The Blurb:

Romance is the last thing on Frankie Bell’s mind as she gets ready for Christmas in the English village of Little Perran. It’s going to be a quiet affair once the annual Great Little Perran Christmas Bake Off cake competition is over, with Frankie, and her little dog Buster, tucked up warmly in Primrose Cottage. Fate, however, has other plans and Little Perran is thrown into turmoil when the film star, Roux Lockhart, comes to stay.

The spirit of the season weaves its magic and a freak snow storm that blows in a surprise visitor. Frankie discovers love from an unexpected quarter, but can she trust it? And is someone cheating with their Christmas cake?

A delightful Christmas love story to be enjoyed with a mug of hot chocolate and a roaring log fire.

My Review:

Festive romance complete with snow, open fires and village quaintness – this is one to curl up with.

Frankie Bell is busy prepping for the Little Perran Christmas Cake Bake-Off and forgetting her wayward ex. Roux Lockhart, film star extraordinaire, is busy filming and trying to keep off the media’s radar. When the weather conspires to bring these two together, the residents of Little Perran get a festive build-up they’re unlikely to forget…

The plot is festively romantic, the writing cosy, and the pace wonderfully fast. A great feel-good novella.
