Elizabeth chooses to celebrate Christmas with her friend Charlotte Collins at Hunsford parsonage, also home to her cousin William Collins (Rector to Lady Catherine De Bourgh).
A sudden snowstorm, traps Mr & Mrs Collins with a parishioner, leaving Elizabeth alone.

Lady Catherine is hosting the Fitzwilliam family and Mr Darcy at Rosings. Between Lady Catherine, droning on about him marrying his cousin Anne and the drunken antics of his Fitzwilliam cousins, Darcy is having the Christmas from hell!

When Colonel Fitzwilliam discovers Elizabeth snowed in on her own, he insists she move to Rosings for her safety.

She is once again in the company of Fitzwilliam Darcy. Both still love each other, yet each think their love is unrequited due to misunderstandings.

Can Christmas provide the magic they need to understand each other and gift them a happy ending?

This is an utterly delightful tale of yearning, angst and crazy relations!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. All views expressed are my own.
