Totally delightful romance with an unexpected storyline about a unique inn that's been getting bad reviews and money is missing. I enjoyed the realistic angle of the main character having an eight-year-old, the bitchy boss, and the longing to be a good single mom--to be enough. Add in the gorgeous descriptions of the Cornish coast, windy walks, picnics, and a village that hasn't succumbed to big city ways. Great writing.

Rosie is sent by her boss the check on why one of her company's hotels in Cornwall is doing so badly, losing money and receiving poor reviews. She takes her son, Danny, for a stay undercover on the lead up to Christmas but ends up helping at the hotel whilst keeping her secret.
I'm always a sucker for books set in Cornwall, so was really looking forward to reading this. It certainly hit the mark for me, I can relate to Rosie and her way of working, a softly softly approach, rather than the confrontational approach of her boss Susan. I loved the description of the area, the feeling of community that living in a small village can bring. With a few twists and turns along the way to add to the romantic side of the book I ended up finishing this book at 5am I just couldn't put it down. An ideal book to curl up with on a Winter's evening it definitely scored 5* for me.
I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley, however this did not influence my review of the book.

I’m not a fan of books where one character is deceiving the other main character for most of the book. We all know that things won’t work out well when the truth comes out. If you can get past that, this was a sweet, but improbable story about a single mother who is sent by her demonic boss to figure out why an adorable inn in Cornwall hasn’t been earning as much money as it should.

So Rosie sets off with her sweet eight-year old son to Cornwall to go undercover and figure out what is going on. Of course, the manager, Mitchell turns out to be a dreamy guy who is as nice as can be to her son. She falls in love with the area, but dreads his finding out her secret.

It all got resolved rather easily but I still had questions about how the money was being siphoned away from the inn and where Mitchell got the money for his investment in a separate business.

It made me want to visit Cornwall more than it made me want to spend more time with Rosie.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book that I received from Netgalley; however, the opinions are my own and I did not receive any compensation for my review.

A pleasant enough holiday story with a happy ending. It lacked in any sort of character depth and development but did have nice holiday touches

Rosie ends up having to work over her Christmas vacation - She and her son had hoped to have time together, but Rosie's boss insisted she inspect an inn that lately hadn't been passing muster Once Rosie got on board she started to turn things around as best she could without revealing her actual duty. I loved watched her go through all the motions, and the staff was super nice to her son, but the best part is when she managed to deliver the comeuppance that her boss so richly deserved. Her boss made the Devil in Prada almost look saintly, Fun book, for sure.

Firing someone at Christmas time would not be anyone’s favorite thing to do and Rosie is a sweetheart of a woman who would rather try to help out someone. That is until she meets Mitchell and he is grumpy and rude and she is realizing that she just might have to fire this man!

Her son is wanting to have a fun time with his mom and now it seems they may not even have a room. How is she going to turn this Christmas around for everyone and right now she is praying for a miracle of anything!

No spoilers from me, but this is a great Christmas book and twists and turns and developments you won’t see coming! The author does a superb job in keeping the readers surprised!

I would definitely recommend this book!

I received an advanced copy from NetGalley and these are my willingly given thoughts and opinions.

This was my first book by this author and was an easy to read story that I enjoyed immensely. I found the way that the narrative was written in first person a little hard to get into at first but once I got used to it it was fine. Rosie is a likeable character who has had bad luck in the past and whose world centres around her little boy Danny. Likewise, Mitchell has had his own negative experiences in his past and I found the unlikely relationship between the pair fascinating from the start. The story was predictable but who doesn’t love a romance story set in Cornwall at Christmas time?! There were lots of twists and turns in the plot to keep the reader engaged. I’d highly recommend this book if you are looking for a lighthearted Christmassy read and a bit of escapism.

Nothing like the magic of Cornwall - Rosie gets sent to check a manager and finds mystery friends and a new love. Great Read!

I really tried too get into this book, but it was slow moving and I couldn't get into the characters. The story had potential but did not hit the mark for me. People have different tastes in book, so just because I didn't enjoy it does not mean someone else wouldn't!!

This sweet and delightful Christmas tale follows Rosie dispatched over the festive period to dig up dirt on a poorly reviewed hotel in Cornwall, with the goal of sacking the manager. However when she and her son arrive at the hotel by a curious turn of events she finds herself wanting to help, and what follows is her attempt to uncover a mysterious trail of nasty reviews and missing money. Whilst helping out she needs to keep her son entertained and fend off her boss who is constantly badgering her for an update on the situation, all while finding herself attracted to the manager. A lovely book to while away a few hours with a hot chocolate and cosy fire.

Thank you to NetGalley and Aria & Aries/Aria Publishers for a copy of "No Room at the Little Cornish Inn" in exchange for my honest review.

I love a sweet Christmas romance, and this one was wonderful! Rosie Anderson, the single mom to her son Danny, has her Christmas holiday plans upended by an over-demanding boss. Rosie works for Johnson Hotels, and her boss, Susan the Sacker, is sending her to the Old Bell Inn to sort out why the inn is receiving negative reviews, oh, and she has to fire the manager, Michael Fitzpatrick. Despite this mission ruining her young son's Christmas plans, Rosie agrees because she is anxious to earn a well-deserved promotion finally. There is only one problem when she and Danny arrive; they discover there is no room at the inn; they are overbooked!

While the staff at the inn are lovely, Rosie continues to deal with a demanding boss. Susan calls at all times, basically whenever she wants and demands an update. Rosie begins to realize there is more to this story than she realized. With random yet abundant customer complaints and the determined way Susan is behaving, Rosie starts to question the legitimacy of the negative reviews. Oh, and there is money missing from accounts, the whole this is suspicious.

On top of everything she is dealing with, Rosie’s' ex-boyfriend, Danny's father, decides to drop back into their lives after years of being gone. There is just a lot going on, including some romances, and things do ultimately work to a happy ending.
I enjoyed this book a lot. I love the writer's style and flow and found this book to be a delight, perfect read for the upcoming Christmas season.

Thank you to NetGalley and Aria & Aries/Aria Publishers for a copy of "No Room at the Little Cornish Inn" in exchange for my honest review.

When Rosie Anderson and her son Danny arrive at the Old Bell Inn in Little Kettering in Cornwall they find that the Inn is overbooked and there is literally - no room at the inn for them. Rosie works for Johnson Hotels and has been sent to the Inn because her boss Susan The Sacker, wants her to evaluate the Inn and and fire manager Mitchell Fitzpatrick. There have been bad reviews, many cancellations and Rosie is to be there incognito to observe, find and sort out the problems.

What she finds is a small staff who are wonderful and friendly. They welcome her as one of them. While dealing with constant phone calls from Susan demanding constant updates with phone calls at all hours Rosie quickly realizes that something doesn't add up at the Inn. She questions the timing and the viciousness of the reviews. There are 63 negative bloggers that the IT department was able to trace to the same IP address. The complaints are bizarre - the lack of castor support cups on chairs, someone didn't like the colour of the wood on the furniture in their room. The only department that was not getting bad review was the chef and the kitchen staff. There is money missing from accounts but Rosie feels that Mitchell is definitely not to blame.

Susan comes across as an annoying, rude and unprofessional boss who thinks nothing of phoning at midnight demanding an update or requesting a bi-weekly report when Rosie had barely just arrived at the Inn.

Woven into the story is Rosie's cheating, lying and manipulative ex-boyfriend who dropped out of her life before Danny was born but has now decided to drop back in. There are of course, the usual misunderstandings, a lovely Christmas romance or two, and a very happy outcome and ending.

An absolutely delightful read!!

3.7 stars

The book is a sweet Christmas romance between Rosie Anderson and Mitchell Fitzpatrick, the Irish manager at The Old Bell Inn in Cornwall. Rosie is sent undercover to the place to investigate the manager and the sudden reason for the bad reviews about the inn.
Rosie and her almost 8yo son Danny, go to the inn where the story takes place. From meeting the staff to noticing that something is not right, falling for the Irishman, and dealing with the father of her son, Rosie has to find a way to set things right, even as Susan the Sacker, her boss, is hell-bent on firing Mitchell.
The premise was cute, and the setting was a definite bonus. I’ve always been a fan of Christmas stories, especially the ones set in the countryside.
Rosie is our narrator, who takes us through the book in the present tense. She’s what I call a rambler who can go on and on about her feelings, doubts, insecurities, and whatnot. This gets annoying when she is, in reality, doing a great job of bringing up her kid in the circumstances.
While she has every reason to be wary, how many times does the reader want to know the same things about her stupid ex? Her thoughts aside, she is someone who knows how to do her job and is very good at it. Even if she doesn’t stand up to Susan, she stays true to her cause of helping the staff and Mitchell while trying to find out the root cause of the issue.
The romance part is predictable but sweet. The kid is damn cute. The secondary characters are engaging and warm (except Susan, of course). The ends tie-up quite well, as the story picks up pace after 75% of the book. We also get to see Mark, the father of her son, and well, he isn’t interesting or engaging (I don’t think he was supposed to be).
I’ve skimmed through at times and didn’t miss any important details. Rosie just needed to be a little less rambling, and I’d have liked the book even more. I also wished the Christmas celebrations were more detailed, but that’s fine. Not everyone likes to read descriptions.
Overall, it is a sweet and light romance to pick up on a cozy afternoon. Don’t have too many expectations, and you’ll enjoy this one.
Thank you, NetGalley and Aria & Aries, for the ARC copy.

I was not sure about this book first but it really grew on me and the ending just amazed me. I really disliked the boss Susan, the son Danny was cute especially when he saw through his father. Some times you felt the main character needed some backbone. The love element was nice

If you love nothing more than curling up on a cold winter's night and watching a Christmas Hallmark movie, this is the book for you! It really did remind me of those types of movies and I know so many people that love them. It's a cute festive read that will make the mulled wine go down easy!

Thank you to the author, publisher and Net Galley for providing a free ecopy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Sadly, this was not the book for me. Contemporary fiction & romance isn't my usual genre, but I am trying new books and authors, and this book was recommended by others that I usually agree with. So I thought I would take a chance. The summary sounded interesting, and I thought it would be a fun book.

I did not like this book. I went in with an open mind, really I did. And I'm not one of the readers who has to 'connect' with the characters to enjoy the book - as long as the story is good and captivating, I will usually find the book to be at least ok. But this book annoyed me from page 1. The numerous complaints about her job, how 'devastated' her son would be (only because you keep TELLING HIM he'll be devastated!) at not having a big birthday party, the comments about hating her son's father, all the complaints about the boss - really, it was too much. I kept putting the book down, and when I picked it up again, I'd get annoyed all over again. I tried skimming ahead a bit to see if there was a change, and there just wasn't. I ended up skimming this more than reading it, usually any time the MC started complaining, which happened a lot.

I really tried to find something redeeming to say about this book, and I just can't. I'm sorry, but I have to be honest.

I have given this 5 stars!

Aww I absolutely loved this!!

It had all the makings of a classic hallmark Christmas movie. It was set in a quaint little snowy village, with lots of Christmas charm, a dash of festive romance and a hint of drama to keep you intrigued.

I devoured this in one sitting as I could not put it down.

If you are a lover of all things Christmas, this is for you!

Rosie works for a hotel chain, who send her off to investigate a struggling hotel in Cornwall. She has no choice but to take her son with her as it is almost christmas.
When she meets manager Mitchell they don't get off to the best of starts, but soon she realises that the problems with the hotel aren't his fault. She offers to help out and is soon spending lot of time with him, particularly as her son likes him too. What will happen when he find out the real reason for her visit?

Great book i hope this will be part of a series, i wasn't to keen on the leading character she was easily bullied by her boss, but a good book all the same.

No Room at the Little Cornish Inn is a delightful light romance novel set during Christmastime. It is the perfect novel for those readers wanting to cozy up to read a book with a warm quilt next to a glowing fireplace.

Rosie Anderson and her son Danny were all set to enjoy the Christmas holidays with family and friends until those plans are dashed by her boss. Instead, Rose must head out to The Old Bell Inn to perform an inspection of the Inn’s operations and staff — a witch hunt,

After a bristling confrontation with the Inn’s manager, Mitchell Fitzpatrick, Rosie must find it within herself to keep an open mind. After all, it is the holiday season.

After a rough first two chapters, No Room at the Little Cornish Inn ended up being a four star read for me. Get through the rough patch and you will be rewarded with a charming and delightful read, as a Christmas romance should be.
