I enjoyed this book. It is well written, and the characters are well developed. It’s quite long, but there are multiple threads of plot, so it doesn’t feel excessively lengthy.

It’s nice to see characters behaving in a relatively sensible manner, actually communicating rather than just trying to hide things from each other. And not just flying off in a temper at not having been told sooner. It felt more realistic in a lot of ways than many of the romances I have read.

I’d recommend this book to anyone looking for a lovely Christmas tale of a family coming back together, and rebuilding the local community.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Just as described, a feel good story. Well written, in a believable manner, this is a tale of romance, family, friendship and love lost and found, This characters were all very interesting and believable. A book I could not put down.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a perfect festive read which I found myself losing myself in so quickly. There's romance, family tensions and challenges along the way and I just couldn't put this down once I had started it. The setting is vividly created and the characters written in such a genuine and relatable way; I could picture the village and its residents clearly and I was rooting for them to get their happy ever afters.

This was the first book I have read from Victoria Walters but I'll now be looking for more.

Coming Home to Glendale Hall is a week written story of forgiveness and second chances. Love this author’s writing style and will definitely be reading more of her books. I highly recommend this book. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my advance ebook. This is my unbiased review.

This was so good! I wish there was a sequel. I think the characters have so much more to say! I read this in one sitting because I needed to find out what was happening. I liked all the twists and turns and the imagery was great. The characters were fun and interesting.

Beth Williams hasn’t been home for ten years. After falling pregnant at sixteen, she ran away from the imposing Scottish estate where she grew up rather than risk her family’s disapproval, working hard to build a life for herself and daughter Isabelle - but now she’s finally returning to Glendale Hall.

As Beth tries to mend her broken family ties, and fights to bring the community of Glendale back together, she realises that the story she has told herself for a decade might well be a very different one from the truth. Even though she ran from Glendale it has never left her heart. And, she soon realises, neither has Drew – Beth’s first love.

Will Beth be able to forgive her mother and grandmother (and herself) for what happened ten years ago? What will Drew say when he discovers the secret she’s been keeping from him for so long? Can a festive trail bring the village back together?

Well, I just could not put this book down, it had me sad, happy and every other emotion you can think of. I loved every minute of it and am looking to read more from this author.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It has a great plot, excellent main characters and I read it in one sitting! I would highly recommend this book.

This is a great novel.
The setting was lovely a small Scottish village at Christmas
This book gave me a cosy feeling.
This book had so many great elements within it
The characters developed throughout the book due to the authors excellent writing style.

A twee tale full of family drama and learning to forgive, this book is the perfect little Christmas tale. It's a light read, great for a night by the fire or in cozy socks, and it has its sad moments, but you can see where the author plans to go with the story line easily without giving away the whole tale before it is told.
The cast of characters are witty, the child who is a major player smart without being a clever clogs, and it's a story for any woman who knows what it can feel to be lost and found.

It may only be the middle of summer, but there’s always something so magical and cosy when reading a book set around winter time.

Glendale Hall is a wonderful property on picturesque grounds. It made me wonder how Beth had managed to stay away from it for so long, but then as we find out a bit more about what happened in the past to make her move away, I started to understand.

It was sad to see the decline of the small town that Beth finds herself returning to. Things have certainly changed since she was last there. One thing that hasn’t, is her friendship with Heather, her childhood friend. I enjoyed seeing the friendship between these two as it was so effortless and comfortable.

There’s lots going on within the story to do with Beth’s family, her childhood sweetheart and the decline within the small town. It all blends wonderfully together though making for an all engrossing read.

Coming Home To Glendale Hall is as gorgeous on the inside as it is on the outside. It promises so much and delivers it all and more. It’s a feel good, heart warming read bursting to the seams with family bonds, romance and hope and goodwill. Definitely one you need to add to your to be read file if you’re a fan of this genre.

I loved this book it's so cosy and happy it's the sort of book you can curl up on a cold day to read it.
I managed to read it in 2 days I couldn't put it down.
I'm so glad it had a happy ending and everything was ok in the family. Apart from mum and dads marriage.
I can just see the snow on the ground, better than what we get in England, and the christmas trail.
I can't wait till this book is published.

This book warmed my insides in a wave of rapture. Beth returned back home after 10 years with her daughter Izzy as grandma was ill. Secrets got revealed, and she decided to take action to mend her family, smoothen the rough edges, patch up with Izzy's father, and bring the village of Glendale back to its thriving grandeur.

My first book by author Victoria Walters saw me smiling almost throughout the read. The writing was smooth with emotions frolicking in it, sometimes bringing a lump in my throat, other times a gurgling laugh. Secrets revealed were pretty shocking, and I wondered how someone with so much love could rip a family apart.

Beth was the sweetest character ever written. At 16, she found herself pregnant and was forced to run away to London, after being apparently shunned by her family. Her love for Izzy started in utero and was palpable in the entire book. They were a strong team; their dialogues reflected the joy in each other's company. It warmed the cockles of my heart.

Set in a small village in Scotland, at Christmas time, the author brought out the emotions which signified the true spirit of Christmas. Second chance romance with Drew was powerful and felt just right.

This was a strong book written in a loving manner where each character showed changes as the pages turned. Author Victoria Walters has made me her loyal fan with this fabulous book. A beautiful read, indeed.

A fantastic cosy book for the festive season! Brilliant characters and settings really felt you were there along side them. My first by this Author will be looking out for more absolutely loved her style of writing

WOW! From the first page I was absolutely hooked! I was finding it so hard to put down but at the same time I didn’t want it to end! I felt like I was in the village and was part of the community! Such a beautiful read and didn’t once get boring! Would highly recommend this book to read during the festive season to get you in a feel good mood!

This was a lovely holiday homecoming filled with second chances.

I enjoyed the story of Beth and Izzy's homecoming. Family is complicated and many times have conflicting ideas about whats best for everyone.

In a way this story was somewhat predictable but was well done and kept me hooked. It really gave me all the holiday feels and a lovely happily ever after.

I would definitely look into reading more by this author.

Beth left home at 16 when she discovered she was pregnant and her grandmother told her she had to have an abortion. She hasn't been home to Glendale Hall in 10. She then discovers that he grandmother is dying and wants to see her.

I enjoyed this cozy holiday story. I liked the strong main character and her love interest. She’s a good role model for her daughter and parents took

Coming Home to Glendale Hall is a great romance/women's fiction novel. The setting worked perfectly in this book. I loved that it was set in a small village in Scotland and that it was during Christmas. It really gave me a cozy feeling. I will not go too much into the plot of the story, because the synopsis gives a great summary of the story. This book was about family coming together and forgiveness. The main character Beth Williams has stayed away for ten years for a reason. But regardless of your issues with your family, you'll always come when they need you. This was also the case for Beth, she goes home with her daughter after being gone for ten years. I absolutely loved the relationship Beth had with her daughter Isabelle (Izzy). She was a single teen mom but did everything in her power to give Izzy a good life. Beth is very strong and independent and I loved her character a lot. When Drew – Beth’s first love is visiting as well, things get a bit complicated.

This book had so many great elements. It was just a well-rounded contemporary romance with strong aspects focusing on the community and family. All the characters were great and elevated the story. This book definitely made me feel good and smile. I was happy that the romance didn't overwhelm the story. The author gave the right amount to satisfy my romantic heart. I definitely didn't want the story to end, because I really enjoyed spending time with the characters and seeing them grow. Every character in this book went through major character development, which I loved a lot. I would've liked maybe a chapter or two told from Drew's POV, just to get an insight into his thoughts. But it wasn't something I needed to fully enjoy this book. I can't finish this review without mentioning that I love the cover, it really fits this book.

This is a really lovely book, great to cosy up with over the winter months. A warming story with lovely characters, I really rate this author!

Absolutely fantastic had me gripped!!! Loved it! Can't wait for more from.this author. Storyline was great, characters were easy to.connect with
