I enjoyed this holiday themed book. I love reading Christmas books in the holiday season. The atmosphere is perfect for some romance and second chances in life.

This is a captivating Christmas read filled with emotion, mystery, and family drama. Maddy, struggling financially and raising her unborn child alone after her husband's disappearance, moves in with her Aunt Ruthie in Norfolk, England. Little does she know, her quiet existence is about to be disrupted when a man named Rafferty shows up with secrets involving her aunt. The story beautifully explores themes of love, loss, and the complexities of family relationships. With well-developed characters and unexpected twists, including a touching exploration of lost letters, this novel is a heartwarming and engaging read that keeps readers hooked until the end.

A really lovely read. A story of family and friends and how families are all made up the same.
As you get to know the characters more you will become more engaged in their lives and the stories they have to tell.
I really enjoyed this book, but you will need the tissues ready at times!

This one was a sweet Christmas read, That ended up being a fairly quick read for me. But I think know I'm burnt out on Christmas reads.

I really enjoyed this story, the dynamic between Maddy and Ruthie was lovely and the setting is just gorgous.

This book is perfect for those cold winter nights when you just want to curl up and escape into a great read with lots of emotion and heart this is the perfect christmas read.

Why, as a woman, do you write such horrible MMC when real men already exist? Am I not supposed to root for this couple? Because that guy (what's his name already? something dumb, that's all I remember) was so selfish and insufferable, omg. The pacing was also weird, it dragged when it shouldn't and the interesting parts were way too short for my liking. the only redeeming grace to this book was the letters. Those two were simply the sweetest couple ever which balanced the other two idiots. A mid read on my part.

I really enjoyed The Christmas Love Letters and got caught up in the story and characters. I would definitely recommend adding it to you holiday reads! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher.

I don't know if it was because it was an ebook ARC or what but the formatting was all messed up and weird. The story was honestly a little too boring for me and I ended up not finishing it. If you really love Christmas books, you may like it. But I just found it to be blah.

Wow, wow, wow, I loved this book so much. Blended families always make for such interesting reads and this was no exception. A missing father, love stories old and new and an unconventional family arrangement make for a lovely heart-warming story perfect for the festive season.

Maddie is a carer for her great Aunt and a meeting unearths secrets that are difficult to tell. It is very sensitively written and it is very interesting to hear the story unfold from the very old letters her aunt has kept for years. A lovely book about secrets, family, reunions and long held wishes. A lovely book.

This book felt like a slog - there is Mandy’s back story with her missing husband, as well as a burgeoning relationship with Raff. Plus Ruthie’s back story (married lover and illegitimate child). I found it difficult to become invested in any of these threads. I found Raff to be childish, how can I be expected to warm to a love interest who ghosts the main character as soon as the going gets tough? I found the behaviour of Ruthie’s new discovered family to be appalling (raising and then dashing her hopes for a meeting) and then, as soon as they meet, Ruthie is talking about changing her will … felt a bit like financial abuse!

An okay read, but don’t expect to like any of the characters.

Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from NetGalley. I've enjoyed previous books by Sue Moorcroft and this was another enjoyable read. The story was engaging and well-written.

Lovely heartwarming story of family secrets, lost loves and family. Sue moorcroft writes beautifully and draws you in to her tale and the characters. A cosy read perfect for a chilly night

This was super cute— I love a feel-good Christmas story and this one delivered. (It should have been a quicker read but Christmas was busy busy this year and I read it with crossed eyes as I was falling asleep late every night—but that didn’t take away from the story at all). Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC

Madddie's Aunt Ruth has a hidden history of true love, recorded in letters. Maddie's life is about to change, perfect reading for a cold winter's day .

It's Christmas and what better time to read a lovely Christmas novel. And being a fan of this author and being a fan of Christmas I couldn't wait to read this one. And what a lovely read it was.

Love the characters, the setting, I felt I was there. A great read, a feel good book and one that took me no time at all to devour. There is humour and love, there is romance and emotion, there are secrets and heartbreak. It has it all and I enjoyed every minute of reading this book.

Thank you NetGalley and Avon Books UK for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

One of my favourite things about Sue Moorcroft has to be how steadfast she is. I know I can always count on her for a story that gets me in the feels, that has just that inkling of "what if that were me?". And The Christmas Love Letters is no different.
Now, let's be real, Christmas is undoubtedly what this author does best. But with this one, I definitely had some moments of "oh, right, this definitely reads like a Sue Moorcroft-book', you know what I mean? Luckily, though, that sprinkle of 'je ne sais quoi' is the opposite of a problem - which made this one a perfect read for the lead up to Christmasi

Really lovely festive read for Christmas. Perfect balance of lighthearted humour, romance and angst.

I did feel however the ending/epilogue was sickly sweet - it did have me rolling my eyes!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for my review.

One thing I appreciate immensely about Sue Moorcroft's books is that you know exactly what you're getting when you pick one up. This book has all the hallmarks: realistic and lovable characters, a strong feeling of community, and a heartwarming story.

But don't be fooled into thinking this all story takes place in some utopian little village where nothing bad ever happens. There are plenty of lies and secrets, emotional and physical hurt, heartbreak and loss.

Part Christmas romance, part family drama, but full of heart on every single page. A delightful read, like always.
