Today we are visiting Scotland again in the Scottish Escapes series, The Highland Lodge Getaway by Julie Shackman. It was published by One More Chapter on October 20th.

Fall in love with the Christmas romance of the year, full of
love and second chances!
Lottie Grant loves the festive season so much that she works
at the incredibly successful Christmas shop, Christmas Crackers, in her pretty
Scottish home town of Craig Brae. But when the shop is sold, her world is
turned upside down, leaving her wondering what she will do next.
Just as she’s about to give up hope on finding a new dream
job, an offer comes that she can’t refuse, managing a set of luxury wooden
cabins… and opening just in time for Christmas!
As she gets to work decorating the cabins, and hanging
lights on the fir trees, Lottie can’t believe her luck. That is until the
arrival of Blake Dempster, a moody but handsome hiking expert, who threatens to
bring down her festive joy. But never one to shy away from a challenge, Lottie
is determined to change Blake’s mind about all things festive.
And as the snow falls and the fairy lights sparkle, will
work-obsessed Lottie and frozen-hearted Blake make their Christmas wishes come
true?
My Thoughts
If you are looking for a festive read, there is much to enjoy in this winter read. Lottie has a huge disappointment to get over at the start, but you soon see her courage and determination in trying new things. Christmas Crackers, the shop she manages, provides lots of opportunities for some humour. In the shop unit next door, we meet Blake who is the polar opposite of Lottie as far as Christmas goes. He hates it. Cue more moments which make you smile.
Lottie's family background turns out to be complicated and at times, surprising. Lottie has quite a lot on her plate but she is a likeable and entertaining character. There are lots of festive flavours to savour and a lovely romance at its centre.
In short: entertaining festive read
