After reading the novella, A Kiss For Christmas, where we read how the two main characters of ,Welcome To Winterville, meet 8 years earlier, I was so excited to start reading this one. I just loved Holly and Josh right from the start and couldn’t wait to read their story. Add a wintery Christmas setting and it honestly feels like this book was written for me.
After Holly and Josh met 8 years earlier, their lives have both gone very different ways. Now, Holly is returning to Winterville to help save the town her beloved grandmother founded. Holly expected to have to work hard, but what she didn’t expect was to find Josh as the guy who is trying to buy Winterville. Although they haven’t seen or spoken to each other in 8 years, there is this instant chemistry between them they both can’t deny.
From the moment I started reading this book I was hooked. I loved everything about it. The fun, lovely, kind and interesting characters. And the very charming setting of the snow filled mountain Christmas town of Winterville. I found myself devouring these pages and in the end I read it way to fast.
Holly and Josh have this amazing chemistry, and this book definitely gave me all the feels. Holly is this smart, tough and beautiful woman who never really has had the love of a mother. The one woman she looked up to was her grandmother. So when the town her grandmother founded is being sold to a rich developer, she is determined to find a way to make sure no developer will be able to get his hands on her beloved home town. But Josh is definitely more than a rich developer. Josh, is kind and charming and makes her feel all kinds of emotions. This definitely made for some exciting moments.
The way Carrie Elks described this book was ‘It's like Hallmark, but... hotter?’. Well.. that definitely says it all. This book was very romantic, and definitely had some very hot moments.
And one more thing I loved? Throughout this book we read about some other characters. And I definitely can’t wait to read about their story. There’s just so much more about Winterville I want to read about.
‘Welcome To Winterville’ was definitely a great romance. Great characters, a gorgeous setting and some amazing chemistry. Yes, it’s about a town that loves Christmas.. But it’s definitely not necessarily a book about Christmas. And I definitely recommend it.

Holly has returned home to the town her grandmother built. Her mom and uncles are determined to sell it to make a quick buck. When Josh comes to town, after buying the town, Holly wages war in an attempt to save it. The problem lies in the fact that 8 years ago, Josh and Holly shared a wonderful few days in the very same town.
Opinion
Holy moly Batman! This was such a sweet read that I couldn't help but consume it. I love the small town feel of Winterville and the way that Josh transforms. Holly was a great character who does her best to save her beloved town. This book is a great, feel good Christmas book. I simply cannot wait for more books to be published in this series.
Many thanks to Bare Naked Words for providing me with an ARC of this book.

I absolutely loved this book. I left me feeling all warm inside. Josh gets stranded in Winterville and Holly helps him get his car sorted and gives him a place to stay. They have an intense but short time together before Josh leaves for London. He promises to stay in touch, but doesn’t, leaving Holly heartbroken. Fast forward 8 years and Josh and Holly are back in Winterville. Holly trying to save it, Josh trying to change it. Even although they are opposite sides their spark can’t be ignored and they agree to leave business out of their relationship. Misunderstandings get in their way, but it looks like nothing can keep them apart. Josh is lonely but has a good heart and finds everything he could ever want in Winterville. Holly is strong and independent but scared to open herself up to anyone but Josh won’t let her hide from him. Can’t wait for the next book in this series. Think this is probably my favorite Carrie Elks book so far.
