My review:
Book 3 in the Sunshine Island series ~ yes a standalone, but previous book characters make appearances.
It’s not so sunny on Sunshine Island this time around. A big snowstorm has hit just in time to make Christmas rather interesting.
Jax & Phoebe were super awkward with each for pretty much most of the book. Their relationship developed very slowly, almost so slowly that I wasn’t sure it was going to happen at all.
Jax was the most kindhearted character I have ever met. You can count of him to drop everything if he is needed no matter the circumstances. Phoebe was really sweet and a bit of a pushover when it comes to Fliss, but luckily she finally saw the light with her.
A thing I really like with this series is the small town vibe. Everyone is always willing to help out anyone that needs it. I loved how they helped Helier, a widowed elderly gentlemen.
Overall, a quick and easy read ~ not my favorite in the series, but a good addition to it nonetheless since we’ve been waiting for Jax’s story.
*Thanks to the author, Rachel’s Random Resources, Boldwood Books and NetGalley for the ARC. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review*

Book blurb:
Welcome to Sunshine Island – where the beaches are golden, the lifestyle is perfect and anything is possible.
It’s December and Jax Hudson doesn’t mind the cold. He’s still wearing shorts and walking barefoot on the beach. He’s looking forward to spending Christmas with his girlfriend until she unexpectantly calls time on their relationship.
Alone and feeling very sorry for himself, Jax accepts an invitation to a Christmas Eve party and bumps into Phoebe Bishop who is still mortified about kissing him in the summer.
As the first snow flurries delight the party guests, the festive joy soon turns to disaster when a snowstorm knocks out the island’s power. Panic ensues as people realise their Christmas plans may have to be cancelled.
Phoebe is reluctantly enlisted by Jax to help transport the partygoers to the comforts of their own homes. As Jax and Phoebe spend time together they realise they have more in common than either had imagined…
Could this be a Christmas full of magic, mistletoe and happy-ever-afters?
