I am absolutely delighted to share my review today for A Christmas Wedding at the Castle by Eliza J Scott. This is part of the Life on the Moors series and yes you could read it as stand-alone, but obviously it works better if the series is read in order.

My huge thanks as always to Rachel at Rachel’s Random Resources for my spot on the Blog Tour and for arranging my e-copy of this gorgeous book.

Let me show you more…

Synopsis…

Do you believe in fate? Livvie Weatherill does…

This time last year, if anyone had told Livvie Weatherill she’d have fallen in love and would be making plans for her Christmas wedding to Zander Gillespie, she would have laughed in their face. If they’d gone on to say they’d be planning to have their wedding at the imposing Danskelfe Castle, she’d have laughed even louder!

But it would seem fate had plans for her…

Since moving to the pretty moorland village of Lytell Stangdale Livvie is happier than she’s ever been. She’s living with Zander and she’s working at her dream job as a wedding dress designer at Romantique with her friends, Kitty and Violet. It’s fair to say, she’s enjoying immersing herself in village life, from romantic walks in the countryside, to meeting friends at the quaint Sunne Inne. And she can’t think of anything better than rounding off the day cosying up with Zander.

Life is sweet.

Her blossoming friendship with Freda Easton, the endearing but reclusive elderly lady who lives down the lane, has taken everyone by surprise. But Freda has a secret and, in a turn of events no one could predict, she finds herself grateful for Livvie’s fierce loyalty, cementing their friendship further.

Just when things seem to be running smoothly, a face from the past arrives on the doorstep casting a shadow over Livvie’s wedding plans. Adding to the drama, an icy blast of Arctic air brings heavy snowfall to the village, covering the moors in a thick blanket of snow.

Is their love strong enough to withstand the challenges thrown at them? Will they get their magical Christmas wedding?

Join Livvie and Zander – and all the usual characters – for a sparkling Christmas full of love and laughter in Lytell Stangdale.

My Review…

Oh my goodness what a fabulous festive fiction read this was and also brilliant to be back in Lytell Stangdale. The author focuses on Livvie and Zander, but don’t worry the rest of the gang are still here. I mean a hen do without the girls just wouldn’t be right!

I love these stories from life around Lytell Stangdale. I always feel like I am sitting down to catch up with the locals and the stories. Not only do I get to find out about Livvie and Zanders wedding, I also get to discover some secrets as well. Why exactly does Freda keep to herself for example and what is the full story.

This is a gorgeously written story that has once again transported me to the Yorkshire moors and the village community of this series. Yes you can read these as stand aliens but you would be missing out I some wonderful tales and relationships.

One thing I do find is that the dynamics between the characters of a so realistic. As I read the conversations I can also visualise the characters sat there with the obligatory cup of tea or glass of Prosecco . Chatting and laughing as good friends but very much there when needed.

This is another wonderful read and the author has left some tantalising steps for future stories. This is heartwarming, humorous and just a gorgeous read that I would definitely recommend.
