Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for an advance copy of this book in exchange for a review.

This is the 3rd book in a series, however, could definitely be read as a standalone.

An enjoyable story which unfolds ever so gently.

This book made me all squishy in side with how Alice fell in love.
The main story was so good and wholesome kinda old fashioned but brilliant the story unfolded as you reading it just like real life which I love in a book.
So glad it had a nice ending and can't wait to see if there's more after this one.

A good book by Suzanne. About starting over, finding yourself, and learning to love again. An enjoyable read. That will make you smile.

Haven't read any of Suzanne's books but will definitely be looking out for more. Alice take over the Flower shed after the breakdown of her marriage. She loves it and the cottage she is renovating. She meets Zac who has his own troubled past

They both enjoy each others company and spend more time together with no strings attached as Zac is starting a new job soon in Scotland.
They enjoy there time together until he leaves only to find out there's a big surprise when he comes back 3 months later to visit.
Loved all these books
Hope there will be more

I feel in love with Suzanne's Love in the Lakes series when I was luckily enough to get an early copy of the second book in the series but I'm so glad I went back to read the first. The third book telling the story of Alice and Zac is fast paced, full of love and wrapping up all those storyline you needed finishing.

I'm not going to spoil the book but awww why does it have to be the last one in the series?

Can read as a stand alone . Great to be back with new and old characters. Zac and Alice what a lovely love story both had been hurt so badly. Ending perfect. Loved the girl power with the haulage business. It was love warm feeling book . Read it Suzanne Snow really knows how to keep you wanting more.

I really enjoyed the previous book in this series - Snowfall Over Halesmere House - and so was thrilled to see there was a new one.

Having missed the first in the series (not set at Christmas) and reading the second (set at Christmas), I knew I liked her writing whether it be festive or otherwise, and this fits squarely in the middle. Set at Christmas, for the most part, but not focussed solely on the festivities.

You can read this without having read the first two book - as I did with book two - because it is its own story. But it was enjoyable to spot some of the characters I'd fallen in love with before.

No spoilers here but the relationship between Alice and her dad was lovely to read. As someone who no longer has their dad, it was really lovely to read about how much they mean to each other, and it really made me smile, even if I was sad at some points.

Once again, I absolutely adored the location and the community. That's all I want in life. I want the land and the animals and the cottage and the small neighbourhood and the handsome men. Is that too much to ask? The setting almost becomes a character in itself as it is so beautiful.

I really loved Alice. She's been through some difficult times and she's not perfect, but for me she was the perfect character. So charming and gorgeous and vulnerable and I was by her side throughout. Zac was meant to be the charming dashing hero and yes he was all of that. He just sounded so gorgeous and I would like one for Christmas please. There are other characters such as Alice's aunt Sandy, and Zac's dad Neil, but they really work around the main two. I was supportive and enjoying Alice and Zac's story from the very start to the very ened.

Yes it is a happy, cosy, romantic, fabulous story but it hits on some difficult subjects, such as pregnancy and miscarriage, grief, loneliness, and heartbreak, which makes it all real, and Suzanne has handled it so sensitively that they help compliment the good times in the story.

Okay, I know I've only read two of the three in the series, but it is really a fabulous series, and really comforting. I don't know if Suzanne is planning any more in the series but I sure hope she is, as I want to continue this story. I've grown to love the characters like they're real. I'm invested in their stories and I want to continue exploring it with them.

I received an arc from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I have really enjoyed the books in this series, and this one is a lovely emotionally satisfying, read with two lovely main characters and some well drawn subsidiary ones too.

Another lovely book from Halesmere but a fine standalone. Alice and Zac are both trying to move on with new careers and new places after heartbreaks. They aren't looking for love or a relationship but soon find each other and a friendship and romance they weren't expecting. I enjoyed this one very much.

This was a sweet story! I loved Alice and Zac! It’s a nice clean romance and that was just what I needed.
The author does a great job on each character and the story itself. You will like you are right there. Plus you don’t always see stories where the female lead is older than the male.
You can feel the love both characters have after having pasts that weren’t the best. They connected together. Something bonds them together and they can’t fight the love they have for each other!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. I have chosen to write this honest review voluntarily and it reflects my personal opinion.
This author writes lovely, gentle, clean romances and this book is no exception. It is preferable to read the previous books in the series first as the characters develop over time, and keep popping up like old friends. I particularly liked the emphasis on mindfulness in this book, the beautiful descriptions of the scenery and way of life (focusing on the seasons and working with them e.g. appreciating the cold winter air during a walk then enjoying cosying up to a fire in the evening). The romance is a bit unusual (younger guy, older woman) and I liked the clever way their 'non-dating' banter was written.
This would be a lovely series to buy for a friend as a boxed set.

Excellent… I was totally involved in the story, the characters and their lives. Emotional and poignant… beautifully written and so evocative. A truly fantastic read!
