Book Review
The Christmas Promise by Lindsay Gibson
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review thanks to Harpeth Road Press.
Blurb
Art buyer Charlotte Moore is given the chance of a lifetime to be head buyer for the esteemed Wallace Gallery's Christmas charity gala. But when she arrives at auction, after the most prominent pieces are all bought up, in a panic, she bids on the final painting—an unsigned sunset landscape she's nearly sure her boss will despise.
To save her job, she finds herself in the beautifully festive New England coastal town of Seabreeze, the setting of the painting. When a nor'easter blows through, she's stuck at the adorable Cove Hill Inn, all decorated for the holiday and brimming with Christmas magic. While it's not an awful place to be snowed in, her ability to work is at a standstill, with the gala looming closer.
And she isn't expecting to meet the innkeeper's soon, ruggedly handsome Aiden Bennett, a distraction she definitely doesn't need. Even the inn's cherry scones and the town's Christmas fair are no match for Aiden's charm.
However, when she uncovers a family secret that could impact everyone, including herself and Aiden, it might shake up more than just the holiday. Under the shimmer of the town twinkle lights and the snow-covered Christmas trees, will Charlotte find the answers she's looking for? Or has she unearthed something else entirely?
My Opinion
This is a stunning debut novel by Lindsay Gibson. When Harpeth Road email me about an upcoming release I have no reason to refuse, so far every book I have read has been stunning and this by no means lets the side down.
This book has it all - adorable characters, festive spirit and is a very satisfying read. I read this in one sitting and I have no doubt that others will easily do the same. There is a lot going on that will gave a great deal of talking points to a book club. A real heart-warming book for the upcoming festive season.
Rating 5/5
