Together Under a Snowy Skye
About the Book:
After the heartbreak of a secret unrequited love, Millie Treadaway has finally found someone to spend her life with. Harry Rose is handsome, successful and treats her like a princess. That is until Millie presents her fiancé with a surprise birthday gift, and their future is suddenly doomed.
Eight months later Millie returns to Glentorrin on the Isle of Skye for her best friend Jules’ Christmas wedding. Heartbroken, single and heavily pregnant.
Staying in Lifeboat Cottage with Jules’ brother, kindhearted Dexter, she’s given up on love and resigned herself to be the best single Mum ever.
But a shock phone call from Harry leaves her reeling and doubting herself and her decisions.
Do second chances work? Or is Dexter, right? That she deserves much more?
Can the festive spirit in Glentorrin, and a little stray Jack Russell terrier, heal her heart?
Or is she fated to remain a member of the lonely-hearts club forever?
My Review:
When Millie surprises her fiancé with the news of pregnancy, things don't go as she planned. The life they should be building together crumbles down around her feet. Harry doesn't want kids and wasn't man enough to tell her. Not ever expecting pregnancy, Harry does a lot of blaming, guilting, and attempting to convince Millie of alternate options. Having had enough, the only thing Millie terminates is her relationship with Harry.
Fast-forward eight months and Millie is on her way to Isle of Skye for her best friend's upcoming wedding. Jules is getting married Christmas Eve and, pregnant or not, Millie wouldn't miss the celebration for the world. She stays in a cottage with Jules' brother Dexter and acclimates to her new, but temporary lifestyle. One away from her ex, his family, and her life, where Millie still tries to come to terms with being a single mom.
Harry's unexpected phone call has her twisted up in knots. She wonders if she did the right thing by leaving Harry. His sudden persistence has Millie second-guessing all the decisions she's made since the day she announced her pregnancy. Now she's wondering if second chances are possible or if she should move on from Harry.
Together Under a Snowy Skye is an emotionally-rich holiday novel. The characters are well-written, 3-dimensional, and complex. I enjoyed Millie and the way the author portrayed her character. She is sensitive, loving, strong, and determined. She is emotional, self-doubting, and scared. I love how she gets into Glentorrin and fits right in with all of Jules' friends.
I enjoyed the author's writing style, the story she told, and how everything came together. I was pulled into the story from the beginning and kept thoroughly engaged. The author wove a masterpiece together, filled with romance, love, anxious moments, tenderness, frustration, and disbelieve. I was captivated by this wonderful story. This is my first novel by Lisa Hobman and it won't be my last.
I was provided a copy of this book to read.
