? My thoughts...

4/5 stars

This was a very cute and cozy romance with a beautiful setting and engaging lead characters.

It felt a little slow to start, but it picked up quick enough that I soon forgot my reservations. Sara's journey from stressed, overworked London lawyer to the relaxed, off-grid resort in Norway was a fun, heartwarming, reflective one, and something that inspired me to look for ways to relieve some of my own stress as I was reading.

The romance was sweet, and Henrik was a charming male lead, but I would have loved a bit more sizzle and spark in their chemistry.

I enjoyed this one - it gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling and encouraged me to look for quiet in my own life.

? Synopsis...

Sara is a stressed, overworked London lawyer on the verge of a breakdown, who uses her company-enforced holiday to visit a recommended Norwegian resort. Only it's a little more off-grid than she was expecting, and she's forced to confront nature and herself head-on, under the watchful eye of handsome resort manager, Henrik.
