ABOUT THE BOOK:
When midwinter magic brings you home for Christmas … When Emmy Berry arrives at Hartsford Hall to work at the Frost Fayre she immediately feels at home. Which is odd because she’s never set foot in the place in her life.
Then a freak blizzard leaves her stranded and things get even weirder when she bumps into Tom Howard. Tom and Emmy have never met before but neither can ignore the sense that they know each other.
With Christmas fast approaching and the weather showing no sign of improving it soon becomes apparent that Hartsford Hall has a little bit of midwinter magic in store for them both …

MY REVIEW:
Watch for Me at Christmas by Kirsty FerryMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Watch for me at Christmas by Kirsty Ferry is a 2018 Choclit publication.
Emmy Berry is at Hartsford Hall to work on the Frost Fayre. Although she’s never been there before, she feels a sense of belonging. Making things even more surreal is meeting Tom Howard. She’s never met him before, but she is drawn to him in an inexplicable way, she simply can’t explain, and it seems Tom feels the same way. The mystery deepens as they rely on the ghosts of the past to explain why they feel so drawn to Hartsford Hall, and to each other.
I loved this novella!! I’ve gotten a very early start on my holiday reading this year, and while I have several Christmas themed books to read still, hands down this the sweetest story I’ve read, so far, this season. The past and present collide in a poignant story of loss and true love. The romance is sweet and tender. Against the holiday backdrop, this is a heartwarming, if mildly bittersweet, love story, that will leave you with all the warm and fuzzy feelings of the holiday season, and with the promise of a love that will last a lifetime- and beyond.
This is my second Harsford Hall story by Kirsty Ferry and I have enjoyed them both immensely. She does a great job of creating two compelling stories, one from the present and one from the past, and merging them into one, in a whimsical, magical, and touching way. Highly recommend!
