Christmas at Hope Cottage

by Lily Graham

[Emma (SCR)]

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews Thank you to Bookouture for letting me take part in this tour. I love nothing more than a good festive read and this cover grabbed me immediately.

The first chapter was quite shocking and not at all what I was expecting. When Emma returns to Hope Cottage everything she left behind is still there. Her ex, Jack, the family legacy and the age old feud between the Allan's, the Lea's and the Holloway's. This is not what Emma needs to help her on her road to recovery. I felt for Emma. Her recovery seemed so frustrating. I can't imagine having your sense so screwed up like that and not being able to read would be so difficult for me.

The story was an easy one to read and had a real feel good factor to it. It was festive and comforting which is perfect for these winter nights that are now upon us. There were some really great recipes, I especially loved the Good Cheer Christmas Cake, I loved that the whole village got a piece.

I really enjoyed my trip to Whistling and I look forward to reading more of Lily's books in the future.
