A distant relative. A blizzard. A Christmas of surprises.
Lottie Short isn’t looking forward to Christmas. Her boyfriend has dumped her and she’s also lost her job. Lottie and her beloved spaniel, Merry, are facing the festive season – and a bleak future, alone.
But a Christmas card and round-robin letter give Lottie hope. And as the first snowflakes fall, she’s on her way to the tiny seaside village of Seahorse Harbour to visit her distant aunt. She’ll stay in a cosy B&B and get some bracing, sea air. That might lift her spirits.
What she doesn’t plan for is a blizzard, her aunt taking a fall, or the dramas unfolding all around her. But at least there’s a warm welcome at Aunt Elsie’s cottage … and a roaring log fire in the village pub.
That’s not all that might bring a rosy glow to Lottie’s cheeks. Asher Bryant, the local vet is pretty hot, and Lottie also hits it off with another visitor to Seahorse Harbour. This festive season might be better than she hoped.
And when Lottie gets more than one surprise this Christmas, perhaps she and Merry won’t be spending the New Year on their own.
This is book 2 in my new series of standalone novels set in the tiny, seaside village of Seahorse Harbour.
MY REVIEW
I loved this story!!
I love this author’s books and this was a complete treat to read, I loved everything about it from the setting to the characters – Emily has done a fantastic job at bringing them to life and Seahorse Harbour is simply delightful. This is the second book in her new Seahorse Harbour series but it reads perfectly as a stand alone.
This was a book that made me smile, it made me giggle and genuinely left me with a warm and cosy feeling inside. It is the perfect read at the moment and one that really helped me escape from work, the news and the mundane day to day. The characterisation was absolutely brilliant!
The book was one I read in an evening and I loved every page. It is 5 stars from me for this one, well written, well developed and another fabulous read from this author very highly recommended!
