From Goodreads

An enchanting story about the magic of Christmas, the importance of family, and the joy of falling in love during the most romantic season of the year…

Christmas has always been a special time for Noelle Parker. Winter evenings spent with family and friends, drinking hot chocolate and eating cookies at her family’s cozy bakery have shaped her love for all things festive. But this year everything is changing…

The beloved bakery is facing closure and Noelle needs a miracle to save Christmas.

Determined to raise funds for the family business, Noelle sets about revamping the bakery while juggling a surprise new job, caring for the elderly and cantankerous William Harrington in his luxurious, sprawling mansion.

As Noelle melts the frostiness of the house with cake baking, snowball fights and glittering decorations, she helps William to reconnect with a romance that has spanned decades and unexpectedly finds herself falling for his grandson - the gorgeous but mysterious Alexander Harrington…

In the countdown to Christmas, can Noelle save the bakery, reunite a family and create some magical memories of her own along the way?

My thoughts

My thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this story in exchange for an honest review.  

It's some time since I grabbed a copy of this story and finally I decided it made a perfect seasonal read for Christmas.  Like all Jenny Hale's stories this one was perfect escapism with more than a hint of romance.

I enjoyed this story that told the story of Noelle who was trying to raise funds to save the family business  and do some much needed changes to it, as it was in need of a revamp.  Noelle found herself juggling this while working in a new job that she had acquired.  Life's never easy at all and Noelle was finding that this was the case for her.  Noelle finds her new job of caring for William Harrington an elderly gentleman a challenge, but she sets herself a goal of trying to make this man into a kinder more tender hearted person.  In her mission to bring about these changes, she finds herself trying to rekindle feelings that William had surpressed many years ago.  She meets a good looking young man who turns out to be William's grandson Alexander he has hidden depths that Noelle finds herself drawn to.  Can Noelle achieve all that she wants to achieve and will she find romance with Alexander or not?
