Review By Aethena Drake

This book is filled with delightful moments. From Freddie’s quest to find the perfect setting for a proposal to Charles’ compulsion to share stories about his orchids, every interaction showcases the charms of each character.
The narrative swings back and forth from Freddie’s perspective to that of his father Charles’ with a fluid rhythm. The contrast between their perspectives highlights both the challenges and the joys of different generations at different stages of life.
Set in the fictional country estate of Rossingly during the Christmas season, the story introduces a wide variety of personalities with interesting backgrounds. Most of the characters in this book have been introduced in earlier books from the Rossingly series, but the artfully constructed narrative allows the reader to step into this book without feeling like they have missed out on any crucial plot points from previous books.
However, the tidbits hinted at in the story are enticing enough to encourage someone to hunt down the previous books in the series while they wait in anticipation for the next addition to the series.
This is a lovely story that brings a sense of hope that people with desperate lives can build connections which bring them together in meaningful ways. If you are looking for an endearing holiday romance that leaves the reader feeling like a participant in the story rather than just an observer, this is an excellent story to sit down to a cup of tea with. Or of course your drink of choice!
