Christmas Wishes by Sue Moorcroft

Sue Moorcroft takes a cozy love story and elevates it to a whole new level with her amazing characterisation, her beautiful descriptive locations, and her twists and turns - we know the path of true love never runs smooth - even at Christmas!

Hannah is in a dead end relationship in Stockholm, when her brother's best friend Nico (originally from Stockholm but living in the UK) walks in, sent by her brother to check up on her. He helps her re-arrange her window display and she is reminded why she had a crush on him as a child.

Hannah sees him again at her brother's wedding in the UK, and they have a moment, but it all dissapears leaving Hannah very confused. When Hannah returns to Stockholm, resolving to speak to her boyfriend about their relationship, she finds he gets in first and she not only loses her accommodation, but her beloved shop.  When her Grandmother in the UK falls and breaks her arm Hannah sees it as a sign she should go home and look after her and she returns to Middledip in the UK.

Meanwhile Nico can't stop thinking about Hannah, even though he knows she has a boyfriend, and his life takes a turn for the ever more complicated. 

Sue Moorcroft has ticked all the boxes for me. A feel good, funny, intriguing, Christmassy, love story, with amazing characters, told in a wonderful way. I finished this book after 2am as I couldn't put it down until it was finished!
