Holly Wynter never planned to return to Birchbrook. But when an old friend calls with a festive job opportunity, it could be just what her fledgling events business needs. So reluctantly, she agrees to return to create the world’s best festive experience at Birch Tree Farm. Even though she hates Christmas with all her lonely heart.

Paul Ryan hasn’t seen Holly for ten years, ever since that fateful day she ran away. While she dreamed of a high-flying career in the city, he stayed in Birchbrook, helping his parents run the local café. Though these days he’s been wondering if he’s meant for something bigger.

As Christmas lights twinkle across the town, old memories resurface and long-buried feelings begin to stir. But Holly can’t stay in Birchbrook, even if it might hold the key to her happiness.

Could this holiday season be the chance to finally admit they want to be – and maybe always have been – more than best friends?

My Thoughts:

Holly is struggling to start up her own events business but when she gets a call from someone in her hometown, Holly is reluctant to go home. There are things that happened back then and that is why she fled. But she really needs the business and it would really help her business plus there are people back home that she really owes an explanation to. Paul cannot believe it when Holly rocks up out of the blue, there is a powerful mix of strong feelings but also deep joy. He needs an explanation but how can he talk to her with all these feelings going on. Holly feels the same, but can they work around everything that happened in the past. Also this is just a job for Holly and she needs to return home in a few weeks. What is going to happen between them? It was a great little read to catch up with. I liked all the characters and it was the perfect romance to curl up with. This is book three of four but can be read as a standalone.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
