Mistletoe at Moonstone Lake - Holly Martin

 



Escape to the breathtaking Cornish Coast this winter, where the ocean sparkles in the moonlight and romance crackles like an open fire. This gorgeous new love story by Holly Martin, bestselling author of Sunlight Over Crystal Sands, is the perfect treat to warm your heart this Christmas.

Artist Zoey Flynn hadn’t planned to spend her favourite holiday on the shores of Jewel Island, but when her fiancĂ© breaks off their engagement before their Christmas Eve wedding, this Cornish paradise is just the distraction she needs.

With a cosy cottage to call home for a month and a stall at the island’s famous Christmas market to sell her paintings, Zoey quickly puts her heartbreak behind her. Love is the last thing on her mind. That is until the handsome Kit Lewis crosses her path…

Their connection is instant, but Zoey has a secret. And the deeper she and Kit fall for one another, the harder it is to hide. Kit knows Zoey is holding something back and if she won’t tell him the truth she could lose him forever.

Is keeping a promise from the past worth sacrificing a future with the man she loves? Or might Kit be the one person she can trust?

Love, laughter and long-hidden secrets are waiting for you on stunning Jewel Island. For fans of Jill Mansell, Sarah Morgan and Sue Moorcroft, this is the perfect tale to curl up with this Christmas.

My Review:

Holly Martin is one of my favourites all through the year but there is something extra lovely about her festive reads. Mistletoe at Moonstone Lake gave me all the wonderful, Christmas warm and fuzzies so get cosy and enjoy.

I’d happily live on Jewel Island at the best of times, but this Christmas Market sounds right up my street. I instantly imagined the sounds, smells and sights, I could picture the people milling around each seller, enjoying Kit’s tasty delights, and grabbing those festive gifts. Jewel Island events always sound amazing, and this is no exception.

Main characters – Zoey and Kit are instant favourites for me. I was a bit dubious about Zoey at first, she was keeping a secret and I hoped it wouldn’t be something terrible or too heart breaking, although you can start to connect the dots. I think this story emphasises how small a world we live it too – I was so surprised by the connection between the two.

There is instant chemistry between Kit and Zoey, and I loved how it developed. With all romances there are obstacles and bumps in the road but you are keen to see that they could overcome them.

This is a series I will never tire of reading about, you don’t have to have read the previous books but I do recommend them as they are great. Fans of the previous books set here will be happy that old favourites make cameos throughout.

I cannot recommend enough, treat yourself to some festive cheer!
