Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for Snowflakes and Cinnamon Swirls at the Winter Wonderland by Heidi Swain!
What They Say:
After calling off her engagement, Hayley, the Wynthorpe Hall housekeeper, wants nothing more than to return to her no-strings fun-loving self, avoiding any chance of future heartbreak. Little does she know, Wynbridge’s latest arrival is about to throw her plan entirely off course . . .
Moving into Wynthorpe Hall to escape the town’s gossip, Hayley finds herself immersed in the eccentric Connelly family’s festive activities as they plan to host their first ever Winter Wonderland.
But Hayley isn’t the only new resident at the hall. Gabe, a friend of the Connelly’s son Jamie, has also taken up residence, moving into Gatekeeper’s Cottage, and he quickly makes an impression on Wynbridge’s reformed good-girl.
About The Author:
Although passionate about writing from an early age, Heidi Swain gained a degree in Literature, flirted briefly with a newspaper career, married and had two children before she finally plucked up the courage to join a creative writing class and take her literary ambitions seriously. The Cherry Tree Café, her first novel, was initially released as a E-exclusive and became an Amazon bestseller. Her other titles, Coming Home to Cuckoo Cottage, Mince Pies and Mistletoe at the Christmas Market, Summer at Skylark Farm, Sleigh Rides and Silver Bells at the Christmas Fair and Sunshine and Sweet Peas in Nightingale Square are all published by Simon and Schuster UK in paperback.
What I Say:
I have become a huge fan of Heidi's books in the past 2 years. They are a guaranteed pick-me-up. Her characters are incredibly rich and realistic, you feel you know them for real after spending a few hours getting to know them.
I love how the characters are intertwined from one book to the next. Although each book is centred around a new character, we get to catch up with old friends too as we venture back to Wynbridge. I loved in this book, that we got to catch up with Anna from Sleigh Rides and Silver Bells at the Christmas Fair. It was lovely to find out what she's been up to. This also means I can expect to catch up with Hayley in a future novel!
Snowflakes and Cinnamon Swirls is a wonderful story of heartbreak, lost souls, family and finding love again. I adore the setting of Wynthorpe Hall, especially at Christmas! It makes me nostalgic for the Christmases I used to have as a child, playing in the cold, frosty air, lots of family around and delicious food everywhere! I wish I lived in a village like this and could participate in the festive fun!
Now, Hayley... What can I say? She is an amazing woman! She's a serious contender for character I'd like as my bff! She's so strong, feisty and just so loyal and lovely! I adored her! And Gabe... Swoon! I loved Angel Gabriel and his huge doggo, Bran! They brought a bit of mystery to Wynbridge with them and I loved unravelling their story. I developed quite strong feelings for Gabe as the story progressed and by the end, I gotta say, I LOVED him! A LOT!
Snowflakes and Cinnamon Swirls is a fabulous festive read, with lots of love, chosen family, yummy food and a delightful setting that you just need to get lost in. This is the perfect remedy to a long, stressful day. Grab a hot drink, a cinnamon swirl, light a candle and get lost in the pages! You won't regret it! 10/10
