A Cozy Candlelit Christmas - Tilly Tennant 5*

Isla has been brought up by her mother, as her father left early on and has now remarried.  After 26 years she receives a letter asking to meet and to find out what her paternal grandmother has left her in her will. She is unsure but curious about his intentions. On arrival Isla meets Sebastian who is kind to her and just wanting a friend. She also meets her step-mother’s cousin who also takes a shine to her and takes her under his wing. Are things as they appear or is her Father just using her to get his own part of the inheritance? This is so much more than a “chick-lit” type read. It has a depth of character only usually found (to me) in more serious novels and genres. Tilly has given each one a persona so well that you feel for them and can’t wait to find out if all ends well. This is a real change from my usual read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is christmassy but could be read at any time of the year as it is only the end part which is seasonal (other than the snow filled resort). A highly recommended read. I voluntarily chose to read this ARC and all opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.
