Summary

There are all kinds of Christmases and all kinds of families. The family you’re born into. The family you make. And the family you choose.

Christmas means summer in New Zealand and All Blacks wedding season, too. Plans made and plans changed, because no matter how well you plan, life happens. Especially if, say, you’re marrying your late husband’s brother, you’ve got a couple of kids in the mix, and everybody’s talked too much about all that already.

And then, there’s the rest of the family. A stepbrother who’s carried too big a secret for 30 years and needs to lay that burden down. Another whose romance with the maid of honor went south, for reasons neither of them quite understand. A sister who wants her teenage romance to stick. The man who wants to make that happen. 

From the beaches of New Zealand’s Far North to the shadow of the Southern Alps, Christmas brings family tensions and family bonds, secrets revealed, and promises kept, including the most important promise a person can make: to be there. 

Note: You will enjoy this book even more if you’ve listened to Just Say (Hell) No and Just Come Over, books 11 and 12, respectively, in Escape to New Zealand series.

Great Listen

I have read the kindle version and while it is a Christmas story it was a delight to delve back into this story and its characters.
A really great story with plenty of family drama and fun.
It is not overly focused on Christmas. So than shouldn't put anyone off listening to it all year round!
Great link in with the previous 2 books. Weddings, children and mother in laws and some smoking hot rugby players thrown in.Great all round story that Emma Wilder really brings to live.
Well worth a listen.
