Blurb
A secret romance was just the start of the story�
Tucked into a crook of the Norfolk coast lies Nelson�s Bar � an idyllic village where time seems to stand still. Maddy Cracey has called this beautiful spot home all her life, as had her husband Adey � until an epic row sent him storming out into a blizzard, with no sign of him since that fateful night.
Six years on, and Maddy�s life in the village has settled into a gentle pattern with her young daughter and Great Aunt Ruthie. However, when handsome stranger Raff turns up with a handful of long-forgotten love letters, their quiet life is upended as family secrets from the past are unearthed.
As Raff and Maddy get to know each other, they grow closer and a love story of their own seems inevitable. But when Maddy receives a mysterious message, she can�t help but wonder whether her own past is as distant as she�d thought it was�
My review
I really loved this book, as I do with every one of Sue Moorcroft�s stories. She has earned her title �Queen of Christmas feelgood novels�!
The characters were great and the situations they were in gave plenty of opportunities to tug at the heart strings. I found myself needing tissues quite a few times throughout this story.
Maddy is a strong woman, she�s had to be after her husband disappeared and left her in debt. She�s caring and always puts others above her own happiness, but with Raff there seems a chance for her to find love and happiness.
I loved Raff as the hero of the story, and I especially loved that he�s an author. A fantasy author at that!
The setting really came alive and the vivid depictions of winter in Nelson�s Bar transported me there. The supporting cast were excellent, Great Auntie Ruthie especially. It�s her backstory woven through the book that leads to so many of the emotional moments.
I love an epilogue and this one rounded off the wonderful tale perfectly.
Another excellent Christmassy 5 star read.
Thanks to Netgalley for my ARC, the publishers and of course thanks Sue Moorcroft for another fantastic story.
