Summary:

Another Christmas on Nantucket finds Winter Street Inn owner, Kelley Quinn reflecting on the past year as he writes a holiday letter to friends and family. Though the year has had its fair share of misfortune and worry, the Quinn’s have much to celebrate.

Soon Kelley dint the only Quinn entertaining a surprise guest from Christmases last as lovers old and new gather beneath the mistletoe. With jealousy, passion, and eggnog consumption at an all-time high, its gong to take a whole lot more than a Christmas miracle to get the Quinns – and the inn – through the holidays intact.

Verdict:

Another great read, and one you cannot put down after reading the first. And you know are just going to have to keep reading all four books to follow the Christmas antics of the Quinn family. I think relate well to these books as they are so real – the Quinn family have their fair share of family drama, especially at Christmas time when everyone is together, under one roof for a long period of time – all with their own happiness, pain, heartache, business and things going on. But over and over again, the books show us how no matter the drama, we are still better together.
