#Review #NetGalley #LetItSnow #ChristmasRead
After the end of a long-term relationship, local weather girl Bea Armstrong has been avoiding her family, and their inevitable 'I-told-you-sos.' But with Christmas fast approaching, she is finally on her way home to Charis House, the school in Sherwood Forest that her mum and dad run in their old family home. And to top it all off, the insufferable Henry Fairfax – who her parents have always wanted her to marry – has also been invited.
Relief comes in the shape of a last minute interview for her dream job. There are just a few minor problems… The interview is in Scotland, Bea has no car, and the snow is falling already. The only solution is for Henry to drive her – could this Christmas get any worse…
But during an unforgettable two day interview, a stay in a log cabin and a nightmare journey through the snow, Henry turns out to be nothing like she thought. And when Bea's first love and recent ex shows up, Bea has a difficult choice to make…
Reading Beth Moran's fabulous novels makes every day better. Feelgood, satisfying, with smart characters and gorgeous settings, it's impossible not to fall in love with a Beth Moran story. Perfect for all fans of Jill Mansell, Julie Houston, and Jenny Colgan.

My Review
My first Beth Moran book, although I do have lots more on my To Be Read pile! We meet Bea Armstrong, a weather presenter who is on her way to spending Christmas with her family when a last minute job interview gets in the way!
I really enjoyed this read and it makes the perfect Christmas story. Bea is a fun character and when she finds her childhood nemesis, Henry Fairfax has also been invited to spend Christmas with the family, the banter between them was delightful! Henry is a lovely character who you couldn't help but instantly like and despite the serious exterior he was definitely more like Superman than Clark Kent!
The whole book was filled with some snow, lots of Christmas and a little bit more snow to top it off. It makes the perfect seasonal read, coupled with a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie! I loved the trip up to Scotland for Bea's very important job interview, and found the "waiting staff" hilarious (although child labour does come to mind!)
The book was the epitome of what Christmas should all be about - family, friendships and love! There are lots of little life morals to learn from and the true value of Christmas is well and truely taught! A heartwarming feel-good story which I would definitely recommend!
