Felicity, sole designer for Felicity Grant Bridal, and business partner Raj are in St. Moritz for a bridal gown fashion show and photo shoots the week between Christmas and New Year's. Even with a long to-do list, Felicity has a hard time not thinking about Adam, her boyfriend of six years, and wondering why they aren't engaged yet. After she falls on the ice, Felicity meets Dr. Gabriel Innes, and the ease they feel with each other is swift and strong. Is longevity in a relationship more important than current connection? VERDICT A refreshing setting and characters combine with Felicity's offbeat occupation to create a sweet story of meaningful relationships.

With her latest bridal collection being shown in the Swiss Alps during the Christmas season, Felicity Grant's career is on the rise. But while her professional life progresses, her love life is put on standstill when her boyfriend, Adam, gives her a spa trip?not a diamond ring?for Christmas. As Felicity watches Nell, her top model in the show, plan her own wedding and eventually say I do, Felicity begins questioning her relationship with Adam and wonders if she'll ever get to walk down the aisle in one of her own designs. And then there's Gabriel, a man she sought out for love advice who has quickly become a love interest that might lead to the real thing. Hughes (California Summer?, 2018; Christmas in London?, 2017) again crafts a highly readable story of love, hope, and going after your dreams. While the plot may be a bit predictable, the detailed setting and winter love story centered on the holidays make it an easy recommendation for romance and women's fiction fans.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
