Book Synopsis:
Hannah Swan is looking forward to Christmas for the first time in years. Her new job as an eco-consultant is taking her – and her geeky colleague, Noah – to the beautiful Cornish village of Porthgolow for the first time.
They’re are helping the Crystal Waters Hotel to ramp up its green credentials, though after a bumpy journey, Hannah can’t shake off the feeling that Porthgolow is strangely familiar. Never able to resist a mystery, her interest is piqued when the hotel’s staff and customers report odd noises and sightings, believing the hotel to be haunted.
When bad weather cuts off Porthgolow, Hannah and Noah are looking at a Cornish Christmas. It gives them plenty of time to work out what is really going on, but will their yuletide escape send shivers up their spines? Or will it be as warm and toasty as a glass of mulled wine?
The Cornish Cream Tea Christmas is available in ebook and paperback now. You can purchase your copy using the link below or through your local indie bookstore.
My Review:
The Cornish Cream Tea Christmas is a lovely, warm read which is perfect to read on the run up to Christmas.
I absolutely adored being back in Porthgolow and the wonderful tea bus. Throughout this wonderful series I feel like I have really gotten to know the characters so I loved being able to catch up with them and find out what they’ve been getting up to. In this book all of the old gang are back but there are also some wonderful new characters to get to know too. I enjoyed learning more about Hannah and it was very interesting to find out more about her past.
There was a lovely festive feel throughout the book which was lovely to read about. I liked that it wasn’t overdone to make the story too sweet. It seemed natural and made me feel all warm inside whilst I read. The community of Porthgolow seemed so lovely and it made me wish that I was a part of it as it’s such a loving place
Overall I really enjoyed this book and managed to read it in a couple of days, despite me promising myself I was going to ration it. The ending was beautiful and I now can’t wait to see how things pan out in the next book.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Harper Collins for my copy of this book. If you are looking for a heart warming, festive read to curl up with then I definitely recommend this one!
About The Author:
Cressy was born in South East London surrounded by books and with a cat named after Lawrence of Arabia. She studied English at the University of East Anglia and now lives in Norwich with her husband David.
Cressy’s favourite things include terrifying ghost stories, lava lamps and romantic heroes, though not necessarily at the same time. She doesn’t (yet) have a dog of her own, but feeds her love vicariously through friends’ pets, and was once chased around a field by a soaking wet, very mischievous Border Collie called Wags.
When she isn’t writing, Cressy spends her spare time reading, returning to London or exploring the beautiful Norfolk coastline.
