Christmas at Lilac Cottage by Holly Martin

What They Say.....Welcome to the charming seaside town of White Cliff Bay, where Christmas is magical and love is in the air…

Penny Meadows loves her home – a cosy cottage decorated with pretty twinkling fairy lights and stunning views over the town of White Cliff Bay. She also loves her job as an ice-carver, creating breathtaking sculptures. Yet her personal life seems frozen. 

When Henry and daughter Daisy arrive at the cottage to rent the annex, Penny is determined to make them feel welcome. But while Daisy is friendly, Henry seems guarded. 

As Penny gets to know Henry, she realises there is more to him than meets the eye. And the connection between them is too strong to ignore… 

While the spirit of the season sprinkles its magic over the seaside town and preparations for the ice sculpting competition and Christmas eve ball are in full swing, can Penny melt the ice and allow love in her heart? And will this finally be the perfect Christmas she’s been dreaming of? 

Like a creamy hot chocolate with marshmallows, you won’t want to put this deliciously heartwarming novel down. 

Spend the perfect Christmas in White Cliff Bay this year. Snowflakes on Silver Cove coming very soon.

What I Say....I've been saving Christmas at Lilac Cottage for the long Thanksgiving weekend and  I have to pat myself on the back, because it was the right choice!

I always love Holly Martin's books.  They are my favorite kind of chick lit.  Perfect, uncomplicated, romantic fun.  The best part is that it would be the dream romance, the perfect guy moves in next door, and within a few days you are completely in love.  No awkward dates, weird online profiles, or wishing you could just be home in your pajamas.  It could be that my favorite type of books are spoiling me for any  real human contact! LOL

I finished this book on the couch in front of a crackling fire with a cup of tea beside me.  And I was thinking this weekend was pretty close to perfect.

So if you are looking for a relaxing, Christmas read, look no further!  I've actually loved all of Holly Martin's books, so she's a go to author for me.
