Book club choice for January! It was lovely to read a festive themed book over the Christmas holidays 🙂
Lucy wants to save her beleaguered PR company and has a radical idea to bag a new client. The Miller family are gathering for Christmas but there is an unexpected guest…
Snowed In For Christmas is a romantic novel with gentle family drama and comedy.
Lucy needs to secure a wealthy client in order to save her struggling company for the team who are like a family to her. She has a gift wrapped proposal and is going to hand deliver it. Ross Miller is heading home for Christmas and is ready for the usual interrogation about his private life. He has made up a girlfriend but then Lucy turns up for real!
I liked the humour of the unfolding events and mistaken identity. The tone is wonderfully light hearted but I did describe this book as vanilla. Now, I love vanilla, it’s simple, straightforward, uncomplicated. Nothing to dislike but no wow factor. There are no big surprises but the book is reassuring in its simplicity and gentle confidence.
There are some big emotions in this book. Lucy has no family left and is struggling with grief. Ross and his family have some issues to work through and communication is a major problem that drives them apart. These elements added depth to the plot and characters. I have to mention the delightful Nana Jean, a fount of wisdom and wry comment!
Snowed In For Christmas is an easy to read, festive themed book about love and families.
Book blurb
She’s snowed in with the family. The only problem? They’re not her family.
A family gathering
This Christmas the Miller siblings have one goal – to avoid their family’s well-meaning questions. Ross, Alice and Clemmie have secrets that they don’t intend to share, and they are relying on each other to deflect attention.
An uninvited guest
Lucy Clarke is facing a Christmas alone, and the prospect of losing her job – unless she can win a major piece of business from Ross Miller. She’ll deliver her proposal to his family home in the Scottish Highlands and then leave. After all, she wouldn’t want to intrude on the Miller’s perfect family Christmas.
A Christmas to remember
When Lucy appears on the Miller’s snow-covered doorstep, she is mistaken for Ross’s girlfriend. But by the time the confusion is cleared up, a storm has hit and Lucy is stuck. As everyone settles in for a snowed-in Christmas, tensions bubble to the surface and suddenly Lucy finds herself facing a big family fallout with a family that isn’t hers…
