A Scottish Christmas

By: Emma Bennet

Narrated by: Rebecca Norfolk

It’s the most wonderful time of year . . . to fall in love.

Rose Aldridge was not expecting to be working the festive period in a pop-up Christmas shop. She wasn’t expecting to be offered a job by a handsome, brooding Scotsman either!

Alastair Duncan hates Christmas. His wife left him and his daughter on Christmas Eve. Now his family have announced they are coming to stay at his sprawling Scottish estate. He needs help planning the perfect Christmas. When he meets Rose, looking fed-up selling tinsel and baubles, he offers her the job. To his surprise she accepts.

Rose wastes no time Christmas-tree shopping and party planning. Before long the Duncan family estate is a mass of ribbons, presents and twinkling lights — even the family goat, Houdini, gets into the festive spirit!

But the more time Rose spends with the Duncan family, especially Alastair’s 12-year-old daughter, Isla, the more Alastair sees how perfectly she fits in . . . and the ice around his heart begins to thaw.

As Christmas Eve approaches, and Rose is due to return home, it’s time for the Christmas magic to weave its spell . . .

wonderful holiday read

the story is a perfect happy holiday read. the characters are well written and the narrator is fabulous!

Engaging and inspiring

I just discovered this author in the plus category and this is my first purchase of one of her books and I was not disappointed. She's now one of my top five authors and I love her storylines and even more so no erotica but believable romance. I also love the descriptions and the heritage of different countries that she shares with us.
There are other authors that I absolutely love their storylines and just have to fast forward through their erotica, but I honor that style works for them and many of their readers,
but it is little distracting like with my other favorite author Penny Reid and sometimes Susan Wiggs.

Thank you so much for putting some samples in the plus Library for us, hope you have a wonderful holiday season and that you enjoy writing as much as we enjoy reading your novels. ❤️

Sweet, G book
