Winters' Gift by Florence Keeling




Winters’ Gift: A heart warming, feel good romantic comedy. 

‘I absolutely adored this book. It gave me all the feels! A charming read full of warmth and heart.’ ***** Kim the Bookworm

Bea Winters is in desperate need of a fresh start. Being bullied at work is not her idea of fun and she longs to follow her dream of becoming a published author. When an advert appears in her local paper to work in a publishing house in the sleepy village of Bloomsdale, it sounds too good to be true.  

She strikes up an instant friendship with gorgeous aspiring author, Eddie Richards and her dashing millionaire boss Scott Summers 

But all isn’t as it seems in the sleepy village of Bloomsdale.

How does the local clairvoyant know her name? Who does the little black dog that keeps appearing belong to and why does she keep bumping into the mysterious Charlie?  

As she starts to unravel the truth, it seems that everyone in Bea’s life is keeping secrets.  

An uplifting romantic comedy that will warm your heart – perfect for fans of Cathy Bramley, Milly Johnson and Carole Matthews.

Bea's mother is sort of a "hippie," a free~spirit for sure, always on the move. So Bea's childhood is not typical, at times even a blur. She feels like her siblings raised her. Eventually she heads off to college and begins a life on her own, while her mother continues to flit in and out. Finding herself in a relationship going nowhere productive and a job that is even worse (and then without a job) Bea is ready to start over.
She finds herself drawn to a place, a job, and makes new friends while working on writing a book.
But life is not done throwing curveballs at her.
I put this on my mystery shelf even though it is a romance. There are paranormal elements to the story and it is really a tale about discovering oneself. A discovery story about Bea and her family, as well as about others on a path of discovery.
The characters are likable. One in particular the reader will sort of enjoy disliking. Others are mysterious and I found myself curious to learn more about them as the book progressed.
There are moments I wanted to shake Bea and tell her to open her eyes ~ you are smarter than this!
I caught on to part of the truth before it was revealed, and the answer did not go as deep, emotionally, as I hoped, but the paranormal aspect made up for that.
Overall, a really enjoyable read. I look forward to more by this author.
