Heartwarming and engaging
This story deals with complex emotions and relationships. It is Christmassy and heartwarming. I enjoyed the armchair travel too.

Enjoyable Christmas romance story
Let it Snow has the ideal Christmas theme with all the snow and wintry Swiss backdrop and the Middletones reminding you the classic Christmas carols. The chaos of the holiday season and all the unexpected turn of events gives you somewhat a warm and fuzzy feeling throughout.

Heartwarming & as well as Heartbreaking
A wonderful story that at times was very emotionally heartbreaking as well as totally heart filling with joy. The cast of characters were perfect for the roles they played in this wonderful book. The emotions of breast cancer that Hayley went threw were extremely accurate as anyone who has known someone or who they themselves have gone through knows. *****

Cosy up with this vivid and well-written book
Readers are brought back to Middledip and also go on a vivid journey to Switzerland in this vividly written book that will feed your imagination and get you ready for Christmas.I love being wrapped up cosily with Sue Moorcroft's Christmas books. They are just divine and they aren't ever oozing with sickly sweetness. She has managed again to get the balance right between the festive season, romance and life in general, with such believable characters.Sue Moorcroft writes so well about the complexities of life, relationships, identity and families and she has managed to again in Let it Snow.Lily Cortez, daughter of Roma Martindale are the main characters in this book, along with Patricia (Patsie) Jones and there's Isaac too. The story all begins with something to do with Roma's past. The story then skips to 2 years later, where readers can meet Zinnia working in The Three Fishes - a bar with Lily, that is being decorated for Christmas. The scene is set nicely to really get into these characters lives.It was lovely to read about the progression of the relationship between Lily and Issac. It was also nice to see the relationships of others too and not just heterosexuals but also same sex too. What was particulary great, was that all the characters really fit well within the story. No character was there for tokenism, they all had their own voices and their stories all added to the bigger story.Lily has a strong need to find out about the rest of her family and this makes for interesting reading and is handled sensitively. There are huge topics covered in the book but it is done in such an impressive way, that it still feels like a nice light read, but with substance.There's the cosy feelings of Christmas as well as the cold air and the atmosphere of Christmas markets, described beautifully, that started making me wish it was December already. I love that the book is so compelling to read and so immersive in its surroundings, like a book in full visual form in the mind's eye.The ending is just so beautiful and sweet in this incredibly well-written, well paced book. Rated all the stars - I can highly recommend this to add onto everyone's Christmas reading list or to add onto a Christmas wish list. It is worth every bit of being on the Sunday Times Bestseller List. It's a book that I reckon I will be picking up and reading in future Christmas times too.

Very Christmassy
I am a fan of Sue Moorcroft's books and I normally read the ARCs before they come out. I missed doing it with this one, so I saved it to read over Christmas.We go back to Middledip for this story. I like this sort of thing, where you see characters from other books pass through in the background. It makes me feel like part of a community.Lilly finds out about her father the day he dies. She has complicated feelings about her blood family and wants to get to know her half brothers. But they might not be so pleased to meet her. So she's working part time as a barmaid at the Three Fishes pub while she works out what to do.Isaac is picking him self back up after the double whammy of losing his old business and breaking up with his ex. He's working as a temporary manager at the Three Fishes. He's Lilly's boss.Both the characters are interesting and easy to relate to. I liked that Isaac is a stickler for the rules and that Lily admits the mixed feelings she has when Isaac has to go and help someone. Oh, I nearly forgot Doggo! He's a dog. You've got to love an exuberant dog!There's plenty going on in this book and everything that can go wrong, does. It's a lovely, romantic story about the family you're linked to and the family you find through your friendships.
