Pandora and Michael are left their Uncle Jolly's home if they live together for 6 months. They have known each other since childhood and there is no love lost.

They spend the winter together, there living together is thrown off course by other family members who don't agree with the terms of the will, but will they find out who is playing foul....

They invite the family over and pretend they are still not getting on (although they have fallen for each other as Uncle Jolley wished) to try and work who is playing foul, will they succeed?

I hadn’t really read the blurb on the back so didn’t realise there were two stories in one, so that was a nice surprise! I love how Nora Roberts sets the scene, this is the first of her books I’ve read and I was sucked in from the start. You think the first story is good and then you read the one with Regan and Rafe and it’s fantastic! The story, the setting, the characters, definitely recommend and it’s more winters than Christmassy so go ahead and pick it up when it’s chilly!

Favourite quote
'Rafe gave some thought to beating his brother to death with the snow shovel and stealing all his cigarettes. Reminding himself it was all a matter of self-control, he leaned on the shovel, instead"
Made me laugh 😸

I only give this a 3 stars because the romance is too much for me, but other than that two beautiful stories with some added mystery that I love.
