Summary

Welcome to Wychwood-on-Lea...a not-too-quaint village where frosty evenings, welcoming fires, and second chances will make this a Christmas you’ll never forget.

Anna Vere has escaped to the Cotswolds for Christmas to try to heal from her broken engagement and, far worse, her broken dreams. When her reserved room at a bed-and-breakfast is flooded, she takes up the offer of camping out in Willoughby Close, the converted stables of the nearby manor house...and is taken under the wing of sexy local carpenter Colin Heath.

What starts out as merely helping a neighbor in need turns into far more as Colin and Anna share a surprisingly intense and emotional connection, weaving their own Christmas magic as they spend the holiday together. But Anna has a secret she's scared to reveal, something that could destroy the fragile bond they've just created, and Colin knows she’s only in England for a short time. Can these two sudden soul mates risk their hearts for a love that has yet to be tried and tested?

Get swept away by this poignant and heartwarming story, set in beautiful Wychwood-on-Lea, in the English Cotswolds. And look forward to four more books set in Willoughby Close, where everyday miracles and happily-ever-afters are guaranteed.

Give the series a chance !

These are lovely little books, yes the narrator is'nt English and there's a few times she gets it wrong, but she didn't do a bad job, think some of the reviews are a bit harsh. I ended up listening to all four in a row, just a happy listen :-)

Short & sweet

Nice little short story, thought it tailed off a bit towards the end, but worth a listen.

a good, easy read

I enjoyed the story but struggled with the narrator. The voice made it a struggle to finish, especially the English accents.

okay

I didn't particularly enjoy the narration. The male lead just sounded so strange.
the story was alright but felt very rushed. There was more potential here.
