 Synopsis:

 

It’s Christmas time in Lytell Stangdale!When Romy Stainthorpe sees Holly Tree Cottage staring back at her from the pages of a magazine, she’s sure it’s a sign. The quaint property is situated in Lytell Stangdale, a village in the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors. Her time there is steeped in happy memories of carefree days with the moorland wind blowing through her hair. And not just that, it’s where she had her first kiss and where she first fell in love.

It was her perfect place, where she felt most at home. Until her family’s hasty departure years twenty-one years earlier. Since that day, Romy has never been back, but the cottage has regularly crept into her thoughts. And now it’s available to rent for the festive season…

Could it be the perfect getaway Romy needs to get her life back on track, not to mention escape her friends’ well-meaning attempts at matchmaking since her divorce from Russ?

Local farmer, Finn Tindall is struggling to navigate the first Christmas since his ex-wife took herself and their sons to live in the US. He’s thrown himself into his work at Castlegate Farm and rarely ventures out, unable to face the pitying glances thrown his way. His only company is his loyal black Labrador Ted.

Convinced that fate is talking to her, Romy heads back to a snowy Lytell Stangdale. Once there, she’s thrilled to see the village is looking Christmas card-pretty and has embraced the festive period. The only place where there’s no Christmas cheer is Finn’s heart.

It doesn’t take long before Romy and Finn’s paths cross, setting long-hidden emotions stirring once more. Suddenly Christmas doesn’t seem so gloomy after all.

Could this be the exciting fresh start each of them deserves?

Will Finn and Romy decide their second chance at love is worth fighting for? Or will the obstacles put in their way make them think it’s time to say goodbye?

 

 

Review:


 
Christmas At Holly Tree Cottage is a gorgeous festive novel. I thoroughly enjoyed this wholesome and heartwarming story so much I couldn't put it down.

When Romy spotted her family's old cottage on a magazine she decided to book it for Christmas, to go back to a place where she was happy and left so many good memories and friends.

I loved Romy and Finn. Their first try at love was completely blown off by events bigger than them. But now, after so many years and with a little more experience, they realise their feelings haven't changed and they easily go back to the comfortable relationship they had.

Eliza J. Scott writing is beautiful, with wonderful descriptions of the Moors and the small town of Lytell Stangdale. The characters are well developed, and thanks to the flashbacks of the past Romy and Finn's story is perfectly told.
