Snowed In For Christmas written by Sarah Morgan and published by HQ Books.

 


 

 


Christmas is fast approaching for the Miller family which means lots of pressure for the younger members, Ross, Alice and Clemmie who live away from home and are forging independent lives for themselves. Like most families, Christmas brings with it the stress of returning home for a season of questions (albeit well meant!) but Ross, Alice and Clemmie have certain things they don’t want to share yet and so call a “siblings summit” ahead of returning home to discuss what they will and won’t share with the family!

 

Lucy Clarke is not having the best festive season…she is looking at a solo Christmas following the death of her grandmother and the future of her job, is the glue which is holding her life together, is looking uncertain. It all hinges on getting new clients to join the Marketing firm she works for in particular Ross Miller. Whilst working in Scotland for another client, Lucy decides to hand deliver a business proposal to his family home and at this point, everyone’s lives are upended.

This is a gorgeous story that will warm the cockles of your heart without having to put the central heating on! Sarah Morgan and her Christmas books are something of a tradition now along with mince pies and sherry!

One of my favourite things of all in this book was the wonderful description of the lodge and the scenery – I could see the snow covered hills and mountains and the bridge into the village – I want to go and visit there it sounded idyllic.

I was quite sad when it ended as I wanted the Miller family to live on in my life, I wasn’t ready for it to end and would love to spend a spring, summer and autumn with them too – in fact, can I move into the Loch Room and become their adopted daughter?!

Review: One Enchanted Evening

One Enchanted Evening by Anton du Beke My rating: 4 of 5 stars Anton Du Beke has his finger in many pies, professional dancer, singer, entertainer and now he can add novelist to the list. One Enchanted Evening is set in the ballroom of a London hotel in the 1930s and tells the story of Raymond De Guise, the principle dancer, chambermaid Nancy, and porter Billy who all work downstairs, behind the scenes of the hotel. As you would expect dancing is a big feature in this book, but also surprisingly was the politics of the time, which I found added another dimension to the story. If you like Downton Abbey or The Halcyon (the ITV drama set in a hotel) or Upstairs Downstairs, you will love this book. An enjoyable debut novel from Mr Du Beke. View all my reviews
