I love Carole Matthews and I really enjoyed the last book set at Hope Farm so I was absolutely delighted to receive a copy from Netgalley and Little Brown Books in exchange for a review.

Carole's books are like a nice warm hug and this was no exception. Molly and Shelby are now a couple but this isn't without it's challenges, he loves the celebrity lifestyle and being surrounded by adoring fans. Molly likes nothing more than being surrounded by adoring animals (and some not so adoring, alpacas I'm looking at you here!). Shelby and his son Lucas have a strained relationship and Lucas chooses to live with Molly at the farm in her caravan rather than the big fancy manor house.

I loved being back at Hope Farm with all of it's inhabitants and spending Christmas with them. Well, obviously it's not Christmas here yet, but it was lovely to escape to.

Warm lovely story.Read it over the weekend put a smile on my face.Carol Matthews never fails to entertain .A pleasure to read highly recommend.#netgalley#little row books group

Received an ARC from Netgalley in return for an honest review.

Sorry, but I feel cheated and disappointed.

I loved the first book, and started this book feeling we were going to further explore the love affair between Shelby and Molly and the development of rtheir family including Lucas in the context of Christmas.

. So to have this book focus on the end of Shelby and Molly’s relationship and the potential start of another just disappointed me. It’s well written and interesting but not for me I’m afraid.

I absolutely adore Carole Matthews my favourite Author ever, to receive an ARC from Little, Brown Book Group UK I jumped with joy.

It was so lovely to go back to Hope Farm, Molly now has Lucas living with her while the non animal lover Shelby is still between the two houses. Farm and caravan life is not for the soap star, and the celebrity lifestyle is not for Molly.

With Christmas around the corner and lots going at the Farm for the festivities will this be a merry one?

Carole's books are always so heartwarming and full of love and laughter, great characters stupid funny animals what's not to love.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I LOVE CAROLE MATTHEWS
This book has left me with a huge smile and wanting to put up my xmas tree. Absolutely loved it! So Worthy of all five stars.

With thanks to netgalley and carol Matthews for an early copy in return for an honest review.
Having read numerous books off this Author it was such a delight to get an arc of Christmas for Beginners.
Hope farm is trying to get ready for the festivities but the animals especially the very gorgeous and fluffy Alpacas seem to have other ideas this is a book about loss hope and what you can do to try and make things better in life.I loved it, it's funny its heartwarming but above all it's full of cheer.
