I'm so glad there's a sequel! Because the ending had me wanting more, a perfect cliffhanger ending for a sequel.This book is such a Christmas treat, which will fill you up with love, happiness, cheer, delight and joy, as it warms your heart on a cold winter's day. If you love Christmas books set in Ireland, with a wonderful audiobook narrator who portrays a fantastic Irish accent, then this is the book for you! I did use the spoiler tag, but for some reason it still shows at the moment, so I put it yet a bit farther down I really loved and adored this book, and it really cheered me up, as it is uplifting and full of humour. I recommend it highly. If there is one book you have to buy this Christmas, then this is the one! You won't be disappointed!

If you're looking for a slow read with some holiday feels, this is a good choice. I didn't love how much focus there was on the past, or how slow the romance felt, but the characters were enjoyable enough to read about, and there are a lot of family feels that readers may enjoy. Shannon Kelly just went through an unexpected break up with her boyfriend. It wasn’t the outcome she was expecting, so she is wondering if she will ever find true happiness. Christmas is going to arrive whether she is ready for it or not. The twinkle lights, the hot chocolate and the joy of the season isn’t exactly what she wants right now.

Shannon shows James around Emerald Bay and the more time they spend together, the more Shannon realizes that maybe this Christmas won’t be so bad after all.Full of warmth, family, community, hidden secrets and a heart warming romance, this book has become one of my festive favourites. Vernal writes a truly beautiful and magical book, where you really feel you know the characters and you are in their little Irish village with them. In Emerald Bay, we meet many quirky residents that are guaranteed to make you smile and laugh at their antics and expressions. Once arriving, Shannon has an embarrassing moment.
