This is my first novel by Jackie Keswick and I quite enjoyed it. It was a slow-burn character story with a hurting police officer and a coffee shop owner with a gift to help people.

I loved the kind of magical fable feel of it, it was subtle and sweet. All the while this magic swirls around, and Christmas is looming, Ryan has become the target of an attack. Which is how Ben finds himself at the coffee house to handle the case. These two are instantly drawn to one another, and as they spend more and more time together, they can’t deny their feelings. But life, especially Ryan’s need to help everyone even at his own expense, its not easy to take the next steps. To find a balance that will allow them to give the other what they need.

But with a cute cat to bridge the gap, and a large Irish family to poke their nose in, these two find their way to really wonderful happy ending.
