Christmas at Mistletoe Cove (Hope Island #3) by Holly Martin









From Goodreads

Growing up on Hope Island, Eden Lancaster always believed that if you wished hard enough for something, dreams really could come true. But Eden’s greatest wish is also her biggest secret: she has been completely in love with her childhood friend, the charming and attractive Dougie Harrison, for as long as she can remember. And he has no idea.

When Dougie leaves his successful life in New York to return home to Hope Island for good, Eden can’t escape her feelings. Her heart is full of hope that her romantic dreams are finally, at long last, going to come true…

This Christmas could change everything. But can a lifelong friendship really turn into the perfect romance? And will Eden get the happily ever after she’s always wished for?

My thoughts

My thanks to the Publishers via NetGalley for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review.  I am just so sorry that it languished on my TBR pile for as long as it did before I got round to reading it.

I gave this charming festive story an 8/10.  It's the first of the Hope Island series that I have read and I look forward to reading some more soon.

Telling the story of Eden and her childhood friend Dougie, this is a lovely story that draws the reader in.  Can friends become more than friends, especially when one of those friends doesn't realise that his childhood friend would like there To be much more between them?  

For the reader to find this out, they need to grab a copy and let the story wrap them up in it's cosiness, the same way that it wrapped me up.  Sometimes we just need to take a step back from real life and let the world of romance and all it's twists and turns take us on a journey.  

Holly Martin is great at writing romances and this is a great romance  in my opinion..
