My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Three and a half stars.

It's Kate's turn for romance, the marketing guru who has helped the others launch their businesses, she might look like she's got it all but really all she wants is a family. Unfortunately she seems to have a habit of picking guys with all-consuming hobbies like fishing, or golf, and after witnessing her mother's loneliness as her father spent each and every day playing with his transistors in their garden shed, she knows she doesn't want a man like that.

When her friends start complaining that the rise of Airbnb is putting their businesses at risk, because the visitors don't come to the village in the cold months and there isn't enough custom to keep them afloat Kate comes up with a novel idea, create a real life advent calendar featuring window displays of local businesses. Each night in December they will unveil a new window, hopefully generating lots of publicity and bringing in visitors. There willa lso be a walking map so visitors can visit each window in turn.

Meanwhile, Kate is faced with not one but two possible suitors, the one who looks good on paper, and the one that got away.

This is exactly what I have come to expect from this series, a fell-good romance set against a charming Yorkshire village.

I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.
