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
A book can be compared to a secret gift. You get a box but you have not the slightest idea what is hidden inside. Opening the book is like opening the box. You can take a peek and slowly start unpacking all the goodies.
What did I find in this parcel?
- Snow, because it’s a story that takes place in the festive season to create a winter wonderland.
- Love, old and new. Old between friends, between family members. New because two people are finding their way to each other’s heart
- Suspense, because there are some fishy characters in town
- Laughter, because there are a lot of little hilarious jokes
- A happy ending, at least for those who deserved it. Others were less lucky
The author is a born storyteller and even though it’s a big book I finished it in no time. That’s what a good book does to you. It does not leave you alone and keeps on screaming ‘Pick me up and read on’. Me, being a good girl, I listen to its pleads of course ;).
To make a long story short : I really enjoyed it. 5 stars
