The Blurb:

Family means everything to Lily Cortez and her sister Zinnia, and growing up in their non-conventional family unit, they and their two mums couldn’t have been closer.

So it’s a bolt out of the blue when Lily finds her father wasn’t the anonymous one-night stand she’d always believed – and is in fact the result of her mum’s reckless affair with a married man.

Confused, but determined to discover her true roots, Lily sets out to find the family she’s never known; an adventure that takes her from the frosted, thatched cottages of Middledip to the snow-capped mountains of Switzerland, via a memorable romantic encounter along the way…

My Review:

Oh my! A book which includes snowy mountains, wooden chalets, words with umlauts ( ¨ ) and Glühwein is going to be RIGHT up my street! Anyone who has read ‘A Rock ‘n’ Roll Lovestyle’ will know of my love and passion for Austria and Switzerland, in this case, ticks all those same boxes.

This was a highly enjoyable read and, although you think you know how it’s all going to end, I confess there were a few occasions where I just couldn’t see how it would get there and this was a big plus point for the story. There are enough twists, turns and stumbles on this path which keep you wondering just how everything is going to resolve itself right to the end.

The main lady, Lily, is someone you warm to from the start, her sister Zannia is someone whom your fingers itch to give a slap to! Not a big slap but just enough to tell her to grow up and get over herself! Issac is rather delectable and manages to do all the right things that had this reader more than a little in love with him.

Ms Moorcroft does a wonderful job of keeping the reader engaged from start to finish. Putting this book down to get on with the intrusion that is Real Life was difficult but picking it back up again was a joy.

I’m now hoping I’ll have the time to read one of Ms Moorcroft’s previous Christmas offering and give you my thoughts on that before this little venture is completed.
