If you love books that are set in a foreign setting, you'll love this book. To imagine being in France with the snow was a lovely thought. Also, the character of Nina is strong, so if you love an opinionated woman - you will fall in love with her. If you've enjoyed Karen Clarke's other books - this one is just as good.

What a lovely gentle festive romance, and another great addition to the Little French Cafe series.

This is a new standalone story, focusing on Nina, who is Charles (from the previous books) cousin, and Ryan, Charles' best friend, who both happen to be in France this Christmas.

Despite both of them having broken engagements, and a whole lot of baggage, it doesn't stop Aunt Dolly to engage a series of not particularly subtle matchmaking efforts between the pair.

Nina really isn't sure what she wants from her life, and seeing her thoughts on how she might be a travel blogger were amusing, especially given she isn't that keen on flying, and by the sounds of it she was struggling to take in focus photos!! However it soon becomes apparent to everyone apart from her what she should be doing as a job!

Whereas Ryan is struggling for inspiration for his new novel, and his first encounter with Nina was amusing and continually referenced throughout.

I enjoyed seeing whether Ryan and Nina would ever stop fighting the inevitable, and there are some really amusing part to the story too. This was a really enjoyable addition to the series, I loved being back with familiar faces, and generally was good fun to see France in the snow.

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

We are transported back to the small village of Chamillon in France just in time for the festive season. Chamillon is just as enticing in winter time as it is in summer and as with the authors other books, I could easily envision it all in my head.

We get to meet some new characters as well as catch up with ones of old that have been in the previous books but it easily reads as a stand alone if you haven’t read them.

Nina is quite a feisty character who doesn’t seem to have quite found her niche in a career or in her love life for that matter. I couldn’t blame her for wanting to get away from it all for a while and what better distraction that a different country and a handsome man to help take your mind off things?

As the story features characters in some of the authors previous novels, you get a warm and familiar feeling with them. It was like being reunited with good friends. There are a couple of threads within the novel to do with Nina and also her gran which I really enjoyed also.

I’ll Be Home For Christmas is a charming story that will make you feel all warm and cosy inside. Who doesn’t love a bit of romance to cheer up your day? I know I do and I love seeing the two main characters relationship develop over the course of the story. It’s like your standing on the side line cheering them on. A perfectly festive, feel good read.
