A Winter in New York

Out now!

One day in December was the first romance I've read. With it, came my love for the comfort of the HEA romances provide, granting Josie Silver a special place in my heart.

A Winter in New York does what it promises, and bring us to the magical New York during the holiday season. The book celebrates family bonds, the importance of fighting for your own voice, dealing with heavy past baggage and finding love after difficult times.

This is a sweet story, full of lovely characters and heartwarming moments. Iris and Gio have great chemistry and it's impossible not to root for their happiness.
The characters are slightly older than what it's typical in recent contemporary romances, which was a nice change, though I struggled to understand some of their choices and decisions.

Although I wanted to scream with Iris during the whole book regarding the things she was holding back, the ending wraps everything rather nicely.

Overall a cozy and tender read for the winter.
