Please judge this book by its cover 😍 Well for more than just the very fine name of the lead character, I loved this story. In particular, Chrissy, she has so much sass and its refreshing to have the female character in a book like this to take the lead and use her brains. Not only can Chrissy defend herself, but she also uses her intellect to save others. The banter between Ryan and Chrissy adds to the potent mix of their personalities, the reason for Ryan's standoffishness is revealed close to the end of the story, which helps to tie the plot up.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐from me Trisha Ashley has done it again, one of the queens of festive romance, she lets you escape the hustle as the bustle of your workday and curl up in the break room was a warm cuppa and a story which brings out the magic of the upcoming season. The characters, as so often are the stars of the show with their quirky habits and eccentric personalities, help to bring the story to life. As much as I enjoyed unraveling the story of Meg and Lex complicated past, I was also enthralled by the novel way of telling Clara and Henry's. Add in a funny looking pup and I'm putty in Trisha's hand.

A delightful read to get you into the spirit of the season, with or without gin. I adored this book, the characters and the plot, the subtle underlying message or forgiveness and understanding, of others and more importantly ourselves.  Both Finn and Holly arrived on Sunflower island looking to escape and fine direction in life, be that hiding or walking into every opportunity with their socks pulled up and a grin and bare it acceptance.  My favourite part is the scene when Holly returns home and the inevitable confrontation with her sister. I've experienced some of what Holly felt at different points in my life and this scene between sisters was so realistic.  Its definitely  🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟  from me.  As usual, my thanks to #Netgalley and #Bookouture for allowing me to read and review the wonderful #TheChristmasCountdown by Donna Ashcroft Purchase Links: Amazon UK:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07WV4C5GS?pf_rd_p=330fbd8...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A gruff hero, an independent heroine and a mischievous Dalmatian, all the ingredients are there for a cosy winter romance.  It’s an oldie but a goodie and Sophie Claire has incorporated it into her story well, the strong and silent lord of the manner, haunted by his past finds himself captivated by the faults of a lady coming out of the shadow of her past mistakes.  I particularly like how straightforward and no nonsense Jake Hartwood is, but underneath his moody exterior is the capacity to love, woman and beast. It’s Evie Millers compassion and generosity, which makes her the perfect balm for his wounded soul. Add loyal Smoke into the mix and things get interesting. The fact the two main characters don’t spend Christmas in the “usual” way, but go their own way to escape their problems means this charming Christmas read has a new and interesting dimension to a genre with plenty of books to chose from at this time of year. The Christmas Holiday should d...
