I do enjoy reading Phillipa Ashley books. This one was no different. A lovely story, well written and set in a nice location, with great characters. This was a lovely heartwarming story full of festive cheer. This is perfect for your Christmas reading material and definitely needs to be on your must buy list. Recommend

Wow Wow Wow this book was brilliant and I didn’t want it to end.
Sophie plans to get away from the festive season by advertising her B&B for people who don’t want to celebrate Christmas. However she has no idea what fate has in store.
The setting was brilliant and just sounded amazing and I could imagine myself building a snowman in the Cumbrian Countryside.
The characters were just perfect and I loved all the guests who stayed with Sophie and especially the different animals.
I’m hoping for a sequel and maybe to hear more about Brodys friend Carl as I thought he was an interesting , likeable character.
An amazing 5 star festive romantic read that I would definitely recommend this Christmas.
Thanks to NetGalley, Random House UK, Cornerstone and Phillipa Ashley for an advance copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

A lovely Christmas story which I truly enjoyed
Characters you can’t help but just fall in love with
A perfect hallmark movie
Such a beautiful setting too the perfect book to snuggle up this Christmas

Fabulous festive read set in a beautiful location. The author introduces us to Sophie, who has moved to the area after finding her fiancé with her best friend and started a new guest house business. There she decides to host an unChristmas event, targeting those who would prefer to avoid the usual festivities.

A lovely story with great fun characters and lots of interwoven stories. There is a good amount of romance and a couple of contenders for the new love interest for Sophie, with one clear winner in the end.

Highly recommended.

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

Once again a Christmas triumph from Phillipa Ashley. Another visit to the lakes gives us opportunity to meet Sophie, running a guest house to escape a broken heart, and Brodie, a caring vet. Sophie’s intended weekend to allow guests to escape Christmas doesn’t go according to plan and Brodie and Sophie are brought together despite one seemingly insurmountable obstacle. I loved this festive read and loved Harold the dog.
