    Summary

    Struggling film student Kitty Shakespeare is determined to make the most of her new job as nanny to major producer Everett Klein's son, Jonas. It might not be exactly the career she'd hoped for when she moved from London to LA, but thanks to her habit of freezing up in interviews, this is her last chance to impress a key player in Hollywood - if she can get this right, then surely he'll take a moment to look at her work. However, what Kitty hasn't allowed for is Everett's sexy-as-hell brother, Adam - but love at first sight this is not.  

    Adam Klein may be sexy, but he's also gruff and rude and in no way ready to make a fool of himself over the nanny - not after the year he's had. All he wants to do hole up in his cabin and hide from the brother who destroyed his life. If only he could find it easier to ignore the way Kitty makes his heart race...

    As Christmas approaches, Kitty and Adam come to realise that the course of true love never does run smooth - and just maybe, it's more interesting that way...

    This is the second book in the ‘Shakespeare Sisters’ series of book and I love the nod to William Shakespeare by sharing the title of this book to William Shakespeare’s play ‘The Winter’s Tale’. I have loved the other books by Carrie that I have read, including the first in this series ‘Summer’s Lease’ earlier this year, and so I was very excited when this one landed on my doorstep.

    This is classic romance at it’s best. The writing is as cosy as you want, perfect for the looming winter. The snow making it picture perfect, as you imagine the rural setting. It certainly sounded the best scenery to have a cosy festive feel.   

    We hear from both Adam and Kitty, and I really liked getting to know them both, especially the mysterious Adam, who was less of an open book than Kitty who was keen to express herself if needed, especially when being treated rudely.  

    I liked Kitty a lot. She as fiesta when she needed to be, but overall she was kind. Fantastic with Jonas, very thoughtful and considerate of others, especially when she was so helpful and nice to Jonas’ grandmother after she came home from the hospital, wanting to make sure she had theist Christmas possible.  

    Adam, is of course, the mysterious and handsome lead. A bit harsh at first, but through conversations with his therapist we learn that he is quite impulsive with his emotions and hot-headed to boot, but we see him thaw as we get to know him, especially when he is with Jonas and gets to know Kitty.  

    In fact Jonas will probably steal the readers’ hearts. He is such a great kid, genuinely lovely. The housekeeper was also a nice character to read, almost seemed to be the perfect motherly figure, always looking out for everyone.  

    This book is a fantastic read. The snow makes you feel both Christmasy and wintery at the same time.The romance makes you dream.  It is definitely a read where you can escape reality and lose yourself in this book.

    About Me

    My name is Rachel, or Rachale as my husband calls me. I love to read books, it doesn't matter if they're in Hardback, Paperback, Digital or Audio, I love nothing more than absorbing myself in a good book.

    I am also obsessed with Disney, Video Games and Harry Potter. I help host a book club at my most favourite pub (well, currently I'm hosting via Zoom, but hopefully it will be back to the pub some point in the near future) which combines my love of books with the pleasure of a glass of wine or cider while socialising with my friends.
