Product Details (as per amazon page)
Struggling film student Kitty Shakespeare is as bad at interviews as she is talented at making films. She’s given herself until the end of the year to score an internship in LA, otherwise it’ll be back to London with her tail between her legs. Unfortunately the only job offer on the table is as nanny to major producer Everett Klein’s son, Jonas. It’s not exactly the career she’d hoped for, but if she can get this right, then surely he’ll take a moment to look at her work. However, what Kitty hasn’t allowed for is Everett’s sexy-as-hell brother, Adam – and love at first sight this is not.
Adam Klein may be sexy, but he’s also gruff, rude and completely impossible. All he wants to do hole up in his cabin and hide from the brother who destroyed his life. If only he could find it easier to ignore the way Kitty makes his heart race . . .
As Christmas approaches, Kitty and Adam realise that although the course of true love never does run smooth, just maybe, it’s more interesting that way…
I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this novel. All opinions are my own and no content may be copied. However, authors and publishers may use elements of my reviews for quotes.
I adored this tale of finding love at a time when you least expect it. A Winter’s Tale is the second book in the Shakespeare Sisters Romance stories. This is the story of Kitty Shakespeare, the youngest of four sisters. Each story can be read as a standalone but you are truly missing out on a treat if you don’t catch up with each of the Shakespeare Sisters in their own unique story.
Carrie Elks is a relatively new author to me, I was first introduced to her work back in August when I read Summer’s Lease. You can find my review for Summer’s Lease here. Carrie Elks writes contemporary women’s fiction, her stories sweep you away into the lives of the characters she has created with warmth and humour and you instantly fall in love with them. There is a sexual chemistry that’s beautifully woven within the storyline that is quite addictive to read about.
Kitty’s story is gorgeous, charming, sexy and much, much more. I really didn’t want this story to end.
Kitty is 24 and a mature Film Studies student at UCLA. Kitty always dreamed of moving home from London to LA and wanted to work in the film industry as an Editor. As part of her studies she needed to complete an internship but was struggling finding one and her lack of confidence during interviews wasn’t helping. However, her resume which included work as a nanny, proved useful during one of her interviews when she was offered a temporary position of a nanny working over the festive period for a top producer. This new assignment took her from the sunny coast of LA to the wintry climate of West Virginia to a grand house surrounded by snowy woodland. Working for the top producer was to prove challenging in more ways than one. The young boy Jonas was delightful and Kitty soon built up a good relationship with him. However, Kitty didn’t have on the agenda getting in the middle of a sibling conflict. This conflict between the two Klein brothers had been going on since the summer and has caused a big rift in the family.
Adam Klein, the younger of the brothers and acclaimed Documentarian is still reeling from this conflict, the emotions that his brother’s action brought out in him were still quite raw. Since the summer Adam has been living the life of a recluse in the wooden cabin in the grounds of the family home. He’d taken himself ‘off the grid’ and was seeking guidance for his anger and emotion issues. Adam wasn’t looking forward to the big family Christmas and coming into contact with his brother again. But a new visitor to the family property was causing him a new distraction and making him question his emotions. An instant attraction was felt when he first met his nephew’s new nanny Kitty but his current mood didn’t always show his true feelings.
Two young people feeling lost and at odds with the world find a common ground in family values. With growing sexual attraction can Kitty and Adam find a way of bringing their lost souls home?
Another screen-worthy performance from Carrie Elks.
