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.
