Christmas Surprises at Mermaids Point - Sarah Bennett

 

Christmas is a time for love, laughter, families and friends, and in Mermaids Point, everyone is getting ready for the festive season.

For Nerissa and Tom, this will be their first Christmas as a couple, but making sure they have time for each other, whilst blending their families, will take some careful planning. What festive traditions will they make their own?

Laurie and Jake are flat out running Laurie’s seafront café, packaging up orders of mince pies, sausage rolls and other delectable Christmas goodies, as well as finding time for Jake’s journalism.  But when Jake’s mum offers them an unexpected gift, their plans are turned upside down.

Alex can’t help but be charmed by beautiful and talented Ivy, but he’s still recovering from his ex-wife’s betrayal and has a secret life he’s not ready to share with anyone yet. But as the Christmas spirit starts weaving its magic, Alex may find himself ready for love sooner than he imagines.

For Andrew, nothing is more important than family. As friends and family gather beneath his roof it's a time for reflection about what the future might hold.

As far as Nick is concerned, pop sensation Aurora Storm is the ‘one that got away’. After they shared a brief holiday fling, he has been thinking about her ever since. Is Christmas the perfect time to finally reach out to her, or is love at first sight just in fairy-tales?

My Review:

An absolute festive charm of a novella which is a brilliant addition to a great series from Sarah Bennett.

I enjoyed catching up with characters from Summer Kisses and Autumn Dreams at Mermaids Point, but feel if you are coming to this without reading either of those, you’d be totally fine as there is enough to catch you up with any fun you’ve missed. (I do highly recommend reading those books though, they are fab!)

I also liked the hint of future stories in Mermaids Point, which I would welcome, as the characters are endearing and the whole feel of the books is lovely.

Although a novella, this gives us a lot more than a quick, simple festive tale; it looks into friendships, love, loss and having the strength (and support of loved ones) to try something new.

A very brief, but very fulfilling trip to Mermaids Point. I shall look forward to more.
