About this listen
From crying into Santa's beard at Macy's department store, to working the bar at a historic seaside inn thousands of miles away, Ellie de Vere has been through it all this Christmas season...
When Ellie trades her hectic New York life for the twinkling lights and snow-dusted charm of her childhood village of St Tilda, it's only to help her ailing father through the Christmas rush at their cozy family inn.
But all the festive holly, crackling fires and mulled cider in the world can't prepare Ellie for who she finds waiting for her back home. Her ex best friend Liam is also in town for the holidays... and they haven't seen each other in twenty years. He's now a devastatingly handsome single father with the same Irish lilt that always made her breath catch. If only he hadn't broken her heart irreparably all those years ago...
Can Ellie forgive Liam for what he did that disastrous final night in St Tilda? And is he even the same man she used to know? As Christmas approaches and old feelings refuse to stay buried, will Ellie finally find the courage to rewrite her future?
Perfect for fans of The Holiday. A funny, sweet and insanely feel-good Christmas romance!
©2025 Debbie Johnson (P)2025 Storm PublishingThis was a very frustrating read. It’s told by the main character, Ellie, and at times it was difficult to connect with her.
Ellie lives in New York, having moved around due to her parents’ divorce when she was a teenager. Her mother remarried an American, and this caused a rift between Ellie and her father.
When Ellie hears her father is ill, she decides to fly to the UK unannounced, returning to her childhood home in Cornwall. Her relationship with her father has become distant over the years.
Ellie has a boyfriend who wants their relationship to progress, but she’s unsure. So, going to the UK seems like the perfect timing.
For some reason, Ellie keeps thinking about her best friend, Liam. They had a falling out and she cut off contact.
As she reconnects with her now grown-up friends in Cornwall, she’s surprised to bump into Liam, her childhood best friend.
Ellie faces a dilemma: Liam is now a widower and not ready to date, while her current boyfriend in the US is ready to take the next step.
Ellie ponders her options, and I found it irritating because this wasn’t a romantic comedy. The romance happened towards the end of the book. I did appreciate getting to know Ellie and Liam’s backstories, though.
Finally, we see Ellie’s two worlds collide, and she has to make a decision: stay in Cornwall or go back to the US, and with whom.
