Rachel Griffiths
Rating:
Amazon UK £0.99
Synopsis:
Camilla Dix is fiercely independent. Growing up, she had to be strong for her mother and younger sister after her father left them for a new life in Benidorm. Camilla has kept her heart firmly closed to love, and never allows her relationships with men to develop into anything serious.
Tom Stone moved to Heatherlea for a fresh start. He's been hurt in the past and has no intention of making himself vulnerable again. The only company he wants at night is that of his rescue British Bulldog Hairy Pawter.
However, when Camilla and Tom meet, they can't deny their mutual attraction, and something deeper soon develops between them.
As snow falls over Heatherlea, mulled wine flows and festive carols fill the air, but can Camilla and Tom put their fears aside and trust each other enough to let love in?
This is the third of four short stories in The Cosy Cottage Cafe series.

I've loved the first two parts of The Cosy Cottage Cafe so to be honest I just knew that I was going to enjoy this one. Rachel Griffiths writes beautifully and you're instantly immersed in the story from the first page. I absolutely adore the cover as well, the use of the snow, the Christmas lights and the holly come together to make one beautifully festive cover.
I've been waiting to hear more about Camilla, so I was so pleased when I found out that this story was going to be based around her. The story starts with Camilla doing a bit of Christmas shopping and then bumping into her close friend Allie - the two women go and get some champagne and take a look around at all the festive presents. Straight away I start feeling festive and excited for the upcoming holidays. There's a lot of description about lights, presents, decorations and it just makes you feel so warm and cosy inside.
As well as the Christmas side, there's quite a bit of drama. Camilla soon has quite a shock to the system when an unexpected guest shows up for Sunday lunch at her mums house! And poor pregnant sister Dawn starts crying due to the surprise. Luckily, Camilla has a friend in new vet Tom (whom she desperately fancies) and feels better after talking to him about her situation. There's quite a bit of flirting coming from the two and I could sense the chemistry between them, Tom seemed like such a lovely guy so I was hoping they would get together.
The thing I love most about Rachel's style of writing, is that it's just such an easy read and her novels always leave you feeling happy and in a better mood. It's an easy escape into a different world and I love it. I really enjoy all of Rachel's novels and I'm sure you will too. Each story has so much to give and as they're only short novella's, you find you finish them so quickly.
Overall, another really lovely read by Rachel Griffiths. I can't wait to read the next one in the series! Thank you to Rachel Griffiths for supplying a copy of this novel, which I have reviewed honestly.
