Review: One More for Christmas: A Novel

One More for Christmas: A Novel One More for Christmas: A Novel by Sarah Morgan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sarah Morgan has been a top five author (saying a lot, when I read over 300 books a year) for me, for many years. I therefore leapt on the chance of an advance copy of One More for Christmas. I certainly wasn’t disappointed, this author just gets better and better with each book!

The story is wonderful, full of humorous moments, and heartwarming ones too. The scene where Samantha thinks she’s talking to Kyle on the phone is particularly hilarious.

I love Brodie so much, he’s perfect. Appealing, and honest, and kind. Samantha is a great character too. She’s cut off her true self from what she shows the world, but she has good reason. I love the way she is open and honest with Brodie.

Gayle is a totally believable character, she’s obviously caused Samantha and Ella a great deal of upset, but she had good reason for becoming how she is, and she works so hard to do better and build her relationships again. I really enjoyed her character arc, and her developing friendship with Mary.

I loved the setting too, the Scottish Highlands are beautiful and come across well. They give a lovely, wintery, Christmas atmosphere to this story.

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a Christmas story full of heart and humour. Perfect for curling up with on a chilly evening.

I was given a free copy of this book, my opinions are my own.

Review: The Christmas Love Letters: a gorgeous, heartwarming new Christmas romance to cosy up with this winter

The Christmas Love Letters: a gorgeous, heartwarming new Christmas romance to cosy up with this winter by Sue Moorcroft My rating: 5 of 5 stars I love Sue Moorcroft books, and Christmas books, so I was excited to be invited to read The Christmas Love Letters. I was not disappointed! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I loved the story relating to the love letters, and how they (eventually) brought people together. I loved the setting. Nelson’s Bar is clearly a beautiful place near the sea, and all the snow made the book seem extra Christmassy. The characters were also great. I loved Maddy, and the way she’s coped under difficult circumstances, and given Lyla such a lovely childhood. I really liked Raff too, and in fact all the other characters, with the exception of Harris. I understand his reasons, but that is not how you treat anyone you care about! Sue Moorcroft has produced another beautifully romantic and Christmassy story. I highly recomme...

Blog Tour - Murder in Mayfair

  Review - 5 out of 5 stars: I love the Lady Eleanor Swift mysteries, and Murder in Mayfair was no exception. This time, Eleanor is trying to solve a murder and a burglary at the same time. I really enjoyed being along for the ride as she frantically tries to find the truth.  Eleanor is a favourite character, I love her forthrightness and the way she never gives up. She’s also kind and compassionate. I loved the way that she, Clifford, and Hugh worked together on this case. The mysteries themselves were intriguing, and I enjoyed the way finding out new facts gradually revealed what had actually happened. And I was still surprised at the reveal!  As always, I enjoyed the historical notes at the end. Overall, this was another excellent mystery from a favourite author.  I was given a copy of this book, my opinions are my own. Book Description: Tea and cake at The Ritz, a stolen pearl necklace and a missing dead body… Lady Swift is back on the case! Lady Eleanor Swift ...

Review: The Enforcer Enigma

The Enforcer Enigma by G.L. Carriger My rating: 5 of 5 stars Gail Carriger (aka G. L. Carriger) is my favourite author, and I will read anything she has written. I have high expectations, and she exceeds them every time.  This book was wonderful, just like all the others in this series. It was both hilarious and touching. It had a beautiful, heartwarming plot. As usual, the use of language is wonderful, and often playful, in a way that reminds me of P. G. Wodehouse (though the plot is obviously not alike). I really can’t recommend this series (and Gail Carriger in general) enough. View all my reviews
