Review: Love at the Northern Lights

Love at the Northern Lights by Darcie Boleyn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Frankie is a runaway bride – fleeing from Rolo, a man she doesn’t love, but who she feels duty bound to marry, to please her grandmother. After running out on the wedding, she’s not sure what to do, and ends up at the airport. Making an impulsive decision, she books a flight to Norway to track down her estranged Mum, a mum who walked out on her when she was a very young baby, and who ended up living in Norway. One day, Frankie encounters a Norwegian stranger Jonas and they quickly develop a friendship, and together they find her mother. All too soon Frankie has to return to her privileged life in London, but where will fate take her?

Darcie Boleyn has become one of my favourite authors, and I didn’t think anything could beat the Conwenna Cove series, until I read this! I absolutely adored this story– the description of Norway was enchanting, and the whole tale was captivating and the characters were completely believable.

Having spent a weekend in Norway many years ago, this book bought back so many lovely memories, and I felt like I was transported back there again.

Maybe Next Christmas by Emma Heatherington

Maybe Next Christmas" by Emma Heatherington was a delightful festive read that truly delivered in the end. While I found the beginning a little slow, once the story picked up, I was completely hooked and couldn’t put it down! Emma's storytelling and knack for building relatable, heartfelt characters shines through, making the journey worth it. The Christmas charm, along with themes of love and second chances, make this one feel as cozy as her other novels. Definitely recommended for fans of Christmas romances or anyone looking for a feel-good, warm festive read!
