Christmas and romance are in the air and Nell is obsessed!
She can’t stop watching her favourite Christmas romcoms and dreaming of the day
when she meets her own romantic hero, especially as she is hosting the first
ever wedding at her small hotel, Holly Lodge.
Nell’s best friend, Tom, has been in love with her ever
since they met. But Nell has never seen him that way, and he’s always kept his
feelings a secret in case it ruins their friendship.
After the opening of the glamorous Langdon Mansion Hotel in
the bay, Nell’s hotel is struggling for survival and she must fight, with Tom’s
help, to keep Holly Lodge open. Can the magic of Christmas help two old friends
save Holly Lodge and open Nell’s eyes to a love that was always there the whole
time?
Winter Wishes at Swallowtail Bay is the hilarious new
romantic comedy from Katie Ginger, perfect for fans of Cathy Bramley, Veronica
Henry and Holly Martin!
My Thoughts
This novel has a real seasonal feel. The Christmas lights shimmer and the holly stands proud by the hotel. Nell is a lovely character and so appropriate for a romcom. Although she is a keen business woman, she lives and breathes for the romantic big moments she has seen in the romcom films she remembers. She comes over as a mixture of realism and fantasy. She has a kind, generous character and is a true friend. There are some lovely touches in the story. I enjoyed the situations which arise when she wonders if this is going to be her big romantic moment.
There are some memorable characters- none more so than Brenda, Cat's formidable mother. Tom's Grandfather is also touching and through him, you can see how caring Tom and Nell are. In common with its two predecessors, this can be read as a standalone but is set in a gorgeous setting and is a delight to read.
In short: Christmas wedding bells.
