This was the first book I have read in this series, but it held up well given this.

A couple of brothers take over the local pub in a small community approaching Christmas, which causes a few ripples in the local community, especially for the co-owner of the local bakery who had previously had a no-commitments brief holiday relationship.

Compared to many romance books this is quite a slow burner, especially as both people are dealing with some baggage. This book is more about the community and events going on, and this as much a character in the books as any person.

This is an enjoyable book and I would be happy to read the other books in the series. ( )
