About this audiobook
After calling off her engagement, Hayley, the Wynthorpe Hall housekeeper, wants nothing more than to return to her no-strings fun-loving self, avoiding any chance of future heartbreak. Little does she know, Wynbridge’s latest arrival is about to throw her plan entirely off course . . .
Moving into Wynthorpe Hall to escape the town’s gossip, Hayley finds herself immersed in the eccentric Connelly family’s festive activities as they plan to host their first ever Winter Wonderland. But Hayley isn’t the only new resident at the hall. Gabe, a friend of the Connelly’s son Jamie, has also taken up residence, moving into Gatekeeper’s Cottage, and he quickly makes an impression on Wynbridge’s reformed good-girl.
As preparations commence for the biggest event of the season, the pair find themselves drawn ever closer to one another, but unbeknownst to Hayley, Gabe, too, has a reason for turning his back on love, one that seems intent on keeping them apart.
Under the starry winter skies, will Gabe convince Hayley to open her heart again once more? And in doing so, will he convince himself? ~*~
Snowflakes and Cinnamon Swirls at the Winter Wonderland is the perfect read this Christmas, promising snowfall, warm fires and breath-taking seasonal romance. Perfect for fans of Milly Johnson, Carole Matthews and Cathy Bramley.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great listen loved the narrator the whole series was amazing. Looking forward to more.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/53.5 stars
Ok if you're just looking for a "cozy" read, if you enjoy stories about communities full of "colorful characters", or if you're reading through the series.
I really wanted to love the story more than I did, and kept expecting to be able to....but too much just kept not ringing true for me (can't really comment further without getting into a lot of spoilers). I think if the {spoiler reveal} about the hero's trauma had been introduced sooner, it would have enhanced the romance end of things
Not a bad book! The writing itself was good. The story was just slightly underwhelming, in the end. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Would be a brilliant movie, great book, wish real life could match this
