Where imagination knows no bounds and adventure awaits at every turn.
This Christmas romance drops a burnt-out London consultant into a stormy coastal hotel kitchen and lets the sparks fly. Melody lives in pitch decks and strategy; Kayan lives in service tickets and sourdough. Their reluctant partnership over a high-stakes winter residency feels sharp, grown-up, and irresistibly messy. Perfect for readers who enjoy dual POV, service-industry pressure, and a romance plated up alongside twelve unforgettable winter “tastes”.
This isn’t just hotel lounges and spreadsheets. The story visits rain-lashed harbourside markets, a chaotic goat farm at dawn, and after-hours tasting sessions that balance laughter with genuine vulnerability. Each “taste” of winter ties to a moment between Melody and Kayan as they build something bigger than one event. Readers who enjoy immersive settings and seasonal farm-to-table detail will feel completely transported.
The romance is a true slow-burn: lots of banter, stolen glances over the pass, and shared crises before anything turns openly romantic. Intimacy is implied rather than explicit, keeping the focus on trust, boundaries, and learning to stay when things get hard. It feels like watching two guarded people let their walls down one service at a time. Ideal for readers who prefer closed-door chemistry with high emotional stakes.
The book wraps a small-town Christmas in the smells of garlic, goat cheese, and sea air. Havenbrook’s markets, hotel corridors, goat farm and late-night kitchens create a vivid backdrop for Melody and Kayan’s romance. Both are perfectionists, both exhausted, and watching them learn to trust each other is oddly soothing. A great pick for readers who want foodie detail, emotional honesty, and festive vibes without losing the grit.
The “twelve tastes of winter” concept cleverly mirrors the relationship arc. Each dish, supplier visit, or event adds another flavour—resentment, curiosity, respect, desire—until the final menu feels like a love letter to Havenbrook and to each other. Structurally satisfying without ever feeling gimmicky, it gives the romance a clear spine while leaving room for plenty of chaos along the way.
