His Until Christmas is another of Con Riley’s Christmas Collection that involves a group of people from various stories and similar circles of friends. It’s fabulously seasonal, deeply rooted in the special Christmas traditions of the people of the stories and locations they love so dearly. Whether it’s any of the many well known attractions or off the beaten path finds in London or small well trodden pathways in places in Cornwall, Riley makes us see them through the eyes of the characters, as though we look at them with the same vision of knowledge, history, and abiding affection that’s carrying them to those places again and again. We see them in depth , the details sparkling with Christmas lights and lore, magical moments for us and them.
And as the characters, here it’s a torn PA, Jack, fleeing the changes at his office as his beloved boss , Rex , leaves for Cornwall. Rex is leaving London for Cornwall where his husband, grandfather, and new part of their business will expand. He’s been in other stories and is a remarkable man as is his grandfather.
Jack’s upending his life for many reasons, some of which will not be revealed until the end of the story. It’s an emotional, layered tale of grief, remembrance, and love in many respects. And how we deal with those things.
While it helps to have read the other books and know the background history of the foundation and the issues that’s talked about, a reader can pick up enough not to be confused here.
As someone who has read them, it will send me back to read them once more. I remember loving them so much. And I want to remember meeting Rex and his grandfather again.
But this wonderful romantic journey for Jack and Reece ( of the three Trelawney brothers) isn’t to be missed. It’s warmhearted, funny, poignant, and often moving.
And we get to see favorite characters once again at Christmas.
We also get a glimpse at who has the next Christmas story. I can’t wait.
