Christmas Miracles at the Little Log Cabin
Do you believe in Christmas Miracles?
Holly is looking for a change and even though not everyone agrees with her career choices, she’s determined there’s more to this life than the long hours she works as an editor in New York City. What she doesn’t expect is to meet Mitch, a recluse who’s hiding more than she realises.
Mitch does all he can to avoid human contact, spending his days in the little log cabin out in the woods behind Inglenook Falls where he owns a Christmas tree farm, so when Holly falls into his life, he’s not sure how to react. All he knows is that something needs to change if he ever wants to get his life back on track.
Along with friends Cleo and Darcy, Holly is determined to bring joy back to Mitch’s life, but will he appreciate their interference? And when a business proposition throws everything up in the air, will it do more harm than good and ruin lives forever?
Both Holly and Mitch must learn that on the surface people aren’t always what they seem…but if you dig a little deeper, they can take you by surprise.
Curl up this Christmas for plenty of snowflakes, roaring log fires, a marriage proposal, unlikely friendships and second chances as we return to the much-loved characters in the New York Ever After series.

My Review
At the beginning, I thought there was an awful lot of information just dumped into the story. Inevitably as this is book 4 in a series there needs to be some backfilling but I wonder if it might have been possible to drip-feed this to the reader rather than offloading it all at the start. This is a minor point however as the rest of the story flowed brilliantly. The setting is superb and the characters jump off the page. It has a real Christmassy feel to it without being sugary. A Christmas tree farm, a bedraggled loner who shuns society, a woman who is trying to work out what is important and of course snow. Lots of it! It's a really lovely story about broken people who begin to heal with a little Christmas miracle thrown in. The locations are so vivid I could imagine myself in the wool shop and the Inn and of course the little cabin. Food, friendship and forgiveness are the essence of this book and sum up Christmas perfectly. Now I have to go back and read the others.
