A Christmas Kiss by Eliza J Scott
A
Christmas Kiss
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

Do you believe in fate?
What about coincidence? How about all things happen for a reason?
Both of the protagonists in this book are in relationships that just don't seem to add up. They are wonderful people, caring and kind, they do good for others, are wonderful friends. (Not to each other. At the beginning they don't know each other. That is where FATE or Kizmet steps in.)
When the holidays roll around and each has plans to spend time with family, their respective significant others cause waves. Livvie's story is the more dangerous and dramatic. She ends up fleeing her own home for a last minute holiday rental.
Zander owns the rental. Thinking it is vacant for the week, he chooses to lick his own wounds there.
Cue the weather - and two strangers must share a space, at least for the night.
From the beginning we are rooting for them to acknowledge the attraction. Being the good people they are, and not wanting to cause pain for the other, each behaves the best they can. I will be honest ALF tole the story and sealed my love for this book.
The friendship of the community is contagious and I wish I could find a place as accepting and understanding. A great place to escape to, in life or in a book.
Eliza lives in a
17th-century cottage on the edge of a village in the North Yorkshire Moors with
her husband, their two daughters and two mischievous black Labradors. When
she’s not writing, she can usually be found with her nose in a book/glued to
her Kindle or working in her garden. Eliza also enjoys bracing walks in the
countryside, rounded off by a visit to a teashop where she can indulge in
another two of her favourite things: tea and cake.
Eliza is inspired by her beautiful surroundings and loves to write heart-warming stories with happy endings.
