'This novel warmed my soul more than a mug of tea and a round of hot buttered toast' Red Magazine 'Fabulously festive, swoonfully romantic and endlessly enjoyable - I loved it!' Isabelle Broom 'A great piece of storytelling - it swept me away' Sue Moorcroft 'Uplifting, heartwarming . . . A feel-good festive debut that sparkles with wit, warmth, romance and mystery' Ella Griffin *********************** A heartwarming festive read set in beautiful Norway - perfect for fans of Veronica Henry, Jojo Moyes and One Day in December. Jane has given up on love. She might have uncovered the news scandal of the year, but she's also been dumped by boyfriend Simon . . . and has spent the last month avoiding him at the office. With Christmas fast-approaching, Jane's heart is no closer to mending. But Jane's boss has other plans for her. She needs someone to go on a luxurious press trip to Norway to cover the story of the Trafalgar Square Christmas tree and she's selected Jane to go. Jane would much rather wallow at home than spend a week in the fjords with some ditzy bloggers, a snippy publicist, ever-cheerful colleague Ben and handsome-but-arrogant TV presenter Philip Donnelly. But as Jane throws herself into the trip and starts to enjoy herself, it seems that love hasn't quite given up on her just yet... Amid all the snow, could a gift be awaiting her underneath the mistletoe? *********************** Readers LOVE A Gift in December! 'I absolutely loved this book!!!'

Although the novel is based in the winter months and there is snow and the mention of Christmas it is a perfect all-year read. It is lighthearted, humorous in places, romantic and picturesque.
I immediately feel in love with Jane and was routing for her to let her hair down and find love. Although the novel was predominately a love story it wasn't cheesy or contained lots of steamy love scenes which I was glad about. It was beautifully written, captivated me and was heartwarming. I loved the side story of Thomas and Marit which was an unexpected bonus especially when the truth behind their love affair and the letters came to light.
This will definitely be a book I recommend and although I enjoyed reading it now I can imagine how cosy and atmospheric it would be to read it sitting by the fire in the winter.
Thank you Netgalley and Hodder & Stoughton for a copy of this charming book.
