This is a perfect Christmas read on the sofa with heart chocolate . I loved it . A light happy and sad easy read. I am reviewing it in 43 degrees and I just got lost in the story,Lottie had her dream job then it all changed.. It is all about Christmas and falling in love and people who are synical about Christmas . Just a great feeling book with a little sadness. Read it

Thoroughly enjoyed this book despite the fact it's July!
Loved the characters.. particularly Lottie whose dream of buying The Christmas Cracker shop is dashed when an Italian food chain purchases the property. However she soon finds a new job suited to her love of Christmas. Not so suited to her is Blake Dempster, one of her colleagues.
A little predictable but with a few twists. A thoroughly enjoyable read. Recommend

The Christmas Highland Lodge by J. Shackman, published by Harper Collins UK / One More Chapter, is book 5 in the Scottish Escapes Series.
Read a christmas story in july? I gave it a try and I wholeheartedly agree that's a great idea.
I recommend this sweet story.
Lotti and Blake are such a sweet couple and I rooted for them right from the start. A beautiful story, 4,5 stars.

I really liked the abundant festive details of all the Christmas related decor and activities. It made it easy to visualise the locations and surroundings in the book and gave it a really Christmassy feel. All up it was an enjoyable holiday themed read!

Even though as a book blogger I struggle with reading Christmas books in July, I absolutely loved this festive read. Lottie was an adorable lead and I was rooting for her from the off. Her passion, enthusiasm and work ethic were to be admired. Blake was also a good male lead, and I liked how their story unfolded.

Definitely kept me warm on a rainy day, and gave me early festive feels.
