Fabulous festive read set in a beautiful location. The author introduces us to Sophie, who has moved to the area after finding her fiancé with her best friend and started a new guest house business. There she decides to host an unChristmas event, targeting those who would prefer to avoid the usual festivities.

A lovely story with great fun characters and lots of interwoven stories. There is a good amount of romance and a couple of contenders for the new love interest for Sophie, with one clear winner in the end.

Highly recommended.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Once again a Christmas triumph from Phillipa Ashley. Another visit to the lakes gives us opportunity to meet Sophie, running a guest house to escape a broken heart, and Brodie, a caring vet. Sophie’s intended weekend to allow guests to escape Christmas doesn’t go according to plan and Brodie and Sophie are brought together despite one seemingly insurmountable obstacle. I loved this festive read and loved Harold the dog.
