Sir Tristan must win back his honor. His orders from King Edward are simple: seek out the leader of Pwll Du Castle—the unmarried Lady Catrin—and demand she leaves. As Tristan is renowned for his lethal charm and handsome looks, how can she resist? But when the beautiful Welshwoman comes under siege from her covetous neighbor, Tristan finds himself fighting for her! Yet, is it a losing battle?

Together Under a Snowy Skye by Lisa Hobman #Review

 

It;s time to start thinking about some post Summer reading. To start us off, here's Together Under a Snowy Skye by Lisaa Hobman. It was published by Boldwood Books on 24th August.


After the heartbreak of a secret unrequited love, Millie Treadaway has finally found someone to spend her life with.

Harry Rose is handsome, successful and treats her like a princess. That is until Millie presents her fiancé with a surprise birthday gift, and their future is suddenly doomed.

Eight months later Millie returns to Glentorrin on the Isle of Skye for her best friend Jules’ Christmas wedding. Heartbroken, single and heavily pregnant.

Staying in Lifeboat Cottage with Jules’ brother, kindhearted Dexter, she’s given up on love and resigned herself to be the best single Mum ever.

But a shock phone call from Harry leaves her reeling and doubting herself and her decisions.

Do second chances work? Or is Dexter, right? That she deserves much more?

Can the festive spirit in Glentorrin, and a little stray Jack Russell terrier, heal her heart?

Or is she fated to remain a member of the lonely-hearts club forever?

My Thoughts

I loved returning to the Isle of Skye to catch up with some familiar settings and characters. It's really comforting to see how certain people's lives have panned out, catch up with Jules and to get to know Dexter a little more. Millie is a lovely character who you are willing her on. Treated shabbily by Harry, you just hope that she will figure out what or who will make her happy. The community pf Glentorrin gather to support her and you can totally believe in her reaction to village life.

    This is one of those books which will ease you in nicely to some winter reading. Full of romance and with some festive touches, it makes you look forward to the darker nights without being full on Christmassy. Any book with a delightful canine friend gets a vote from me. Full of friendship and family values, this is a great read to escape into.

In short: A welcome return to Glentorrin
