Sleigh bells are about to ring in the Scottish Highlands as the snow falls, the carriages come out, and a festive feel is in the air! Donna Ashcroft writes heartwarming, charming, and moving romances set in beautiful settings. I’m always excited when I see she has a new book coming out as her writing leaves me with a smile on my face and joy in my heart.
Ella, a talented artist, has a lot on her plate after the death of her father. She is running her stepmother’s cleaning business while getting ready to slip on glass slippers in the annual Cinderella pantomime. Her brothers should be helping, but they become mysteriously ill when asked to help. She is overwhelmed, over worked and could use some help!
Alex is a businessman who is also a talented artist who is in town and finds himself playing Prince Charming to Ella’s Cinderella. He has a lot on his plate, juggling his father’s demands with his own dreams.
When an onstage kiss becomes a little heated….
A Christmas Romance in the Scottish Highlands: A completely addictive Christmas romance set in Scotland is a charming and magical read which channels Cinderella in more ways than one. I loved the setting in the Scottish Highlands. I could feel the chill in the air and the town prepares for the holiday festivities. I also enjoyed both Ella and Alex. Both are artists who are working in different fields. They both have dreams, goals and obstacles in their way. Both are likeable and I rooted for them the entire way. Romance books are all about the journey for me and I loved the journey that Ella and Alex went on both individually and together.
Wonderfully written, well thought out, moving, charming, heartwarming and festive. I loved the Cinderella references, the snowy setting, the drama, and the vivid descriptions.
