We are back in Heritage Cove for a festive romance by Helen J Rolfe : Christmas at the Little Waffle Shack. You can read my review of its predecessor, Coming Home to Herotage Cove here.
Heritage Cove is in full swing for the festive season and as
the temperature dips, who will be lucky in love this Christmas?
It's December in Heritage Cove and along with the village
Christmas tree, frosty mornings and the promise of the most wonderful time of
the year, the new waffle shack is about to open. And its owner isn't a stranger
to the Cove, because after all this time, Daniel is back to make amends with
his brother Harvey – as well as a few other locals he might have offended along
the way.
Fairly new to the village, local blacksmith Lucy has kept up
the pretence of being with her ex for the sake of his gran but she’s fed up
with all the lies. Determined to come clean and live the life she wants to
live, she’s devastated to find that her attraction to Daniel is tainted by the
fact he’s hiding a few things of his own. And his secrets are ones she isn’t
sure she’ll ever be able to get past.
Heritage Cove is full of friendship and community; it’s a
welcoming place people visit and never want to leave. But will it work its
magic for Daniel and Lucy?
A festive read packed with Christmas romance, love and
second chances, this is Book 2 in a series of standalone novels set in Heritage
Cove, the little village by the sea…
My Thoughts
This is the second in a series of books set in Heritahe Cove. It can certainly be read as a standalone but it would be very rewarding to read the first in the series as it gives so much background on the characters. Lucy is a newcomer to the village and I found her to be a refreshing character with a kind heart and lots of determination. I felt invested in her story and that of Daniel.
This is an ideal festive read. It drips with all the Christmassy touches- delicious food, twinkling lights, Christmas trees... Friends and family are important as well. It is important to give people a chance and not presume anything as first impressions can be deceptive. This is a story about starting over and grasping a second chance- even Lucy's cat is a rescue animal! It is a warm, comforting read, full of community spirit.
In short: A festive romance.
