A BRAND NEW joyful, festive romance from BESTSELLER Jill Steeples. Perfect for fans of Cathy Bramley, Heidi Swain and Sarah Bennett. ❄️🎄
Isla Stewart has a glittering publishing career in London, but when she’s unexpectedly made redundant, she has the chance to start a brand-new chapter.
Licking her wounds, Isla heads home to the Cotswolds. Keeping her devastating redundancy a secret from her proud parents, she seeks refuge at Finch’s, the enchanting bookshop she worked in as a teenager. With the owners struggling with their health, Isla steps in to manage the shop hoping to convince them that the business has a future.
Isla likes nothing more than chatting to people about books, but her safe haven is soon disturbed when she comes face-to-face with her first love, Charlie Brace, made worse by the arrival of Guy Madley, the incredibly handsome property consultant who has advice for owners Jon and Miriam.
As Christmas approaches, Isla has decisions to make. Does her future lie in London or can a whole heap of books and a sprinkling of festive magic offer a life that she could never even have dreamed of?
Grab a hot chocolate and settle down for the perfect festive read. Essential reading for all fans of Cathy Bramley, Heidi Swain and Sarah Bennett.
This is such an uplifting and cosy read, filled with the kind of characters you genuinely want to be friends with. Jill Steeples always creates wonderful communities, and this book is no exception.
Guy is an affable, adorable romantic interest from the very beginning. He’s clearly smitten with Isla, even if she’s completely oblivious, and their interactions are so sweet and endearing. I loved watching their connection grow.
Isla has a few personal and professional challenges to work through, but the answer was right in front of her all along. It’s lovely to see her gradually come to that realisation, and I was rooting for her and for the final outcome the whole way through.
A very enjoyable read, full of warmth, charm, and gentle romance. Another delightful story from Jill Steeples.
