Review: Mistletoe at Moonstone Lake

Mistletoe at Moonstone Lake Mistletoe at Moonstone Lake by Holly Martin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been a big fan of Holly Martin’s for many years, so it’s always a delight to start a brand new story. I just love the safe, warm, and happy feeling I have when reading a Holly Martin book. So I had high expectations for Mistletoe at Moonstone Lake, and I was not disappointed!

I love the Jewel Island, reading another book set here is like returning to a happy and comfortable home. The community is welcoming, and the scenery spectacular (this time we discover Moonstone Lake). The Christmas market and the snow make the atmosphere wonderfully festive.

The characters, as always, are great. I loved Kit and Zoey, and the way they initially met was certainly entertaining. They are both lovely people, and I really enjoyed the process of them getting to know each other. The other characters were great too.

The plot was delightful, I can’t really say much without spoilers, but we get a little excitement and a bit of a mystery, but not enough to be stressed by. As you can probably tell, I loved everything about this book!

Overall, this was a lovely, Christmassy and romantic story, which will have you finishing the last page with a happy and satisfied sigh of contentment.

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

Review: Sweet Mercies

Sweet Mercies by Anne Booth My rating: 5 of 5 stars I loved Small Miracles, so I was thrilled to be offered a copy of Sweet Mercies (the sequel) to review. I was such a joy to return and spend time with the Sisters of Saint Philomena again. I loved the sense of community, both in the convent, and the wider area. It’s wonderful to see how all the characters are getting on, they feel like old friends. I especially loved the kittens, and their interactions with Sister Cecilia. The plot was great, I loved all the different threads running through the book, and the way they intertwined. I enjoyed the sense of history, and the way it all comes together in the end. Overall, this book was a joy to read, full of community and kindness. I really hope that there will be more books in the series. I’d love to learn more about Sister Cecilia’s past. I was given a copy of this book, my opinions are my own. View all my reviews

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

Review: The Ice Garden

The Ice Garden by Guy Jones My rating: 4 of 5 stars A magical tale. I really enjoyed this book. I so felt for the main character, as I’m allergic to the sun too (though not to anything like the same extent). It is nice to see a book where disability is not magically fixed, but seen as something you have to learn to live with. View all my reviews
