The Winter Berry House by Caroline Finn is a 2020 HQ Digital publication.

A Second chance romance with a warm holiday sparkle…

Ten years ago, a scary accident prompted Branch to leave Port London, where he lived with his grandparents.

Now he has returned home to finalize their estate and will be staying in town for longer than he has in an entire decade.

When he suddenly comes face to face with Kait, his former girlfriend, it is awkward at first, but gradually, they forge a tentative friendship. The past still has a firm hold on their prospects of future together, as the entire truth about the accident has never been fully revealed.

Kait’s friends and family express concern about her new relationship with Branch, but no one is harder on Branch than himself.

Has Branch changed? Can Kait trust him not to let her down again?

I stumbled across this book in my Overdrive library and although I had more holiday books on my schedule than I would be able to complete, the cover was so pretty I decided to check it out anyway. As it so happened, this book turned out to be a very pleasant surprise, and I’m glad I added it.

The Christmas theme runs through the story in a gentle way, as Branch decides to follow through on his grandparent’s holiday traditions. There is an undercurrent of mystery, too, because there are definitely a few misunderstandings and secrets lurking in the past that slowly rise to the surface.

Overall, this is a very enjoyable, clean, contemporary romance! I’ll be watching for more by this author!!
