Synopsis: It's been too long since the entire Quinn family has been able to celebrate the holidays under the same roof, but that's about to change. With Bart back safe from Afghanistan, the Quinns are preparing for a holiday more joyous than nay they've experienced in years. And Bart's safe return isn't the family's only good news. Kevin is enjoying married life with Isabelle; Patrick's getting back on his feet after paying his debt to society; Ava thinks she's finally found the love of her life; and Kelly is thrilled to see his family reunited at last. But is just wouldn't be a Quinn family gathering if things went smoothly. A celebration of everything we love - and some of the things we endure - about the holidays, Winter Solstice is Elin Hilderbrand at her festive best.
Review: *This is recommended because it's the last in the Winter Street series. I don't recommend reading this, or the other three even, as a stand-alone book.
I enjoyed this series, which began as a trilogy, but felt Winter Solstice was the weakest book. The introduction of new characters added story lines I simply didn't care about. This book also ended on a sad note, whereas Winter Storms ended with a glimmer of hope. I just wasn't overly impressed. Elin Hilderbrand is a better author than this novel leads one to believe.
