ABOUT THE BOOK

Fall in love with the Christmas romance of the year, full of romance and second chances!

Lottie Grant loves the festive season so much that she works at the incredibly successful Christmas shop, Christmas Crackers, in her pretty Scottish home town of Craig Brae. But when the shop is sold, her world is turned upside down, leaving her wondering what she will do next.

Just as she’s about to give up hope on finding a new dream job, an offer comes that she can’t refuse, managing a set of luxury wooden cabins… and opening just in time for Christmas!

As she gets to work decorating the cabins, and hanging lights on the fir trees, Lottie can’t believe her luck. That is until the arrival of Blake Dempster, a moody but handsome hiking expert, who threatens to bring down her festive joy. But never one to shy away from a challenge, Lottie is determined to change Blake’s mind about all things festive.

And as the snow falls and the fairy lights sparkle, will work-obsessed Lottie and frozen-hearted Blake make their Christmas wishes come true?

MY THOUGHTS

This book has had a title change it was previously The Christmas Highland Lodge.
A lovely Christmas book that is really infused with Christmas. Some books you read have a cute Christmas cover but not much Christmas between the pages. Not so with this one, from the decked-out Christmas shop to the lovely snow, Christmas cabins, goodies and more you really felt the Christmas spirit.
All this Christmas but it didn’t feel cheesy or too much just very nice and heartwarming and welcoming.
A young woman and her Mum work at a Christmas shop, she really enjoys it and dreams of buying it when the owner is moving to the states and will no longer run it.
She’s devastated when her dreams go up in smoke as the sale goes to someone else.
All is not lost as she is offered a job as a decorator/promoter for wooden cabins and she’s excited to get going with it.
She and a new hire have a clash up and are not agreeable about how things are running at the cabins. Opposites attract they say as a second chance at love may just pop up for these two.
Full of emotion as we learn why put Christmas hating fella has such disdain for the season.
A charming story that I wish I had gotten to earlier as I’ve enjoyed other books by the author.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book.
All opinions expressed are my own.
