A Mistletoe Miracle - Emma Jackson

Cover Blurb:



At the Everdene Hotel, snowflakes, romance and mayhem are in the air...

A cosy hotel in a sleepy, snow-covered village should be the perfect setting for a Christmas to remember... But for Beth, returning to her childhood home after a disastrous break-up looks more like a festive fiasco.

With her mum stranded in a blizzard and most of the hotel staff off sick, Beth is forced to take the reins, impress a mystery hotel reviewer, and somehow find a way to work with Nick, the very grumpy - and very gorgeous - pilot who is staying for the holidays.

Between mince pie emergencies, deadly decorations, and two dozen disgruntled guests, Beth might just find a miracle under the mistletoe this Christmas...

Heartwarming and hilarious, this is the perfect festive romance to curl up with this winter. Perfect for fans of Heidi Swain and Sue Moorcroft.

My Review:

An engaging, easy to read, Christmas themed romance. I was highly entertained throughout this festive read, with a well written, flowing style and a nice pace – I didn’t feel like the story plodded along or sped through details to get to the end. I loved how a sense of community was developed through the guests at the hotel and the main characters local friends too, what a darling place to spend the Christmas period I’d say.

Beth is a great leading lady, obviously been through some knocks in life that meant her self confidence was in need of a major boost but she is completely likeable and I did want things to go well for her. I have to say her spirit and dedication as impressive, I don’t think many people would handle things in the same way!

Always nice to have a yummy sounding romantic interest and Nick did not disappoint at all. I was a bit annoyed when I thought his brother might get there first though.

I would’ve loved to get to know a little more of the other guests, some were set up nicely and nothing much followed – maybe we are having to wait for a return visit? That’s be brilliant and I would read more.

Many Thanks for the opportunity to read and review. I would recommend this read for those romance fans looking for a nice cosy book.

BLOGTOUR: Magic Under the Mistletoe - Lucy Coleman

About the book:

Christmas and romance are in the air...

 

It's December 23rd and while everyone else is rushing home for the holidays, workaholic Leesa Oliver is dreading switching on her out-of-office for the festive season. And it seems her equally driven boss, Cary Anderson, isn't relishing spending Christmas at his family's country estate either.

So together, they draft an unexpected Christmas contract: They'll spend half of the holidays with each other's families, pretending to be a couple. Leesa knows the insufferably good-looking Cary will make her Christmas more bearable, but what happens after the last of the mince pies have been eaten...?

Leesa signed off on a sensible business agreement, but somewhere, amongst the fairy lights and carols something seems to have changed... It seems there might just be some magic under the mistletoe this Christmas!

My Review:     

Woah, what a festive treat! For festive fans and those romance lovers.

Leesa on a long-haul flight with Cary – a workaholic, picky man who has deserted her back in economy. They are colleagues but only really start get to know each other better on this flight back from Sydney. With bad weather stalling her original plans, Leesa finds herself heading to his family for the night; both characters do not seem enthralled with having a festive filled Christmas though – will this change?

I must admit Cary seemed like a right idiot at first and it put me off. I didn’t want to like him at all…but… I guess by the end he may have won me round a fair bit, I couldn’t help it.. I got swept along with all the characters and even him! I was all for Leesa from the opening page, she seemed like my kind of girl and if it was a hallmark movie, she’d be the character everyone loves – the girl who has been through so much and is scared, the girl who has readers on side from the start.

Lots going on in this story, it kept me interested and I do love when fate seems to have a plan that ensures our main characters get what they deserve, even if they aren’t expecting (or wanting) it at all. Thought it brilliant that the timing of the book takes us on a journey, not just a quick glimpse in time. We see throughout the book there are complete misunderstandings, drama and family issues that save this being what you typically expect.

Lucy Coleman gives us emotion, heartache and sincerity – such an emotional read, that will give you a cosy warm glow.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           About the author
