Can the spirit of Christmas reignite an old flame?

With her thriving business Cottage Angels, Freya Bolton prepares the Lake District’s holiday homes for Christmas visitors. It’s her job to think of everything, from cinnamon-scented candles to tasteful decorations and hampers of seasonal treats.

If only her love life were such a success… After being burned by past relationships, she’s now determined to steer clear of love for good.

So when she bumps into gorgeous – and single – ex-boyfriend Travis, a no-strings festive fling seems perfect.

But when her feelings for him begin to develop, is she on track for another romantic calamity? Or could this Christmas give her the gift of true love?

This gorgeous Christmas romance from Sunday Times bestseller Phillipa Ashley will take you to the Lake District with a story of second chance love as heartwarming as a cup of mulled wine. Perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Karen Swan and Heidi Swain.

What a heartwarming story set in the picturesque Lake District. 

I really enjoyed getting to know Freya and Travis. From an opening that almost alarmed me at first until it was explained in more details, to their first re-meeting many years later, this story has it all. 

Travis had a tricky family dynamic, but has made a success of his life, but he is worried about younger brother Seb.  Freya seems to be slightly commitment phobic in her personal life but is running a successful business.

Some of my favourite funny moments in this story involved Freya's mum as she is opening things sent to her for her Instagram account. 

I was in awe of Travis' talent and the descriptions of some of his photos were so vivid I felt as though I could really see them. 

This had a warm and cosy vibe to it, that I was loving. It was easy enough to read despite my post COVID jab exhaustion, and I was able to follow everything and be keen to keep reading.  It was a really lovely story and another sure fire hit for this talented author.
