Molly and Andrew have taken the same flight back to Ireland at Christmas time for 10 years. 10 years that led to not only a solid friendship but falling in love that neither of them expected. Until their 10th year of flying when all hell breaks loose thanks to a sudden snow storm and they don't expect to be able to get home for Christmas. But Molly is determined to make sure that Andrew gets home to his family and she gets home to hers...

I'm a sucker for the sugary sweet rom-coms and this one was just that. I love how we got to experience not only the present flight in all it's craziness, but we got to see them grow starting from their first flight and up to the 9th flight where you could truly see their love develop for each other.

Catherine Walsh's writing was absolutely lovely and captivating. Once I started reading, it was hard to stop reading. This is a book that I would absolutely recommend for any holiday rom-com lover!

4.5 stars easy - Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC for my honest and unbiased review!

You can help rewire your brain to be happy by thinking of three positive things every single day.

With that idea, I present to you three reasons why I absolutely adored this book:
1 - The author’s writing style was absolutely beautiful. The way it sucks you into the story, the way her story flows, the dry, witty banter between the characters.
2 - The characters and how unforgettable they are. Even the sidekicks/background characters are incredibly developed.
3 - The absolutely beautiful & emotional story. I went into the book expecting a rom-com type story. I left the book (after nearly completing it in one sitting) wishing for more books that hugged my soul & left me feeling blissfully happy.

Read this book. You absolutely won’t regret it.

I am a sucker for small town romances and this one checked all the boxes. Grump/Sunshine, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, just the right amount of spice, and a third act break-up that was so good and left you rooting for the main characters to realize the er of their ways!

I absolutely adored the chemistry and interaction between Blaire & Cole. She adores party planning and Christmas, while he doesn’t care about Christmas and is very analytical. She’s also on a mission to save the Holly Ridge from being merged with Winterberry Glen while he is ready to move on from Winterberry Glen. The story behind the Holly Ridge & Winterberry Glen feud was the icing on the cake.

Overall, a very fun & spicy book that is sure to get you into the holiday spirit!

Thank you Rachel for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

I keep going back and forth between 4.5 - 5 stars. I cried a lot during the book and it sent me on an emotional roller coaster.

In the UK, Hannah answers a misdialed call from the US. Davey was trying to call his potential employer because of an upcoming move to the UK.

They happen to strike up a friendship and then just before his big move, he doesn’t.

We follow Hannah as she navigates the feelings she has to when he doesn’t move, breaks off their relationship, and learns the reason why. We follow her as she dates a bloke who I found myself absolutely despising his character and just hoping for Davey to reach out to Hannah and confess his feelings. (And vice versa)

Did I mention emotional roller coaster? Did I mention tears? And lots of them? Super writing, amazing story - one that leaves you crying and yelling at the characters because you are holding onto hope even when they have none.

Thank you NetGalley & Random House for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
