'Tis the season for finding love... and the perfect bookWith just two weeks until Christmas, everything in Clove Lore should be perfect. But the latest holidaymaker to the Borrow a Bookshop is feeling far from festive...

Icelandic ex-bookseller Magnus Sturluson might be surrounded by love stories in the Bookshop, but he's nursing a sadness that not even fiction can fix.

When Alexandra Robinson finds herself stranded in Clove Lore, she finds a safe place to hide from heartbreak. After all, all that's waiting for her at home is a cheater boyfriend and the memories of her parents. As Alex finds herself embraced by the quirky village community, she finds her tough exterior thawing - and as she grows closer to Magnus, she finds an equally soft heart under his gruff shell.

It seems that Clove Lore is working its magic once again - until a great flood on Christmas Eve brings devastation in its wake. It's up to Magnus and Alex to batten down the hatches and help bring the village back together again, while also introducing the locals to the Icelandic tradition of the jolabokaflod - Yule book flood - where families and friends gather on Christmas Eve to exchange books and read together.

But can Magnus and Alex truly rescue the ruins of the village, and salvage their Christmas spirit? Or is there another complication lurking even closer than they thought?

A totally uplifting read that will lighten the winter gloom, for fans of Jenny Colgan and Trisha Ashley. Booklovers will adore this seasonal treat!
