A Christmas Kiss (Life On The Moors #4) by Eliza J. Scott

ABOUT THE BOOK

A sparkling festive romance that will warm your heart this Christmas.

The week before Christmas, GP Zander Gillespie finds his festive plans in tatters. He’s supposed to be flying out to his parents’ chateau in Carcassonne with his high-maintenance girlfriend, Melissa. But she has other ideas. She wants to spend Christmas in London with her party friends – and he’s not invited. The prospect of facing his family, with their questions and their sympathy – not to mention the ‘I told you so-s’ – just isn’t an option. Instead, Zander decides to head to his holiday cottage in the quaint moorland village of Lytell Stangdale, where he intends to hide away with his faithful rescue Labrador Alf.

Eighty miles away, Livvie’s world has come crashing down. With plans to cook a romantic meal for her boyfriend, she heads home early and walks in on him in a compromising position with their neighbour. Fed-up of his lies and philandering ways, this is the final straw. With her Christmas plans up in smoke, the thought of spending it with her parents and her smug, married sister with her pompous husband in tow, is enough to bring Livvie out in hives. So, when she fires up her laptop and finds the perfect little holiday cottage in Lytell Stangdale available to rent over the festive period, it seems the perfect solution. Or is it…?

Zander didn’t believe in love at first sight until he set eyes on Livvie. Livvie had sworn off men until she met Zander. The pair may be reluctant to give in to temptation, but fate seems to have other ideas…

Join Livvie and Zander – and all the usual characters – for a magical Christmas in Lytell Stangdale.

The perfect cosy read to snuggle up with this Christmas.

MY REVIEW

I am thrilled to be a part of this blog tour of A Christmas Kiss, book 4 of the Life on the Moors series which can be read on its own. It is a wonderfully fun and meaningful journey about a couple in unhappy relationships who find “the one” from a mix-up with a holiday booking.

Livvie discovers her nasty ex, Donny, with the neighbor and quickly books her holiday vacation at a cottage in the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors. Zander realizes his selfish girlfriend would rather spend the holidays with her friends rather than with him, so he decides to spend time at his cottage in Lytell Stangdale. When they realize they double-booked the cottage, the attraction begins…

I love this holiday romance with the gorgeous and clueless Zander and the beautiful and insecure Livvie, but the one that steals the show is Alf, the adorable black labrador, and feisty Granny Aggie, of course.

Ms. Scott’s descriptions of the lovely landscape of the Moors are incredibly inviting over the Christmas holidays and are on my growing bucket list of places to visit.

If you love a slow cozy romance with beautiful landscapes, quirky characters and unforgettable moments, give this book a try. Recommend highly.

Thank you to Ms. Scott for giving me the opportunity to review this book with no expectation of a positive review.
