Anna Vere has escaped to the Cotswolds for Christmas to try to heal from her broken engagement and, far worse, her broken dreams. When her reserved room at a bed-and-breakfast is flooded, she takes up the offer of camping out in Willoughby Close, the converted stables of the nearby manor house...and is taken under the wing of sexy local carpenter Colin Heath. What starts out as merely helping a neighbor in need turns into far more as Colin and Anna share a surprisingly intense and emotional connection, weaving their own Christmas magic as they spend the holiday together.

The Penryn family have always been eccentric—living in a dilapidated castle in the wilds of Cumbria with an orchid-mad father and a classicist mother who likes to re-enact Greek myths, who wouldn’t be? Well-heeled Londoner Althea Penryn doesn’t expect a divorce and job hunt over the Christmas holidays, but her husband claims he’s done and the prenup is solid.

Story
I never expected to have to uproot my family to go live in my parents’ isolated cottage on Lost Lake. It’s twenty miles to the nearest town, an insignificant speck in endless pine forests. Nobody’s lived here for a decade. Now, I pick up a rusty pail from its nest of autumn leaves and turn to my daughter. Suddenly, I recall how I used to help my own mother pick wild strawberries up here as a little girl. Maybe, this isn’t a punishment. Maybe this place will be the making of our family.

When a misunderstanding leads Dylan to be taken into foster care, she is determined to do whatever she can to get him back.

Publisher's Summary
When Laurel West discovers her estranged sister Abby has checked herself into rehab and wants her to take care of her 14-year-old son, she doesn’t hesitate to step in. Abby was there for Laurel a long time ago, and she longs to be able to offer the same. However, as a single woman who still dreams of the fairy tale, Laurel isn’t prepared for teenage Zac’s sullen moods or silent rage. When he’s expelled from school, she decides to take drastic measures and temporarily relocate them to her great aunt’s cottage on the windswept hills of the Orkney islands north of Scotland...about as far as she can run from their problems, but will it be far enough?
From the moment they step onto the island’s shores, everything seems to go wrong...including a run-in with eccentric sheep farmer Archie MacDougall. When Zac gets in trouble at the village pub and is rescued by Archie, Laurel thinks things are only getting worse. But Archie’s suggestion of putting Zac to work on his farm might be the change he needs, and Laurel strikes up a surprising friendship with a man who is about as far from the fairy tale as she can imagine.
Can such an unlikely and impractical love bloom in such a brief moment out of reality? And will two lost and lonely souls find each other at the edge of the world?

I really liked this book and the characters. The story was nice and even though predictable, I love a good love story. Cheesy, yes I know but there it is. Oh and anything Scotland is a draw card for me.

Another Great Story Set in the UK.
I’m grateful for the story telling gift that Kate Hewitt has. This is set in a remote area but in the end love conquers the trials and tribulations of daily life. Now it’s time for me to look for another of her audiobooks.

Nice story, narrator made it hard to listen to
A very nice story, full of family and a heartfelt plot. The narrator had a nice voice but added emphasis on too many words where it wasn't needed, almost like the last word of every sentence, which caused some frustration and meant I couldn't just relax and listen.

Lovely Story
This is genuinely a lovely Christmas story, it’s really sweet. The Narrator when she does the narrating bits is difficult to listen to but she does a great Scots accent. After reading Mrswalshie’s review, I turned the speed to 1.2 and incredibly it improved everything. Still a few odd inflections in her tone but so much better. After that I loved this story.

I LOVED this delightful, feel-good Christmas story by Kate Hewitt. I am looking forward to more stories by this talented author.
The narrator Lucy Reyner brought it to life with her absolutely beautiful voice mastering the Scottish brogue & male voices. I did find the need to speed it up, which was no problem!

Lovely story but…
I could not handle listening to the narrator dragging out every syllable and over enunciating every word. After the first minute I changed the speed to 1.3x and that made it more like listening to a normal speed so from then on I really enjoyed the story.
