A Gift in December

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.
