Struggling
film student Kitty Shakespeare is determined to make the most of her new job as
nanny to major producer Everett Klein’s son, Jonas. It might not be exactly the
career she’d hoped for when she moved from London to LA, but thanks to her
habit of freezing up in interviews, this is her last chance to impress a key
player in Hollywood – if she can get this right, then surely he’ll take a
moment to look at her work. However, what Kitty hasn’t allowed for is Everett’s
sexy-as-hell brother, Adam – but love at first sight this is not.

Adam Klein may be sexy, but he’s also gruff and rude and in no way ready to
make a fool of himself over the nanny – not after the year he’s had. All he
wants to do hole up in his cabin and hide from the brother who destroyed his
life. If only he could find it easier to ignore the way Kitty makes his heart
race . . .

As Christmas approaches, Kitty and Adam come to realise that the course of true
love never does run smooth – and just maybe, it’s more interesting that way…

A heartwarming Shakespeare Sisters Christmas romance from the bestselling
author of Fix You.

I read
‘Summer’s Lease’, the first book in the Shakespeare Sisters series in June and
I devoured it. I truly loved that book! So when I heard that ‘A Winter’s Tale’,
the second book in the Shakespeare Sisters series came out with a Christmas
theme, my favorite holiday, I was beyond excited. And I was over the moon when
I received an email with the question if I wanted to read this book. And when I
received it, I started reading immediately. 

In ‘A
Winter’s Tale’ we meet Kitty Shakespeare. Kitty is the youngest of the
Shakespeare sisters. Kitty has been living in L.A. for almost a year. It has
been her dream as a film student to make it in the big city. But Kitty is
struggling to get a new internship. Desperate Kitty accepts a job as nanny to
major producer Everett Klein’s son, Jonas. This way Kitty hopes to impress the
producer enough he considers her for internship. But when Kitty arrives in the
cold and snow covered Blue Ridge Mountains she isn’t prepared for Everett
Klein’s brother Adam. Adam is tall and handsome, but incredible rude to Kitty.
But still, Kitty doesn’t seem to be able to forget him.

Well, I
love books with a Christmas theme, and I loved the first book in this series so
this book should be perfect for me. And it was. I loved every single page and I
read it in a day. Kitty’s character is one I really loved. Kitty is a kind of
shy, hardworking, beautiful, strong and a little naïve. And it was really fun
to read about her. When Kitty met Adam she was completely in awe of him, even
though he was really unkind. But being the good person she was, she tried to be
kind to him and those first interactions between Kitty and Adam were really fun
to read. I loved the way Kitty seemed to be in complete shock about someone
like Adam liking her. I could honestly hear her say ‘You do?’ in my ear. Loved
it!

Adam isn’t
really a bad guy, but he has been through something terrible and after someone
from his family betrayed him he doesn’t seem to be able to get past it. He
leaves everything behind, and starts living in this cabin in the cold Blue
Ridge Mountains. Adam is done with people and just wants to be left alone. But
Kitty knocks him of his feet. And I loved being able to read this book from
both his point of view and that of Kitty’s. 

The
romance and chemistry between Kitty and Adam was amazing and I loved reading
every single page of ‘A Winter’s Tale’. The scenery the author described was
gorgeous and I definitely got this wintery Christmas feel while reading this
book. This book definitely is another great one and I can’t wait to read the
next book in this amazing series.
