This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I've previously read Christmas at Tiffany's, The Perfect Present and Christmas at Claridge's by Karen. I adored all of these so back in 2014 when I saw that she had a new book coming out I immediately pre-ordered it. I however suck and haven't found time to read it until now.
This book follows sisters Allegra and Isobel. Allegra is a workaholic. She might as well live at the office she spends that much time there. Isobel is happily married with a baby boy.
I loved Zermatt. It sounded like the most magical place, especially at Christmas time.
This story had me hooked from the first few pages. As with Karen's previous books I struggled to put it down. This book twists and turns and for the most part I didn't see them coming.
This really was a lovely story that you really should find the time to read.
