Summary:
LOVE LINDISFARNE…Take a Christmas trip to magical Northumberland and find love amongst the stars in this feel-good novel, which will transport you to iconic Holy Island where dreams really can come true!
Dumped at the office Christmas party, Ellie is about to vent her spleen on social media when a photo of a cute little dog advertising a charity catches her eye. Her world suddenly changes dramatically when she is offered a month’s stay in Northumberland to help look after rescue animals.
Ellie isn’t too sure where Northumberland is, but accepts, eager to start a new life away from London. Her destination is Lindisfarne, and her arrival on the small island in the North Sea is terrifying, fearing for her life on the causeway as the tide comes crashing in.
Ellie finds herself living in a hilltop castle, and far from the cats and dogs she expected she would be looking after, she is faced with all kinds of furry and feathery animals - and she doesn’t have a clue about any of them!
Welcomed to island life by the warm-hearted residents, she quickly embraces living in this special place, and from the moment she spots the mesmerising Zen with the gorgeous coffee bean eyes, her plans to stay single and mingle begin to fade fast.
Thanks to a severe storm, Lindisfarne is cut off from the mainland, and the islanders work together to salvage the planned Christmas events. Ellie is kept so busy that she hasn’t much time to think about her future when her time on the island ends.
Will the universe give Ellie its blessing? Will she find her happy ever after on the enchanting island of Lindisfarne? If it’s in the stars, then it’s in the stars…
Review:
Firstly thank you to Rachels Random Resources, Shy Bairns Publishing and Kimberley Adams for having me on this tour and sending me the book.
Standard me I have to start with the cover( to be fair I haven't been a book cover magpie for a while) and it's so damn cute! I love the little illustrations, they just make you smile.
Now I know it seems early to be reading a Christmas book, but it just sounded so good I couldn't help myself and sometimes we need a little bit of Christmas magic no matter the time of year. Oh, poor Ellie, I so wanted to give her a hug in those first few chapters, her ex was a complete A*******! And I don't know how she picked herself up so quickly to go to the fundraiser, I know I wouldn't if it had been me. But I loved how her friends rallied around and supported her through it all, everyone needs a group of friends like those! It was lovely to watch Ellie make her way through the heartache and out the other side of it, and who doesn't love Lindisfarne! It was nice to be able to read about somewhere I know too, While I love stepping into a world an author creates it's sometimes nice to read a place you recognise.
It definitely gives me all the cosy Christmas read vibes, which is exactly how I like my Christmas reads and i can see myself rereading this nearer to the festive season. I'm hoping we get some more books from Kimberley Adams soon!
