exactly the right thing for her. New house, new life and new Florence? Except it all comes with a few bumps in the road, one of which is the noisy next door neighbours who are driving her crazy.Turns out the brothers aren't so bad and one of them is also on the handsome side.
The return to Willowbury is a step into nostalgic memories and also into a chance to make new memories and perhaps free her from past and present, which has become a stagnated reality of repetitious and unfulfilling patterns. It's time for something that makes her really happy.
Keenan gives readers an uplifting escapist read, and yes it is a jingle bell jolly one. Christmas romcoms give readers a very specific type of comfort, and if I'm being completely honest it is probably exactly what the majority of readers need right now. A bit like my mother watching a channel full of Christmas movies all the time to cheer herself up.
The author captures the smalltown feel and the community spirit that exists in places where everyone knows your name, your business and what you ate for breakfast. The kind of feeling and community that embraces Florence and gives her what she desires the most. A home, love, and people who care for her.
