I absolutely love Heidi Swain and her style of writing. This is one of my favourite series of books, but for anyone who hasn't read any(you absolutely must) they can be read as stand alone books. I love returning to Nightingale Square to catch up with residents old & new. The biggest & only downside to this book was that it had to end. I heartily recommend this book & series.

I love these stories about Nightingale Square and the people who live in and around it. As each book is a complete story, it does not matter if they are read out of sequence, but for the full effect it is better to start at the beginning.
This story centres on Holly, who has recently lost her direction in life after her divorce. Her friends ask her to house sit for them in Nightingale Square and she takes the opportunity to think about the direction she wants to take in life.
There is no chance of being lonely, as quickly she makes new friends and becomes involved in community events.
The characters are amazing., especially the two canine comrades, Monty and Queenie. It was so very easy to become involved with the events and people in this book that it was a disappointment when I finished it.

I think Nightingale Square has to be my favourite Heidi Swain setting, so I was so excited to be visiting again this Christmas! It’s a wonderful community and whenever I now visit Norwich I imagine the Grow Well crew are around me!
Holly was a fantastic new character, I liked her desire to move to the square and to give herself a break from her old life and some time to concentrate on what she wants to do in her future. As always, despite her desire to keep herself to herself she is soon drawn into the lovely community and finds herself some new friends in the process.
May is simply adorable, the perfect breath of fresh air for Holly! Monty is just so cute and I loved that he was as flamboyantly dressed as his quirky owner!
And Bear, well he strode into the story and totally stole my heart! (Sorry Finn!) And I would have happily driven off into the sunset in his horse box home!
A beautiful story about friendship and taking a chance on a new start, so uplifting to see Holly make connections and to realise that she can achieve her dreams.
A gorgeous slow burn love story, some gorgeous dog characters and an ending that made me sigh with pleasure, this book definitely gave me all the feels! ❤️

Nightingale Square is definitely my favourite destination.
Holly house sits for her friends. She is newly divorced and has become disillusioned with her job. She intends to shut herself away and clear her head.
Unfortunately for Holly, Lisa doesn't get the memo and tries to rope her in to help out at The Chapel involving the community.
A chance encounter with May soon has Holly involved with the community project.
There is also love in the air.
I loved all the new characters, especially May. They really bond, and it was delightful how their relationship developed. Always love when animals are part of the story, Queenie and Monty were a great addition.
It was also lovely to catch up with some of the regular characters of Nightingale Square.
Heidi's fans will absolutely adore this fabulous book.
Thanks to Netgalley and Simon and Schuster UK for the ARC in return for an honest review.

That Festive Feeling is the perfect book to curl up with as the nights drawn in and the weather turns colder. After her divorce and a work related crisis of conscience, Holly finds herself housesitting for friends in the beautiful Nightingale Square, which is home to a welcoming community of new friends. Holly also meets May, a retired actress who still has a great zest for life.

The book follows Holly and May and all their friends as they seek to ramp up their community Christmas performance. Can May bring some razamatazz to proceedings, and will Holly find a new work passion?

Oh I loved this. I hadn’t realised that it is part of a series but it really didn’t matter. A lovely, comfy, festive, feel good read that has me all excited for Christmas in October 🎄

Full of festive fabulousness and the magic that comes with a brilliantly written novel by Heidi Swain.

Beautiful characters, a lovely setting and the promise of romance set at Christmas. As a reader you are drawn into the characters and the plot. Magnificent.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a lovely festive read.
With the lovely Holly who then becomes friends with may and her dog monty and a lovely man called bear who is helping out in nightingale Square.
She was determined not to mingle with neighbours and just spend time on her own. But this is not quite what happened she became fully immersed lol.

I loved this trip back to nightingale Square.

I love Heidi Swain's books and her Christmas ones are my first choice for festive reading.
Returning to Nightingale Square, we get to catch up with many old friends and meet the new ones this story is based around.
This is a book that gives you a warm hug.

Well, I'm not usually one to mention Christmas before Halloween, but I've certainly got That Festive Feeling & can declare that I'm happy to have started early this year 🤭

I love reading Heidi's books because you know you'll be getting to catch up with old friends (& this one more than ticks that box) as well as making new ones.

That Festive Feeling has some of my favourite elements: found family & called out miscommunication. On top of that there are cuddly canine companions (say that fast 3 times after a gin or two), an FMC who is refreshingly normal & a handsome, rugged MMC who gets a little flustered occasionally. As well as our favourites from Nightingale Square we have the glorious addition of May Maddison, who was so easy to picture in all her rainbow glory.

If you love Heidi already, you'll know what to expect, if you haven't read her books before then dive in, this cosy, festive romance is a great place to start (then you can go back & officially meet everyone).

Now, how long do I have to wait to put my tree up?

Another fab book by Heidi I enjoy all her books her writting style so easy to read you get pulled into the story from the start lovely warm characters and great Christmas setting I love it

I have a few 'go to' authors for my festive reads and Heidi is one. This book is a lovely read and a wonderful seasonal return to Nightingale Square.

Another brilliant book set in nightingale square, always love the community feel of the books set here and this one doesn't disappoint.. Lovely new characters that fit in perfectly with the backdrop of Christmas, what's not to love. Thank you netgalley for the advanced copy

I could not put this book down. I loved it. It’s so good to be back in the square again, it’s like visiting a well loved place. Holly us just fab and from the moment we’re introduced to Bear I was rooting for them to be an item. All characters were loveable especially May, Monty and Queenie. 5 stars doesn’t seem enough for this book.

A glorious feel good story. Set in the wonderful community of Nightingale Square with humour, love and friendship, the perfect Christmas read.

Firstly I would like to thank Netgallery and Simon and Schuster for this arc of Festive Feeling.

If you are looking for a feel good, warm and comfort read look no further as you are right on the money.

Festive feeling is about Holly who is house sitting for her friends after she had to leave her previous residence. While doing so she meets May and Monty, Monty being a fur baby. After joining May and Month of their regular walks Holly meets a handsome new stranger and his little pooch Queenie…..

Hollys progression throughout the book is inspiring, she embraces the life she has with the help of her new friends. She is open and starting to accept the love she truly deserves.

This book is a part of a series but can be read as a standalone.

I smiled through this entire book and I cannot wait to see what Heidi brings us next. I am definitely in the Christmas spirit.

I adore Heidi's books and I especially adore her Christmas books. This is such a lovely read, which left me feeling all warm and cosy. It is perfect for the lead up to Christmas as the nights get colder and darker. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

That Festive Feeling is a cosy festive romance novel by Heidi Swain.
I love Heidi Swain's books and this one didn't disappoint.
This is the perfect festive romance novel to cosy up with a hot chocolate on a cold day.
The novel was easy to follow and had a great cast of characters.
A brilliant novel that I highly recommend. I can't wait to read more by the author.
💖 Thank you to netgalley, the publisher and author for my arc ebook copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

It was so good to be back in Nightingale Square with all the lovely residents that I adore hanging out with.
I really enjoyed getting to know Holly and Bear and hearing their stories.
I also loved getting to know the fabulous May, Monty and Queenie - I hope we see lots more of all of them in the future.
As always, Heidi has created amazing, lovable characters and made Nightingale Square and its surroundings even more fantastic than they already were.

Another delightful book in the Nightingale Square series by Heidi Swain. It was good to read about characters previously met but the new characters made the book very special. Having said that, this book could be read standalone but better if read after the previous books in the series. The quirky setting and characters, including dogs, made the build up to a pantomime and a romance an entertaining story. The bonus for me was that having to rest an injured foot, I was able to sit and read this book without having to put it down.
