Snowflakes and Secrets in the Scottish Highlands
Snowflakes and Secrets in the Scottish Highlands: A Totally Gorgeous and Completely Addictive Christmas Romance | Donna Ashcroft
4 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
Step into the cosy Scottish village of Christmas where you'll find plenty of secrets, romance and mulled wine! And join Merry McKenzie as she stays at her Aunt Ava's cottage for the winter festivities to try and mend her broken heart... Thirty-one-year-old Merry is escaping to the Scottish Highlands for Christmas. Heartbroken by the death of her father, the man who raised her single-handedly, she needs some time to heal. Hiding away at Chestnut Cottage with only her Aunt Ava's menagerie of pets for company seems like the perfect way to spend a peaceful December. But when she arrives, Merry discovers some curious instructions from her aunt asking her to organise Secret Santa gifts for the residents of Christmas village. Merry's determined to try and carry out her aunt's festive task. But on her first night in the little cottage everything goes wrong - including upsetting the handsome local vet Theo Ellis-Lee when he arrives to assist with a crazed turkey and the mischievous rabbit who's torn apart her aunt's gift list. Merry is completely out of her comfort zone and it doesn't help that Theo is both infuriatingly cheerful and insanely attractive. Merry's plans for a quiet break are quickly thwarted as Theo starts coming by every day to check on the unruly animals, and she can't deny he sets her pulse racing. And, one by one, the friendly locals draw her out of her shell with cosy cups of tea, warm words and laughter-filled evenings in the pub. She finds herself embracing the challenge of finding the perfect gift for each of the kind-hearted people on her list. When Theo offers to help, sparks fly between them. But when the Secret Santa project forces Merry to face her heartache, she's not sure she's ready for a fresh start. At a crossroads in her life, will Merry decide to go home and hide from her problems or will she open her heart and stay in Christmas village? A gorgeous, winter romance to lose yourself in this Christmas. Perfect for fans of Nicola May, Trisha Ashley and Debbie Macomber - and best accompanied by a hot chocolate! Readers love Donna Ashcroft! 'I loved this book!... absolutely perfect... it made me laugh, cry and even blush in parts... a fabulous light-hearted and heart-warming read, which will get you well and truly in the Christmas spirit by the end of the book! Fab, fab, fab!!' Stardust Book Reviews, ?????

Day 24 #AdventRecommends December Book 2

My final choice for #AdventRecommends. A lovely, but slightly different, romance set in the highlands of Scotland. A woman goes to Scotland to look after her aunt‘s animals for a month and finds she is to play Secret Santa but the rabbit eats the list of who gets what present. With the unknown help of the local vet watch her attempt these twin challenges.

Tove_Reads Maybe I should read something light like this after the gruesome homicide a week ago that came too close for my liking. 1y
Andrew65 Might be the break you need. I get my fill over Christmas then get back to the crime! 1y

Very adorable Scottish Christmas romance! Loved the discussion about learning how to do things on your own but also knowing when to ask for help. The characters in Christmas village were so fun and I look forward to returning to this world ☺️

Totally loved this book! A young woman has headed to the Scottish highlands to look after her Aunt‘s animals whilst she is away in India. She is determined to see it as a new start following a traffic accident that left her in a coma and the resulting over protection by her brothers. Suddenly she finds herself having to play Secret Santa to the village but the rabbit has eaten the notes of how to look after the animals and who gets what present!

Andrew65 An interesting relationship develops with the young vet, who is also looking for a new start, and tries to help her but without helping her.

Definitely recommend this book and will look for more from this author.

13th book finished for #WinterReadathon

Starting a new book which was published earlier this year. Christmas, Scotland and romance all mixed together, what could be better.
