The Christmas Cocktail Campervan – bringing love, laughter and friendship from coast to coast . . .

The gorgeously romantic new novel in the ‘Cosy Campervan series’ – next stop: Christmas markets, mince pies and kisses under the mistletoe!

Christmas feels like a real gift for Lucy this year. Her cosy coastal cottage is starting to feel like home, her new pizza business is getting the locals ‘All Fired Up’, and she can’t wait to spend it with her new flame Jack, the charismatic owner of the Cocktail Campervan.

Winding along the snow-dusted Northumberland coast for a whirlwind of Christmas markets and celebrations, Lucy and Jack can’t resist stealing a few kisses under the mistletoe. But there’s a twist in their romantic tale when Lucy’s ex turns up in the village. As her past closes in, Jack becomes increasingly distant. And Lucy worries he’s holding back a few secrets of his own . . .

Will Christmas bring a cold spell for Lucy and Jack? Or could it really be the most wonderful time of the year?

Make sure you have your snack of choice and perhaps some fizz, or tasty to drink on hand throughout reading this book, as like the one before it, it will make you hungry and potentially craving cocktails (and mocktails). You have been warned. 

It was great to catch up with Jack, Lucy and Daisy once more. I felt right at home instantly within the folds of these pages, and it was just a warm hearted, lovely story that I couldn't have enjoyed more if I tried. 

It hit all the right spots for me, including smile inducing cameos from characters from Caroline Robert's other series. So for a massive fan like me that was wonderful to see, but if you haven't read anything from her before, they are just other characters for you to meet that have a place within the parts of the story they appear in. 

There is so much delicious food in this book, it's making me hungry even thinking back over it! But above all it is the continuation of Lucy and Jack's fledgling romance, which is not overly smooth sailing.  All manner of bumps and turns for them to overcome and I enjoyed seeing how everything progressed. 

Set alongside Christmas market season, in the snow, with some great sounding events that they are both catering at, this book has it all.   Had me on the edge of my seat at one point too, where I really wasn't sure whether I could believe in the power of the genre of book that this is, to get the right outcome! 

This is just another truly wonderful story from the queen of foodie romance!
