Ash Gully #2

I do love small town romances and this one is so good, it is winter, snowing and a snowstorm traps a couple who have been friends for a long time, but underneath has there always been the want for more than friendship, will this time together finally see them discover what they could have, or will an old family feud tear them apart? Come along and meet Josephine and Angelo.
Josephine Romano is loving her job as school teacher in Ash Gully, after losing her twin brother in an accident years ago she decides that it is time to get her life back and a weekend in the snow is the best way to start, coming from a very Italian family her parents want her to marry an Italian and settle down, but she has not found the best man yet.
Angelo Rossi has grown up in Ash Gully and loves running his family pub and he loves skiing he also has eyes for the school teacher Josephine but she doesn’t seem to notice him at all, that is until a snowstorm locks them in for a couple of days and they both realise that it is time to allow that love to open up.
Josephine is thrilled and sure her parents will be as well after all Angelo is Italian but what happens is a disaster for them both as an old family feud erupts. Will Josephine and Angelo be able to convince her parents that it is time to let the past go so as they can look to a future?
This is a beautiful story, filled with emotion wonderful characters and a fabulous setting, I did very much enjoy my return trip to Ash Gully and I am hoping there will be another visit. I do recommend this one to any romance reader who loves a small town romance.
My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my copy to read and review.
