Halley has been running from her problems for years.
On a courier trip to Tallfors, deep in Swedish Lapland, everything is going to plan. Halley has her bag, with two precious wedding rings inside for delivery... until she doesn't.
The only way to save the wedding is to team up with mysterious reindeer herder Bjorn, the one person who can lead her across the snowy tundra to be reunited with her bag.
On a journey of a lifetime beneath the stars, with only the reindeer and a bad-tempered stranger for company beside the fire, Halley realises that she will need to confront her past heartaches in order to let the warmth of love in once more...
Review
Bit late reading this one. But in usual Jo Thomas way she blows your mind.
The story draws you in, and with a normal Jo Thomas book, there is always something that leaves you guessing and until it's revealed you can't confirm if what you thought was right or not.
The environment of the book, no matter where Jo sets the is fantastic, you can imagine yourself being there. The images are so vivid I could imagine being there and mushing along with Halley and Bjorn.
I chose this book because it had been sat on my bookshelf for a while, I don't know why I didn't pick it up straight away as I normally would do wkth Jo' books. However I am glad I got around to it in this coldish weather we have been having.
The characters are great and you really route for them. All of them. The storyline was great too. I want to go to Sweden and have a go at Mushing myself!
4 stars
