It is lovely to be featuring another Emily Harvale novel. This one is the ultimate Christmas read: Bells and Bows on Mistletoe Row.
It’ll take a miracle to make Juliet’s Christmas merry, but
Mistletoe Row is the place to be when you need some Christmas magic.
The last person Juliet Bell expects to see when she returns
home for Christmas is Harrison Bow. Especially with the most beautiful woman in
the world by his side. Twenty years ago, Juliet and Harrison had the shortest
romance in history, consisting of one date – and one blazing row. But Juliet
will never admit when she’s wrong, and Harrison doesn’t forgive easily, so they
haven’t seen, or spoken to one another since.
Harrison Bow vowed he’d never visit his grandfather at The
Grange, again, or drive along Mistletoe Row, the scene of one of the unhappiest
times of his life. He hasn’t been back for twenty years and he’s only here now
because his brother pleaded with him to come. At least with his executive
assistant joining him, he’ll be able to do some work.
But Juliet’s sister, Zoe and Harrison’s brother, Luke have
some surprises in store for their elder siblings, and so it seems does Fate.
After Harrison risks his life to save Juliet, the least she can do is be nice.
The problem is, Harrison is hotter than the log fire in The Mistletoe pub, and
when she’s surrounded by twinkling lights and softly falling snow, it doesn’t
take long for her to realise she’s in love with the man she thought she hated.
Even if he doesn’t appear to be in love with her.
My Thoughts
This is another lovely read from Emily Harvale. I thought that all the characters were believable and loved the little cameos which appeared from some of her other stories. Mistletoe Row is a gorgeous setting for a Christmas story and actually had a part to play in the plot. This book has all the ingredients for a great festive read. All the elements are there: snow, starry nights, sparkling Christmas Trees, festive food, shimmering lights and warm cosy evenings.
There seems to be an inevitability about the plot but actually, it is fun realising that everyone in the story can see the blindingly obvious, except for the couple themselves. Second chances need to be taken- but will crossed lines and miscommunication get in the way- you must read to find out. I couldn't possibly say!
In short: A super festive read.
