The Christmas Castle in Scotland - Julie Caplin

 

The Christmas Castle in Scotland

Izzy McBride had never in a million years expected to inherit an actual castle from her great uncle Bill but here she was, in the run up to Christmas, Monarch of her own Glen – a very rundown glen in need of a lot of TLC if her dream of turning it into a boutique bed and breakfast was to come true.

But when Izzy’s eccentric mother rents a room to enigmatic thriller author Ross Adair and the Scottish snow starts to settle like the frosting on a Christmas cake, it’s a race to get the castle ready before they’re all snowed in for the holidays.

Christmas cosied up in a great castle in Scotland? YES PLEASE!

I absolutely adore every book from Julie Caplin, every location and story incite the feelings of wanderlust within me and I wish I could be right there and this is no exception, in fact I think it’s the one I really do hope I can do one day.

I did not want this story to end (I never do), I think this is the best yet – the setting, the characters, plot and Julies’ wonderful writing style is like a comfort blanket, hugging you, keeping you warm and right in the thick of the action.

I love the characters especially as they are such an eclectic bunch; each have their own personality and it is easy to picture them (or in Duncan’s case hear their accent!)

Izzy is our leading lady and we have met her briefly in the last book (it isn’t a series as such so you can read this without any of the previous books – although I highly recommend you do!) and she has inherited a castle in Scotland she is hoping to turn into a hotel. Doing this alongside an eccentric (but loveable) Mum who has rented out a room to a writer, without Izzys knowledge of course. This writer is paying for peace and quiet although it soon becomes apparent; he is getting more than he bargained for.

Getting the hotel ready in time for the festive season (and another booking taken by Izzy’s Mum) means a real team effort and a lot of

soul searching by all involved. As everyone pulls together and becomes a unique, slightly dysfunctional family unit we see them overcoming adversities in all aspects of their lives.

As always this is a story with romance at its core, but don’t expect smooth sailing, there is drama and tension thrown in as well but with ups and downs will every character find a positive ending?

I wish we could go back and revisit, just to see how they are all getting on. It’s a wonderful, cosy read and I cannot praise Julie enough.

Author Bio:

After reading English at the University of East Anglia, Julie Caplin, who also writes as Jules Wake, worked in PR where she honed her fiction writing skills on press releases.

She’s now a full-time author and what better job is there than making stuff up! It certainly beats housework.
