Thank-You Netgalley for the ARC.
This my first book by this author and it was a really lovely story... I'll be adding more to my TBR.

Zoe is dumped on Christmas Eve... of all days... after a difficult few months she's invited on an all expenses paid Christmas Getaway to a stunning hotel in Austria with friends from her Uni-Years.
She decides to go as it would be the perfect way to move on from her disastrous Christmas of the previous year when her long-term boyfriend, Grant, had walked out on her.
The only problem is that he is going to be there too!
I wasn't sure where the story was going as there didn't seem to be a love interest for Zoe... but I continued reading and all was revealed at the end.
I read this book in one sitting as I just couldn't put it down... a real heart-warming story.

An enjoyable read, a story of love and friendship in a delightful winter setting. Perfect for a cold winter’s evening - or in my case - a sunny summer’s afternoon.

I have loved all of T.A. Williams' novels and this one was no different. From the beginning of this novel, I just knew that I was going to love it. I read this book in a day - that's how much I enjoyed it! T.A. Williams' has such an elegant writing style that it makes you want to be exactly where he's describing. And in this particular novel, it was in the Austrian Alps, skiing with friends in the freshly dropped snow, eating delicious sounding food, and curling up in the lounge as the snow drifts past the window outside with an adorable labrador puppy at your feet!

Dreaming of Christmas follows main character Zoe, after she gets an invitation from her old school friend to go to Austria for Christmas. Zoe's not the only one to have been invited, and soon she is meeting up with people that she hasn't seen in 10 whole years - plus her ex Grant, who broke up with her last year just before Christmas. Zoe's dubious at first, but soon enjoys everyone's company - including, rather surprisingly, the company of Grant. As the days go on, Zoe's impressed with Grant's more grown up behaviour and when he comes to her and asks her an important question, she is thrown into turmoil.

About half way through, I was unsure as to how the novel was going to turn out for Zoe but the closer we got to the end, I got a bit of an inkling and everything fell into place. It's a wonderfully enchanting novel, which will help you feel extra festive - even in this heatwave - and you'll soon be wishing for the colder months! The descriptions of the Christmas trees, the sparkling snow, the fairy lights as well as the Christmas market and the food made this novel an absolute delight to read. And it is possibly one of my favourites by T.A. Williams.

Overall, this was a magical and beautiful read and I highly recommend you give it a try. Thank you to the publisher for a chance to read this novel, which I have reviewed honestly.

I am a huge fan of this author and this book didn’t disappoint. One of the main things which run through most, if not all of his books, is that they feature a labrador. The lab in this one is brilliantly written.

I honestly couldn’t see where the love interest was going to come from almost until the author revealed all near the end. I like that he kept me guessing.

The setting for the story is, as always, described so well that I could almost imagine it in my head as I was reading. That the author can continually do this in his books is a testament to his story telling abilities.

Another brilliant read which goes to show that TA Williams has, hopefully, many more adventures to come.

Huge thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing a copy.

Zoe is dumped on Christmas eve by her long term boyfriend. So after a difficult year when she is invited on an all expenses paid skiing trip with her friends she thinks its the perfect getaway. What she isn't expecting is that one of these friends is her ex boyfriend and his new girlfriend....


This book is fab! If your're looking for a perfect Christmassy book then this is perfect! I think I have read nearly all of T.A. Williams books now and I am never disappointed. This one though is a personal highlight and I recommend it if you are a Christmas story fan.

A group of university friends are invited to a reunion in a ski resort over chrismas - all expenses paid by one of the group. This is almost a year since Zoe was dumped by her boyfriend of 10 years - and he will be attending the reunion too. Everyone there seems to have a secret, and Zoe takes up her old role as agony aunt to the group, but can she sort out her own life too?
