****4 stars
This is only one of the several Trisha Ashley books that I have read, but I have always found her books to be a solid read with lots of depth. This is a beautiful holiday book. As I am from Virginia, USA and not familiar with many of the traditions or meals cooked in this book it was entertaining as well as educational. I thoroughly loved this book. My only negative comment would be that it ended too quickly, would have liked the end to have lingered out a page or two more :)
Book Jacket Summary:
Christmas has always been a sad time for young widow Holly Brown, so when she's asked to look after a remote house on the Lancashire moors, the opportunity to hide herself away is irresistible – the perfect excuse to forget about the festivities.
Sculptor, Jude Martland, is determined that this year there will be no Christmas after his brother runs off with his fiancée and he is keen to avoid the family home. However, he will have to return by the twelfth night of the festivities, when the hamlet of Little Mumming hold their historic festivities and all of his family are required to attend.
Meanwhile, Holly is finding that if she wants to avoid Christmas, she has come to the wrong place. When Jude unexpectedly returns on Christmas Eve he is far from delighted to discover that Holly seems to be holding the very family party he had hoped to avoid.
Suddenly, the blizzards come out of nowhere and the whole village is snowed in. With no escape, Holly and Jude get much more than they bargained for – it looks like the twelve days of Christmas are going to be very interesting indeed!
