Here is another lovely festive escape for you today- all the way to Scotland for C P Ward's I'm glad I found you this Christmas. I am delighted to be featuring it on the first day of its mini blog blitz. There is also a great International Giveaway for you to enter- details are at the foot of this post.
Maggie Coates is frustrated. Her longterm boyfriend, Dirk,
recently moved to London to take a job she fears puts him out of her league.
Despite the assurances of her best friend Renee, Maggie is convinced Dirk is
slowly drifting away. All Maggie wants is to get married and settle down, but
maybe Dirk has other ideas.
Convinced by Renee to make one last throw of the dice,
Maggie books a romantic holiday for two in the quaint Scottish village of
Hollydell. But will Dirk show up?
And if he doesn't, what if there is a perfect man waiting
for her among the Christmas magic of Hollydell's snow-laden streets? What if
Henry, the humble reindeer farmer with the kind smile, turns out to be the man
of Maggie's dreams?
I'm glad I found you this Christmas is a glowing sweet
romance which will leave you feeling warm inside and buzzing with Christmas
spirit.
My Thoughts
This story felt as though the author had conjured up everything which makes Christmas magical and put it all down into this lovely festive read. The setting is amazing and has that Brigadoon feel about it that makes it so mysterious and remote. There are some great characters to meet in Hollydell and you just want to settle down in one of the cabins with a hot chocolate and a good book!
Friendship, family and finding out what is important in life lies along the way as the story develops. You will find Maggie so sympathetic and will be willing her to see what everyone can. Her best friend, Renee is always looking out for her. You can forgive the slightly daffy idea to book a romantic getaway for a boyfriend who is showing zero interest because when she gets there, it is full of possibilities.
In short: Sparkling snow and actual reindeers- a great festive escape.
