About The Book
Escape to the snowy coast this Christmas with a warm festive read to melt your heart.
‘Like a big festive hug – warm, funny and oh so romantic’ – Holly Martin
It has taken Harriet years to get over the love of her life, but finally she has a dependable boyfriend, a secure job and a decent flat. As long as her thoughts never stray to Mack – the one who got away – she knows that life is good.
But when her beloved grandmother dies just before Christmas, Harriet drops everything to fly back to her childhood home: a white clapboard house nestled among the snow-covered beaches of the Hamptons, Long Island, USA.
Even in her grief, Harriet is determined to give her Grandpa and his neighbours a Christmas to remember. But her world is turned upside down when she sees Mack for the first time, and he begs her to give him a second chance…
Can Harriet forgive Mack and let him mend her broken heart? Or should she return to the safe life she came from?
Everyone LOVES Christmas by the Coast!
My Thoughts
Ready for a fun heartwarming story? Then may I suggest Christmas by the Coast? A fun feel good holiday read, perfect for anytime reading. Perfect for an afternoon escape read.
Just imagine the sandy beaches of Montauk, Long Island, the view, the crashing of the waves.
If only her old boyfriend, ex-soldier Mack Wyatt wasn’t there and more determined than ever to win her back.
Her priority while in the Hamptons is her grandfather and comforting him as he’s grieving the passing of her grandmother.
Harriet Cookson and Mack Wyatt were pen pals when he was off fighting in Afghanistan, but things moved on and Mack had a hard time adjusting to things that happened to him.
Fun, entertaining and emotional. This book has well-crafted characters, and I will be on the lookout for more by her.
