Sleigh Rides and Silver Bells at the Christmas Fair by Heidi Swain



Well what can I say Heidi Swain you had me hooked from the first chapter !!!

In this wonderful tale we meet Anne who lost her Mother at the age of 8 years and at Christmas time  and with the years after it just got worse. So Anne built a wall around her working 24/7 and always at Christmas time.

We see Anna applied for a job to be a companion over Christmas , Anna never settles down and never found a place put down roots and call home.So walking into Wynthrope hall and meeting  the people who felt like they were a family is the one thing she is running away from but she had the strangest feeling that she belonged there!!!

Angus her employer was eccentric and so was many of the fellow workers. through out the book we meet the other workers : Hayley, Mick  and how they fall they way to the hall and never left. But the contact was only to the new yearend she was going to stay very low key and avoid anything to do with Christmas. Angus was alas planning the big return of the youngest sons to take over the family business, but Angus does not do anything small style which Anne starts to learn.

The Hall has its own magic and in a few days Anne had opened up to Catherine about her past and avoiding Christmas , Angus wife who could she was scared knew all she needed to do was open her heart and let the magic do the work.

When Jamie the youngest son returns he walks in full blast just like his father  and is not happy he has another face to feed, soon realises that Anne is not there to help for Christmas  and would do anything to run away from it, Anne also learns why Jamie  is finding hard to take over from his father  and on that cold night thir make a pack that Anne will fall in love with Christmas and Jamie will fall in love with the hall again.

But will Anne open up her broken  and get more than a family Christmas or will she get someone to hold her and never let her go?
