I received an advance copy of A Surprise Christmas Wedding , by Phillipa Ashley. Lottie's fiance Connor called off the wedding over a year ago, saying he cared about her, but did not love her. It was Lotties' worst Christmas ever. This year she has an exciting new job, and a new man Jay. Will this be her best Christmas ever?

I really loved this book, Lottie has been hurt by her ex but still managed to smile. When her sister is ill too she decided not to tell her sister all the details, I really felt for Lottie having to help her sister and help out with her two young nieces whilst having the heartache of her ex with it. I loved everything about this story, the romance, the snow and of course Christmas. I felt as though Lottie puts everyone first before herself and misses out of things because of it. When she meets Jay I thought this is her chance but Jay has heart ache too. Can they both work out their past and leave it all behind? I wonder if there will be a sequel? A must Christmas read.

A delightful festive read perfect for Christmas/ wintery nights curled up on the sofa with a hot chocolate,comfort and escapism all in one package like a great big friendly hug!
Set in Cumbria amidst the fells and farmland,Lottie recovering from a broken heart gets a new job on a country estate with a little tied cottage and a devastatingly handsome next door neighbour! Both Lottie and Jay her neighbour are scarred by previous relationships and throw themselves into their respective jobs on the estate, however whilst organising a surprise Christmas wedding they get to know each other and in doing so help each other deal with their angst and trust issues! A lovely read that flows well and really puts you in the festive mood you can almost smell the Christmas trees in the forest and imagine you are there!
Thank you net galley for this early read.
