This is a feel good festive romance set in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia. I chose to read this book because the book cover is simply gorgeous and I could not resist, plus there were various Shakespeare references, including the title. Kitty Shakespeare is the youngest of 4 sisters, the others are Cesca, Juliet and Lucy, the eldest, their makeshift mother after the death of their mother. Kitty is British, and in the process of completing a film course in LA. She needs an internship, but is not good at interviews. After failing an interview, she is contacted to be a nanny for a short while to 7 year old Jonas in Virginia for the festive period. His parents, Everett and Mia, are too busy to look after him. Kitty meets Adam, Everett's brother, a well known documentary maker, and her first few meetings are fraught and argumentative. In addition, to complicate matters, Adam has a fiery and conflict ridden relationship with Everett which has involved a violent incident triggered by what Adam feels was a betrayal.

To avoid charges, Adam is seeing an anger management therapist on a mandatory basis whilst taking time out of his stressful career. Kitty and Adam get over their initial antipathy to embark on a covert affair, whilst ostensibly caring for a secret present for Jonas, a puppy that causes mayhem and havoc. However, the course of true love never does run smoothly. Each chapter begins with a quote from a Shakespeare play which charts the highs and lows of their love. Everett and Adam's relationship remains difficult, and Kitty is caught between the loyalty she owes her employer and her growing love for Adam. Adam will have to address his volatile temper and anger issues before their relationship can go forward. The picture perfect snow filled and icy location in the mountains is a sure fire winner for this time of year. This is a great festive read, heartwarming and entertaining. Many thanks to Little, Brown for an ARC.
