Thank goodness for second chances
This might just be my favorite Winter family story! It’s nice to finally learn a little more about Kris, who’s been living in Europe throughout the other books in the series. His return to his hometown after so long definitely had me wondering what kept him away… I immediately liked Kelly. She’s doing everything she can to be a good mom & daughter, while trying to keep the family business afloat. Former best friends, Kelly & Kris have a long history. It’s interesting to get insight into their past through flashbacks. They both have many years’ worth of emotional baggage to unpack while they reconnect & sort out their feelings for each other. When the main reasons for their estrangement are finally revealed, I felt terrible for both of them. It made me root even harder for them to figure things out. It also made me want to shout “just talk this time!” Thank goodness for second chances. I like that Carrie Elks writes characters & situations that are easy to identify with. Besides the obvious love story, the relationship between Kris & Cole is one of my favorite parts. Fun epilogue, too. Thanks to the author for allowing me to read an advance copy. I’m sad she’s run out of Winter siblings & cousins.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2023

    I've loved this entire series and have been impatiently waiting to get Kris's book. He's been the elusive brother/cousin of the family, living in London for the past 10+ years. Kris makes a surprise return to Winterville for the holidays, with the intent of righting the wrongs of the past.

    I loved how Kelly and Kris's backstory is told through flashbacks throughout the book. Carrie does an excellent job at blending the past and the present; and drawing you into the emotions of what and is happening. The chemistry between them jumps off the pages. But you also feel the connection that they still have after all this time. It tells a story of young love that just wasn't the right time.

    Kelly's son, Cole, really steals the story. He latches onto Kris, much to Kelly's dismay. And I love the relationship between the two of them.

    This book and the bonus scene wrap up the series in the perfect way. If you haven't read the series, I recommend getting cozy and starting from the beginning.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A close to the series
    Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2023
    Format: Kindle
    The end to a good series, but unfortunately was a little lackluster of an ending. I had big hopes for something more because we had just come off North’s book which was my favorite of the series!
    Kris and Kelly had been friends since middle school. Then something happened and Kris ran away for 10 years. Both Kris and Kelly are great characters – and the best is Cole, Kelly’s 10 year-old son. He’s lovely and finds a special bond with Kris since he doesn’t have strong male figure in his life (except his grandfather). I enjoyed reading about Kris and Kelly, but wasn’t blown away by them. I also felt that the reason for Kris leaving was a little vague and didn’t really flow well with the huge deal it had been made into by both Kris and Kelly. Seems to me that it was both of their faults, but they both blamed mostly Kris.

    So a good series as a whole, but this wasn’t even close to my favorite of the books. And I was hoping for more of a closing for all of the siblings, cousins, and families but they were mostly only mentioned in the beginning. I bit disappointing, especially as a final book in the series.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A lovely Christmas story about friendship and second chances
    Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2023
    Format: Paperback
    During the winter period I love reading romantic Christmas stories. One of the winter series that I really enjoyed is ‘Winterville’. ‘Mine for the winter’ is the sixth story in the series and unfortunately also the last book in the series. This story is about Kelly Fraser, she was a secondary character in the previous stories, and Kris Winter, the youngest brother of North and Gabe Winter. Although he’s mentioned a lot in the previous books, we never met him. He left Winterville as a young man and settled in London, England but now he’s back and in this story we learn the reasons why he left as a young man and why he’s back now.

    When Kelly was young, she had two best friend Kris and Lyle. Family and friends called them The three musketeers. They had a lot of fun together but sadly things went wrong when they were 22 years old. Kris left Kelly and Winterville to start a new life elsewhere. Now he’s back in Winterville to see if Kelly can forgive him for the past mistake he made as a young man and in the hopes that maybe they can rekindle their friendship.

    Kelly never left Winterville, she took over the tavern from her father and has a 11 year old son, Cole. Cole’s father left them when Cole was a baby. So Kelly has been a single mother for a long time. She has a lot of worries because she not only takes care of her son but also of her father. Her mother died when she was young and her father raised her alone. He now has knee problems that makes it difficult for him to walk and causes him a lot of pain. He needs knee surgery but money is tight.
    Kelly is very surprised to see Kris again after so many years. He broke her heart when he left, so it takes him a while to convince Kelly to listen to him and forgive him. Both have missed the other and soon the feelings they have kept hidden for so long return. Now that they are both older and wiser, will they take a chance on love or will Kris leave again and this time not only break her heart but her son’s as well?

    The story was told in both POV’s. It took me a little bit to get into the story but the more I discovered about Kelly and Kris’s past, their friendship and the mistakes they made, the more I got into the story. It was beautiful to see how close they were when young and it was really sad to see that friendship end due to misunderstandings and loyalty to the wrong person. It took a very long time for Kris to return to Winterville, but I was very happy that he found the courage to come back and patch things up with Kelly. You could really feel that they had both become more mature and wiser. I also loved discovering that even during all those years of living apart and far apart, Kris continued to care for Kelly in his own way without her knowing. That showed the magnitude of his feelings. I loved that! Kris was intelligent, hardworking and although he was a good friend, he had difficulty expressing his feelings. Like Kelly, something broke inside him when he left her. Kelly was a hardworking woman, a great friend, daughter and a caring mother. She was both strong and vulnerable. Luckily, she had her good friend Amber (North’s wife) to talk to.

    It was great to see how Kelly and Kris rekindled their friendship and how something more came from it. They really took the time to rebuild their bond and in the meantime we got to see how Kris and Kelly’s son Cole built a relationship on their own. Cole was a good kid who missed a father figure in his life and Kris took the time to listen to him and spend time with him.

    Just like in the previous stories there were some sex scenes in the story. I loved the epilogue. It was nice to see family and friends supporting them. They were there when they needed them. It was also great to see the three brothers together, North, Gabe and Kris. To see them teasing and giving each other advice.

    I’m sorry to leave Winterville but also happy to see everyone happy.

    This is the coziest, most romantic series and this is exactly what you should read if you want a book to read while curled up in blankets drinking hot chocolate. I loved how redeeming this story was for Kris and Kelly, and how much Kris loved and was there for Kelly’s son.

    5.0 out of 5 stars second chance with your first love.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 10, 2024

    Kris was not mentioned so much in the previous books as he left Winterville over a decade ago but we had fleeting mentions of him. Now he’s back to right the wrongs and to ask his first love for forgiveness. Kelly in previous books was always fun but in her own story we realise how tough she’s had it, a true fighter and selfless woman. K&K first met as kids and along with Lyle they became inseparable. As teens they fell hard but Kris being so loyal to Lyle walked away from the only woman he’s ever loved. Lyle really was a jerk and I wish Kelly had stood up to him more but Kris has my heart and he never failed to show her and Cole how much he wanted and needed them. Beautiful love story with some heat and plenty of wonderful family moments. I shall miss them all, perhaps we will have the next generation soon enough.

    Elks, and this one is no exception! The first Winterville book introduced be to her and I’m so happy it did.
    There were a few points in the story that Kris irritated me and I do wish we got a little more information on his relationship in London. But overall I’m sad this series is over.

    I can’t believe this is the last book in the series but it was definitely worth the wait!
    Kris Winter doesn’t make an actual appearance until this book, however, as he’s been mentioned by members of the family in previous stories I was more than ready for him to get his own.

    Mine For The Winter is a former best friend, second chance, single parent romance set in the small town of Winterville. It’s full of everything you’d expect from a Carrie Elks book - the swoony hero, the small town coziness, the fun loveable side characters and a family that you’ll want to be a part of.

    I can’t recommend this series enough

    This final chapter of the lovely Winterville series is a second chance romance. Kris Winter has been living away from Winterville for the last 12 years and wants nothing more than to make things right with Kelly, a single mother. Kris and Kelly had been teenage friends, and have a lot of time to make up for. This series has been consistently good, full of relatable characters and situations.

    Absolutely loved this book.
    Have loved the series in Winterville.
    Loved the storyline between Kris and Kelly. Loved the connection they had as youngsters and so happy they got given a second chance.
    Their chemistry was off the charts.
    I did think that Kelly was going to tell Kris that he was in fact Coles Dad plus I didn't like Lyle from the onstart.
    Really enjoyed the catchup with all the characters of Winterville. I'm really going to miss them.
