Christmas at Lobster Bay by Annie robertson

I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley and Welbeck Publishing and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

When Emma and Aidan decide to expand The Guesthouse at Lobster Bay by merging their two homes, Emma feels certain it's the project she needs to develop her flourishing retreat, and to keep her and Aidan together.

Emma has three months to complete the project before her guests arrive for a sumptuous Christmas in Lobster Bay, but as soon as the work begins, Emma's dream of expansion begins to fall apart...

Unforeseen structural problems, the arrival of a long-term guest, and an errant puppy, who is determined to chew her way through every piece of pipe and furniture, push Emma and Aidan to their limit, and it's not long before cracks begin to show in their relationship.

I have been waiting for this book since I read The Guesthouse at Lobster Bay as I knew that it was going to be a lovely series. This definitely lived up to my expectations - so much so that I read over 50% in one sitting as I couldn't pull myself away. Whilst part of a series, I feel that it would be very easy to read this book as a standalone.

There are moments of drama, and it there are moments where your emotions will be played with. Overall, this is an action packed book that is an addictive read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and hope that it is not the last that we have seen of Lobster Bay.

Rating: 4/5
