Title: Christmas at Fireside CabinsAuthor: Jenny HaleFormat reviewed: EbookSource: NetgalleyPublisher: BookouturePublication Date: 14th October 2020Rating: 5 Stars
An uplifting, beautiful and totally heartwarming tale about the magic of family at Christmas, the importance of chasing your dreams, and the unbeatable feeling of falling in love under the mistletoe.
Christmas is always tough for Lila Evans. Instead of being with her loved ones, she’s all alone, and reminded of the heartbreaking time when she lost her father. It’s no wonder that, this year, Lila’s escaping Nashville. She’s in search of a home away from home––and the countryside retreat of Fireside Cabins sounds like the perfect place.
But it turns out that Pinewood Hills, tucked in the snow-topped Tennessee mountains, doesn’t offer her much of a small-town welcome. Stopping at the local coffee shop for a much-needed peppermint latte, the rugged, surly owner Theo Perry gives her an icy reception that even his piercing blue eyes can’t melt.
Unfortunately, you can’t avoid anyone in the quaint village, which means that Lila bumps into him everywhere… To her surprise, on the rare occasions he does smile, it feels like sunshine on a cold winter’s day––it feels like coming home. So Lila makes it her mission to warm up frosty Theo, even if that does feel like she’s hoping for a Christmas miracle.
With nothing––and no one––waiting for her back in Nashville, could Pinewood Hills give Lila the ultimate Christmas gift––the family she’s always longed for? And, with a dusting of festive magic, spiced cider and sugarplum pie, could this be the first holiday she’s not alone?
This without a doubt needs to be the next Jenny hale book turned into hallmark movie.
It has the small time mountain setting, cosy cabins, a fabulous heart warning storyline, friends old and new and romantic leads one of which has a lot of secrets to uncover.
Some of the Christmassy activities described i would have liked to jump into the pages to experience myself. It all sounded so lovely.
I really warmed to Lila quite early on and her personality shines through. Just sees the best in everyone and wants to help where possible.
And Rex is so cute, when they all first met him I couldn't believe his age, he is an old soul on young shoulders. Steals any scene he is in.
Oh and Theo so hard to know what to make of him initially, but then he really does grow on you.
You couldn't have had a better seeing for this story if you tried and it us Jenny Hale at her very best. I always love her festive books and you are in for a real treat with this one.
Thank you to Bookouture and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily,
