Book Synopsis:

Halley has been running from her problems for years.

On a courier trip to Tallfors, deep in Swedish Lapland, everything is going to plan. Halley has her bag, with two precious wedding rings inside for delivery… until she doesn’t.

The only way to save the wedding is to team up with mysterious reindeer herder Bjorn, the one person who can lead her across the snowy tundra to be reunited with her bag.

On a journey of a lifetime beneath the stars, with only the reindeer and a bad-tempered stranger for company beside the fire, Halley realises that she will need to confront her past heartaches in order to let the warmth of love in once more…

A Winter Beneath The Stars is available in ebook and paperback now.  The ebook is currently only £1.99 but you can purchase a copy of both here.

My Review:

A Winter Beneath The Stars is a wonderful Christmas read that would be perfect to enjoy under a warm blanket with a hot chocolate.

The author does a fantastic job of setting the scene for this book so the reader can really picture it in their mind.  I loved the snowy imagery which seemed almost magical at times.  I felt that I could almost feel the cold and had to snuggle under my blanket to keep warm.  I would love to visit Sweden in the near future and I’d especially like to go on a sleigh ride with some reindeers as that sounded lots of fun.

The main character, Halley grew on me throughout the book as she seemed quite smug at the beginning which I found a bit annoying.  As the story continues and she finds herself out of her comfort zone she grew on me as I felt she let everyone see who she really was.  I loved the descriptions of her job though which sounded very exciting and one IdI loveto have.

This is a book that is very easy to lose yourself in for hours as you soon get caught up in the story and the wonderful snowy world the author has created.  I absolutely adored the wonderful characters and wanted to keep reading to find out more about them.  The author injects a lot of humour into the story which made me laugh out loud at times.  I really enjoyed her fabulous descriptions of Halley trying to cope in the snow especially as they seemed very real and things I’d probably do in the same situation.

This is the second book that I’ve read by this author and I can’t wait to read more from her as her books are great escapism! If you like absorbing, magical books that you can cuddle up with this Christmas then you’ll love this book.

Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Becky from Headline for my copy of this book.
