One of my favorite Christmas’s romances this year. Interwoven stories set on an island. Cozy and Christmasy

So the very real problem I have with a Jenny Colgan book is they are too easy to pick up and not put down. This one... I read cover to cover in five hours on a very cold day. I like the characters, and the emotions feel real. It's nice to have happy endings sometimes, even though the stories have heartbreak as well. I like that on Mure, love has a lot of different faces.

Christmas week in a desolate island in northern Scotland.  And there is much to love.  Charming characters, good food, welcome friends, a few romances and some adorable children! This was just the balm that my pre-Christmas heart needed.
