Summary

'The queen of feel-good' Woman & Home

***The sparkling Christmas novel from the
Sunday Times bestselling author Heidi Swain!***

After being let go from her job in a swanky hotel just weeks before Christmas, Hattie is feeling lost. Even more so when her high-flying boyfriend announces he’s landed his dream job in Abu Dhabi and asks her to move with him. Luckily, Hattie’s long-time friend Dolly is on hand to help and invites Hattie to spend one last holiday in the small, festive town of Wynbridge, determined to give her a Christmas to remember . . .

Upon Hattie’s arrival, holiday preparations are in full swing. But for Hattie, whose Christmas cheer has long since run out, it’ll take more than mince pies and mistletoe to open her heart to the season once more. Relishing the task of reigniting Hattie’s Christmas spirit, Dolly suggests they create a wish list of all the things the season can offer, and with the helpful hands of Wynbridge’s resident handyman, Beamish, Hattie finds her frosty exterior is starting to thaw.

As Wynbridge prepares for its most spectacular Christmas yet, will Hattie leave snowy England behind for life in a sunnier clime, or will she in fact realise that her heart’s desire lies much closer to home?

The Christmas Wish List is the perfect read this Christmas, promising snowfall, warm fires and breath-taking seasonal romance. Perfect for fans of Carole Matthews and Cathy Bramley.

Fantastic emotional roller coaster.

Everyone should have a Beamish in their lives. Best read in sequence with other books in the series

A beautiful series of books leaving you wanting more!

If you love a heartwarming love story this book is for you! More than that though it weaves a wonderful story and deals with a difficult subject wonderfully. I am making my way through Heidi’s books set in Wynbridge and I am hoping and praying there are more to come! I have fallen in love with the place and it’s people and wish it were real so I could move there!

Fantastic!

I have absolutely loved listening to Heidi Swain’s books. After completing this story I am so excited to now go on to listen to another one of her stories.

This story is engaging and shares the same format to Heidi’s other stories. It has a classic romance which was just what I was looking for.

I do wish there was more to the stories ending and I hope that a future book may use these characters within it to share more information on what happens next for the characters.

I would also like to add that the narrator is brilliant and has a pleasant voice to listen to!

Predictable, a bit slow but well intentioned

This book got off to a very slow start but it did have a nice end and was pretty Christmassy overall.

Brilliant

I absolutely loved this story. I think it was the best Christmas story I have ever listened too and was read by Karen Cass so well. The ending was both happy and sad. Thank you Heidi Swain I always love listening to the books you write.
