Snowfall over Halesmere house by Suzanne Snow

I absolutely loved reviewing Snowfall over Halesmere House by Szanne Snow, it's definetly in my top 5 Christmas books of all time. You can buy Snow fall over Halesmere house here on Amazon, Waterstones, Barnes and Noble. Isn't that cover simply gorgeous!
The synopsis reads as follows:
After years of living in the past, Ella is ready to start building a future. The perfect opportunity presents itself when she is offered a short-term role at Halesmere House in the Lake District, and tasked with kick-starting its artists' residence. She can't wait to start and explore a new career in an inspiring location. But when Ella arrives at Halesmere, she wonders if she’s made a huge mistake after she clashes with Max, the new owner. Max has his own reasons to be unsettled by her presence, but despite his misgivings it seems everyone else loves having Ella around. As a single dad, it’s his children’s attachment to her that bothers him most. Who will pick up the pieces when Ella leaves? What Max doesn’t know is that Ella is falling for more than just the Lake District and the community around her. Can her temporary job lead to a permanent happy ending? A tender and uplifting Christmas romance for fans of Heidi Swain, Karen Swan and Sue Moorcroft.
My review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ella has been living in the past, so when she gets a job at Halesmere house she has the perfect opportunity to start living her new life, but when she first arrives she wonders if she's made a mistake. As time goes by she's not only falling in love with the majestic Lake District...
At first Max comes across as very prickly, abrupt and rude but when he discovers that Ella and himself share something in common he softens up. His gruff facade fades and their heartbreaking pasts bring them closer together. They are so good for each other, healing each other and Ella' s relationship with Lily and Arlo is precious and exactly what the children needed. I was on edge hoping they'd get together from the start of the book.
The chef/foodie theme is always a win with me and I loved this sweet story and all the characters I 'met'. Except one character annoyed me with her constant trying to worm her way in and trying to put Ella off and scare her away. Marta and her candles were so inspiring, I could almost smell the descriptive scents. The emotionally charged ending was perfect! I read this in almost one sitting and when I took a break from reading to make lunch I couldn't wait to get back to Halesmere house!
If you love Grumpy and sunshine, second chance romance, small town vibes and Christmas themed books you'll love this.
Thank you to @netgalley and @canelo_co for the arc copy in exchange for my honest opinion
