I would say that this is the best book of the series which is kinda of sad, because it leaves us with questions unanswered which annoyed me.

Willa is a nurse who helped Finn's dad in his dying days, it is only because his dad left her some money in his will that Finn knows anything about Willa. His dad also gave Willa a ring and bought her a trip to Marietta, Montana for christmas before he died.

Following Willa to Marietta, Finn gets more than her bargained for. He suspects a bit of a gold digger. What he gets is a compassionate single mother with a son who is only just in remission from cancer and with big debts to pay.

The romance was sweet and it was nice to see who these characters ended connecting with the previous characters.

What did annoy me though was the added element of the rings and a necklace. We find out that at one point the Branbles had four rings and a necklace made. We find out where two of the rings are, but nothing else. This makes you think there are going to be more books to find them, however as this book was published four years ago with no other follow ups, its safe to say we will never find out what happened to them.

It is a brilliant feel good book for the holidays, which you can now find as a film too.

I already sent in my review for this title. I emailed NetGalley and they said they’re having problems with titles appearing to need feedback when it’s already been sent.

Christmas? Check.
Small town? Check. (Marietta, Montana)
Mystery? Check.

Money left to a nurse? Suspicious relatives? Reluctant undercover hero? Christmas magic? Yup, yup, yup and yup. The motives for all those in these sweet Christmas romance unfold as the romance between Willa and Finn. Layer by layer. No extreme drama but plenty of misunderstandings balanced with plenty of gaining understanding. Well developed and relatable characters and a steady plot.

Scout becomes the central character where all this revolves around...paralleling the unfolding story around him...now cancer-free, he is finding his strengths and personality, stretching his wings and finding his feet.
