The ghosts of Rowan Vale are back, with another heart-warming tale about love and understanding. This is the third book in the series. You don't need to have read the previous ones to understand what is going on, although there are very small spoilers for them. (Then again, this is a cosy romance series, so its hardly a real spoiler that characters get together and have a happier ever after.)

This time, Jack and Clara, the owners of the miniature village are the focus. I loved that the main female character is someone different - she's 41, she's already married to the love of her life and she's struggling with being a mother and wife. This is not your regular romantic lead, and I adored Clara. Her struggles, her feelings were so real and her fear was a thousand percent understandable. What woman doesn't fear she's being lost in the role of 'mum' at times?

Her secret was a little obvious - not the details, but it was clear that what the overall 'what' would be. I did audibly gasp at one of the twists however, and yet again I was reminded that I didn't like a certain human character. I don't care how he justified his actions, his behaviour was terrible and Clara, as her husband says, is incredibly forgiving.

In my review of the previous book I had listed some of the stories I really hoped we would explore, and one of them was the ghosts of the Hall, so I was so excited when I realised we were finally going to get some of answers about their past. We don't learn it all, but at least we finally know why they don't go out of the grounds. My heart broke for poor Aubrey and I'm so glad he got some closure and some real happiness at long last.

The Christmas setting was fun and in the current heat, I really needed to imagine the lovely coolness, the lights, the hot chocolate. It really is the most wonderful time of the year and the writer has captured the feelings well.

Very entertaining and I look forward to book four, this has become my favourite cosy series.

I had read the first two books in this series, so I was quite ready to read the latest one. This book is centered around Jack and Clara, and the secret she is keeping. One of the things I like about these books is the feel-good aspect, and this delivers it in spades. It’s well-written, enchanting, and so darn cute. I was a little disappointed with the way something worked out (no spoilers), but that is my own personal opinion. If you loved the previous books, you’ll definitely love this latest installment. Recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

I really enjoyed getting into this cozy mystery fantasy that I was wanting and enjoyed in this type of book. I was invested in what was going on and enjoyed the use the ghosts of Christmas during this paranormal romance. I enjoyed getting into this world and how the characters worked together with the paranormal romance going on. Sharon Booth has that element that I was looking for and was glad it had that element that I was looking for.
