Christmas Nights at the Star and Lantern
Christmas Nights at the Star and Lantern: An uplifting, festive romance from Helen Rolfe for 2023 (Heritage Cove Book 6) | Helen Rolfe
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
A wonderful story of love, friendship and opening your mind and your heart to new possibilities that will enchant fans of Holly Martin and Heidi Swain. The Copper Plough is at the heart of village life for the residents of Heritage Cove, and never more so than at Christmas, when the tree glows in the alcove and the smell of mulled wine carries out onto the street. So when new owners for the beloved pub arrive and decide to shake things up, not everyone welcomes the changes with open arms. Local bakery owner Celeste is ready to keep an open mind. But she’s shocked to discover that one of the new landlords is Quinn, a former Navy sailor with whom she had a short but powerful romance years earlier. Fate may have brought Quinn and Celeste back together, but life seems determined to keep them apart. Can the villagers learn to embrace the newcomers this Christmas? And will Quinn and Celeste find a way back to each other before snow falls over Heritage Cove? Join new friends and old, as Christmas comes to Heritage Cove.

This was the first book I have read in this series, but it held up well given this.

A couple of brothers take over the local pub in a small community approaching Christmas, which causes a few ripples in the local community, especially for the co-owner of the local bakery who had previously had a no-commitments brief holiday relationship.

Andrew65 Compared to many romance books this is quite a slow burner, especially as both people are dealing with some baggage. This book is more about the community and events going on, and this as much a character in the books as any person.

This is an enjoyable book and I would be happy to read the other books in the series.
