ABOUT THE BOOK

Christmas at Honeycombe Bay
Two Scrooges come together for a festive-free holiday season by the sea and find all their anti-Christmas plans going up in smoke when they decide to play Santa for a single mom and her child.
Eloise Garrett thinks Christmas is overpriced, overhyped, and overrated, and without any family to share it with, she feels sad, lonely and isolated. The “season for giving” is just a constant reminder that she’s single, sixty(ish), and staring down retirement. But not this Christmas. Determined to avoid the most magical time of the year, Eloise decides to spend Christmas in Honeycombe Bay. Surely a seaside village in the middle of winter won’t be too festive?
Ever since his wife passed away, Bartholomew Knott hasn’t felt up to welcoming visitors to his guest house. With the prospect of another long, lonely winter, and having become more Scrooge than Santa over the years, Bart is dreading Christmas. However, when he’s contacted by someone who dislikes decking the halls just as much as he does, Bart has the brilliant idea of opening the guest house to people who want to escape all things festive.
Christmas isn’t easy to ignore, though, not even in off-season Honeycombe Bay. So when fate forces Bart to give shelter to a single mother and child whose holiday has been devastated by a terrible fire, Eloise finds herself playing Mrs. Claus to Bart’s Santa—dragging the house’s other guest, a heartbroken teacher looking for a break during the holidays, into the action as well. But holiday cheer isn’t the only thing sparking under the mistletoe. Will the guests at Honeycombe Bay realize that, sometimes, the best way to escape Christmas is to let it into your heart?

MY THOUGHTS

I am a big fan of Lilac Mills books and always look forward to a new one coming out especially one taking place at Christmas time.
Eloise Garrett is so over Christmas and it hasn’t even happened yet. Christmas is just too Christmassy for her. After all what’s the big deal, she has no one to buy for aside from a few friends and she doesn’t enjoy the hype or everyone’s else’s fixation with it.
Time away at a bed and breakfast in Honeycombe Bay is just what she needs and its holiday free because the owner of this lovely little seaside resort isn’t celebrating either since the loss of his wife celebrating without her around just isn’t something he can see himself doing.
The seaside resort owner, Bartholomew Knott and Eloise are both sixty something and seem to have a lot in common and are enjoying time together as she’s the only one staying at the inn for now over the holidays. As their talks become personal, they find themselves becoming close. When other guests arrive they all pitch in to help a single mother and her child having an unfortunate event happen to them. I enjoyed getting to know all the characters and enjoyed them all equally.
It was heartwarming seeing the Christmas spirit awaken in the hearts of the characters who though they didn’t need Christmas. So many want to help a young child and his mother at Christmas time helping hand and hearts get a sprinkling of magic and it’s a beautiful thing. Romance is popping up for several couples unexpectedly and this is such a heartwarming and fun book.
Highly recommended!

Author Bio – Lilac Mills lives on a Welsh mountain with her very patient husband and incredibly sweet dog, where she grows veggies (if the slugs don’t get them), bakes (badly) and loves making things out of glitter and glue (a mess, usually). She’s been an avid reader ever since she got her hands on a copy of Noddy Goes to Toytown when she was five, and she once tried to read everything in her local library starting with A and working her way through the alphabet. She loves long, hot summer days in the garden, and cold winter ones snuggled in front of the fire, but whatever the weather she’s usually writing or thinking about writing, with heartwarming romance and happy-ever-afters always on her mind.

Lilac also writes under the pseudonyms Liz Davies and Etti Summers
