Bluebell's Christmas Magic by Marie Laval


Today I'm on the Blog tour for this wonderful festive treat from Marie Laval. Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for inviting me to join the tour and for my copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. 




Book Description
A gorgeous new Christmas story from the author of best selling novel Little Pink Taxi

A flick of a feather duster and a sprinkle of Christmas magic …
Cassie Bell is used to mess. Her cleaning business, Bluebell Cleaning, is well known in the Cumbrian village of Red Moss. However, now it’s almost Christmas and Cassie has a slightly messier situation to deal with than she’s used to.

She’s been hired to help Stefan Lambert, an injured army helicopter pilot who’s staying at the local Belthorn Manor whilst he recovers. Stefan resents Cassie’s interference and is definitely not looking for Christmas cheer. But Cassie prides herself on sparkling surfaces – so, can she bring some festive sparkle to Stefan’s life too? 





My Review
This is a fun and light hearted festive read that will have you hooked from the first page to the last. 
Cassie Bell runs the cleaning company, Bluebell Cleaning from the village of Red Moss, a beautiful area in the Lake District. 
Cassie is a member of staff down after her best friend left the village to live with her boyfriend. This means that Cassie has to go to work at Belthorn Manor. This is somewhere that fills her with dread and gives her the chills. She has been employed to work there by the owner who is having a guest stay there over the festive season.  She will not just be cleaning but also helping the visitor there with any day to day requests. What she wasn't prepared for was the guest to be there already before her arrival and give her a fright. 
Stefan Lambert has arranged to stay in Belthorn Manor as a way of escaping the world and try and heal his injuries after being injured while working as an army helicopter pilot. 
All Stefan wants is solitude and the chance to get over what has happened to him. What he wasn't happy about was the fact that with Cassie around he won't get the peace he is craving. 
Cassie and Stefan soon start spending more time together and begin to get to know each other. The pair of them seem to be able to bring each other out of their shells  and this proves to be a great support for Cassie when things in her life start to go wrong. 
Burglaries have been happening and Cassie is the main suspect. Things also change for Cassie when her ex boyfriend appears back on the scene. 
With all this going on will Stefan be able to defend Cassie and help her to prove she is innocent. Will romance spark between the two of them too. Anything is possible at Christmas. 
I loved this book from start to finish as it is perfect for the festive season. 
The characters within the book are so very well written and its great getting to know more about them and their lives. I loved reading the relationship that Cassie has with her grandfather its very touching and the bond they have is amazing. 
The writing style of this book is brilliant it flows well and all the twists and turns are completely surprising.
This book is full of drama, romance and twists turns throughout and will leave you unable to put the book down.
