Today I am excited to share with you my review of this heartwarming and festive treat from Sandy Barker. 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
Christmas is coming and best friends Chloe, Jules, and Lucy are needing change… so swapping homes for the holidays could be the perfect present for all of them!
Australian Chloe spends her Christmas in a sleepy village in Oxfordshire, England. She is totally star-struck when she discovers who lives across the road.
Lucy, who has jetted off to snowy Colorado for her dream-come-true white Christmas, is taken into the fold of Jules’s loud and brash family, discovering more about herself in a few short days than she has in years.
And Jules leaves the cold climes of Colorado to spend her Christmas on a beach with Chloe’s friends in Melbourne, finding that time away is just what she needed.
The only thing better than one Christmas romance is three, and this wonderful festive novel is perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Holly Martin and Karen Swan.
My Review
This is such a wonderful and romantic Christmas read that I simply adored from beginning to end and did not want to put down.
Three friends Jules, Chloe and Lucy all met on holiday as children and have stayed friends ever since. Even thought the three of them all live around the world they all remain close and are regularly in contact with each other.
It is during one of their regular catch ups they they all discuss Christmas and the plans they are making.
None of the girls seem to be too excited about their plans until they all come up with an idea. They could swap their Christmas breaks and have the Christmas that they all would love and to make a change.
So Lucy Swaps her Oxfordshire Christmas with her family and heads to Colorado for Christmas with Jules' extended family to have the white Christmas she has always dreamed of.
Jules is heading to Melbourne for the city and beach holiday she has been wanting for long time.
And finally Chloe is swapping warm and sunny Melbourne and is heading to the village in Oxfordshire that Lucy grew up in and is even sleeping Chloe's pink childhood bedroom.
The girls are excited to spend their festive season in a completely different way. They have all been welcomed by the families they are staying with and are soon throwing themselves into making the most of the adventures ahead of them.
The girls are all enjoying their christmases and with a hint of Romance in the air for all three of them this decision they all made could have been the best one yet.
This is such a feel good and romantic read that is the perfect addition to your Christmas reading.
I am a big fan of Sandy Barker and I feel this is great addition to her fiction list.
The writing style of this book flows well. The story does move between al of the girls and I enjoyed getting to experience three different types of Christmas each with its own romance.
I enjoyed getting to know all of the girls and its great to read just how strong their friendship is.
I also loved reading about all of the different festive traditions the each family have along with all of the delicious sounding food.
There are also three incredible handsome sounding Men within the book who all manage to spark interest and romance with the girls too.
This book is full of Christmas detail which really got me looking forward to the festive season.
This book is the perfect accompaniment to a mug of hot chocolate and a blanket for a cosy afternoon.
