Another sweet story from Jenny Colgan. I didn't realize it was the second in the series, but there was no problem catching up with who people were. I did however just order the first one because I am interested in the pre-story to this book. I love her details when she describes the characters and the little towns all her books are set in. They re all so homey.
Rosie was a nurse, who nursed her now boyfriend Steohen back to health. She now operates a sweet shop that was apparently her Aunt Lillian's, who now resides in an old age home. Christmas is coming, and a tragedy strikes the small village, and as if she hasn't got enough on her mind, her entire family is flying in from Australia.

Very sweet ( pun intended) story. Made me forget I was in 75 degree weather in Florida while I was reading. I was always surprised to see there was no snow on the ground when I looked up. Lipton is a village just like I imagine small little English villages to be. Friends and family, all coming together.

Utterly charming, a perfect read around holiday time. This book is well-written, has engaging characters and a good story line with a few twists. It's a lovely escape without being sugar-coated or implausible.
The bonus for me, despite having lived and worked with Brits for years, was learning lots of new to me British phrases, terms and foods.
