I kindly received an eARC advance copy of this book to read and review though NetGalley.

Emma leaves work one Christmas Eve and on her way home is sadly caught up in a bomb attack. She ends up giving up her job as an interior designer, leaving her long term boyfriend that she realises is not “the one”, and buying a tired guesthouse in the Scottish town of Lobster Bay.

Her decorating skills are pulled into use when she arrives at the guesthouse. She doesn’t realise at the time of sale that the well-priced house comes with a very large dog, or an attractive neighbour who is keen to help Emma fix up the property.

I really enjoyed this book. Not too frivolous, making new friends in town and a little romance
