Sophie used to adore everything about Christmas. Hot chocolate and velvet bows, fairy lights and mince pies.

Until the December her fiancé jilted her.

Since then, Sophie opened Sunnyside Hotel, a quaint guesthouse nestled deep in the Cumbrian countryside.

And, though it might be winter at Sunnyside, it’s never Christmas.

Marketing her hotel to those who wish to avoid the festivities, Sophie is busy preparing for a season full of joy and laughter, but without the tinsel and mistletoe.

Yet, as she finds herself growing closer to her gorgeous neighbour, Brody, her heart begins to melt.

Will this Christmas bring the touch of magic Sophie needs to give love another chance?

My Thoughts:

Sophie has been having a rough time of late and now she is not a fan of Christmas, after a major event happens in her life she knows she needs to get away from it all and start a new life elsewhere. The Lake District it is, she ends up owning a guest house and decides to open up for Christmas but not in the usual sense, this time it will be escape for Christmas and is for people that want to avoid Christmas. The characters are all spectacular in their own way and Sophie’s neighbour is a bit of a hunk, will romance come alive this Christmas I wonder? it was a good read to while away the time with. An easy pick me up read and set in the most magical of places. I could almost imagine the crispiness of The Lake District air on my face.
