Neva Grey’s Christmas brought several surprises. Now a shocking secret has life-changing consequences for the Wynters, as the New Year brings revelations … and relatives to Wynter House.
It also brings Hazel Smart and Amelia Goodbody. And it’s not just Adam and Rafe Wynter who are pleased Hazel and Amelia have come to stay. Olivia Wynter will enjoy bossing nurse Hazel around and she also makes it clear Amelia – who is handling the marketing for Rafe’s new business venture – is far more suited to be her grandson’s girlfriend than Neva will ever be.
Whilst Amelia is ensconced at Wynter House, Neva is busy with her new hair and beauty salon in Merriment Bay. Perhaps she should enlist her niece, Sasha’s help because just when she thought she had found the love of her life, old secrets, ghosts from the past, and new arrivals might shatter all her dreams.
At least she has her best friend, Jo Duncan to lean on. But newly single, Jo is determined to have some fun, both at Wynter House and in Merriment Bay. And so is Adam Wynter.
This is book two in the Wyntersleap series but it can be read as a standalone. The Wyntersleap series is interlinked with the Merriment Bay series and several characters appear in both series.

Favorite Quotes:
‘Sending her to live in the village is a bit harsh, isn’t it?’ He forced a grin. ‘I thought you liked the villagers.’
… the woman looked as if she was knocking on death’s door and waiting for an answer.
My Review:
This was a sweet and entertaining installment of the ongoing Wyntersleap series, and although the book could be read as a standalone, it would be better enjoyed having read the first book in the series which introduced the reoccurring characters. I always enjoy Emily Harvale’s light, easy flowing, and engaging tales peppered with amusing humor, colorful descriptions, vile villains, and oddly appealing yet uniquely peculiar characters.

Humour, vile villians and peculiar characters, nice combination for a great story.

This looks like a cozy read for a snow day!
Sounds like a fun series.
Great review DJ, I am really glad you fully enjoyed read this book series so far in, this book looks and sounds like an amazing and fun book. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome post.
Looks like this is a good series of books.
I didn’t like this book, I was moved off the tour. I found too much of Insta love and dialogues were not peppy. I was so lost about who the characters were. This was certainly not a standalone… 😂 😂 Hmmm I should be kinder in my review I suppose…
That cover is so adorable! Great review!
