But for Liza Wynter, it's a millstone around her neck. It was her father's pride and joy but now he's gone, she can't have anything to do with it. Until her father's business partner decides to retire and she must go back to handle the transition to his son Ned.
When Liza arrives, she discovers a much-loved business that's flourishing under Ned's stewardship. And she's happy to stay and help for the Christmas season, but then she has other plans. But will the place where she grew up make her change her mind? And can it weave its Christmas cheer around her heart...?
Underneath The Christmas Tree was Decembers read for Tsundoku Squad, and I couldn’t wait to read it week on week, so devoured it in a few days! I never spoiled it though for my pals, and made notes for each week so I could still chat with them.
This year I found Heidi, and fell in love almost instantly with her books. I have now read 5, and own them all except one! Underneath The Christmas Tree is the second in the Wynmouth Series, The Secret Seaside Escape being the first, but it can be read as a standalone. I’ve been reading them in order though, and I think this one could be my favourite so far!
I love Ned! He is fighting for the top position of Heidi’s male love interests, alongside Sam from Seaside Escape. There must be something in the Wynmouth water! And Liza was such a great main character. Her bravery going back to Wynmouth, facing things she never wanted to see again. And the grief that came with it all, but the friendships new and old, it all fit into place so nicely. I fell in love with the descriptions of Wynters Trees, the lot, the views, the cabin, and Bandit stole my heart.
If you love Christmasssy feel good stories, you need to get your hands on this one asap.
Also head on back to 9th December on my blog, Instagram or Twitter to see the brilliant Q&A Heidi done for our book group at the start of the month.
