A December to remember…
Christmas in a Cornish castle? Sign Ivy Starforth up! Hired to kit out the holiday rental as the world’s most Instagramable festive dreamland, there’s only one thing standing in the way of her hefty paycheque – the lord of the manor.

Bill Markham could give Scrooge a run for his money but Ivy is firmly #TeamChristmas…even if her handsome host seems to be doing everything he can to sabotage her staging. Maybe she shouldn’t have stumbled in on him starkers in the hot tub?

As the temperature outside cools, things inside the castle heat up. It’s been a long time since Ivy allowed herself to give in to temptation…surely one little kiss under the mistletoe won’t hurt?

This title couldn't be more apt if it tried. It's certainly a cosy read, it's full of Christmas fun and it's set in a castle in Cornwall.

We have Ivy who feels she needs to make Christmas perfect for everyone else after the previous year ended in disaster.

And Bill who Ivy has met years ago as the grumpy not overly festive at all. But he was the one that let out his castle for a massive family of 20 for 2 weeks.

And Ivy somehow needs to turn this sparse castle more suited to stag parties into a homely space full of festive feeling before her best friend, her best friends sister, and that sisters sort of frenemy and all their kids descend.

To say there are many characters would be an understatement. But they all have such distinct personalities that I never felt lost.

I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this story. All the Christmas activities really got me into the mood. 

So many fabulous little touches, secrets to uncover, Instagram worthy picture perfect moments to be had.   Was Jane Linfoot at her very best.

And I loved the mentions of nearby St Aidan the setting of many other of the as authors fab books.

There is even a cute dog, some donkeys and the most adorable pony too at points in the book.

What more could a Christmas book lover want. This was a winter wonderland of festive goodness. I loved it!!

Thank you to One More Chapter on Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily,
