I really enjoy Maggie Christensen’s stories, they are heart-warming with characters that are true to life, the situations and difficulties that arise in everyday life are dealt with in loving and caring ways that bring us closer to the people that you are sure to become friends with, I loved being back in Glasgow Scotland with Bel and Matt and their families.

Alasdair McLeod lost his wife two years ago and has been struggling a bit lately, he has his two children Robbie and Fiona, who is in a wheelchair, when he meets his daughter’s headmistress Isla at his sister in laws party on Christmas Eve he starts to feel a pull towards her, like she is suffering as he is. Is it time that he moves on, how will the children and the family will feel about this? But ignoring the pull is too hard.

Isla Cameron has had her own struggles with grief in the past but has spent the last ten years being single and headmistress at the all-girls school, she loves her job and really is happy being single, but when she runs into an old friend and is invited to a Christmas party and meets one of the parents of her students the attraction is hard to ignore, maybe it is time to think about changing the way she thinks are they kindred spirits?

This is an easy ready, a page turner as Alasdair and Isla have journey to a HEA that has a few ups and downs with interfering in-laws and worrying about what Robbie and Fiona will think, but happiness is there to grab and take it they must, of course catching up with Bel and Matt was fabulous as well, Thank you MS Christensen for another great story, one that I highly recommend.

5 stars
