Simply Angela : A Yorkshire Christmas by Kate Hewitt

Wealthy New York City girl Claire Lindell isn’t looking for a Christmas miracle or happiness when she abruptly decides to hole up for the holiday at her godmother’s cottage in a little Yorkshire village, and lick her wounds from a near disastrous romantic decision.

After her car skids into a snow bank, Claire may have accidently found her perfect Christmas and the family and love she’s craved when she offers Noah Bradford of Ayesgill Farm help to push the back end of one of his sheep out of the icy mud, even if she’s going to ruin a brand new pair of Prada boots during the rescue.

What’s a little leather when love’s on the line?

When Claire decided to escape New York City and the scandal she created with the father of one of her students, she decides to spend Christmas at her godmother’s cottage in Yorkshire but she never expected to end up in a ditch helping a handsome shepherd rescue a frozen sheep.

Although Claire quickly finds it’s more than the sheep she’s rescuing when Noah Bradford’s daughter comes to stay with him for the first time.

As the pair create a lovely holiday and home for his young daughter, they quickly develop a relationship that leaves Claire wondering if she found herself back in the same situation she just left behind or it this is the family she was meant to have.

I am loving the Christmas Around The World series from Tule Publishing and A Yorkshire Christmas was another fabulous read.

Claire is more or less running away from her problems. She’s from a wealthy family that never showed much warmth or affection and all she wants is a family of her own. She thought she had it with the father of one of her students but that ended badly and she’s convinced it’s never going to happen.

Noah Bradford is tending to his families sheep farm. He’s spent some time in jail due to something the mother of his child did and because of that he’s only seen his daughter a few hours on the weekends. Now that his ex is going on holiday with her new boyfriend, Noah will be keeping a daughter he doesn’t really know.

I liked Claire and Noah. Both had been hurt in the past and were hesitant about moving forward in a new relationship, but they were drawn to each other.

Overall, I found this book to be very enjoyable. A Yorkshire Christmas was a fast paced and the plot well done but I found parts of the book to be repetitive.
