Mary has been trying to get her boss Jack to notice her for four years, but he can only see the efficient PA she is at work. Will being holed up with him finally give her the chance she has been waiting for?
Bridge and Luke were meeting for five minutes to set their divorce in motion. But will getting trapped with each other reignite too many fond memories – and love?
Charlie and Robin were on their way to a luxury hotel in Scotland for a very special Christmas. But will the inn give them everything they were hoping to find – and much more besides?
The one thing that has really helped we through this crazy
year of madness especially now the colder and darker nights are drawing in is
this year’s festive releases and believe me I think this is my favourite year
of festive novel releases since I have started reviewing. One author we can
always rely on when it comes to a jolly good festive novel that will bring a
bag laughs with it is none other than Milly Johnson and her new release, I Wish
it Could be Christmas Every Day is a fabulous festive delight.
As a freak snow storm reaps havoc to many travellers plans
this Christmas an eclectic mix of characters are brought together as they seek
shelter and land upon Figgy Hollow. With no hope of being on their way for
Christmas the group waste no time in getting to know each other and get stuck
into preparing for Christmas celebrations in the sleepy little Inn.
I have to admit I was a little nervous when starting this
novel because having so many main characters is something that I sometimes
struggle with in novels but I was relieved that there were no blurred lines
between the characters they were all developed really well and I never got
muddled up with who was who and I loved each and everyone of them. All 6
characters had completely different personality traits and they all have their
stories to tell from matters of the heart to troubled upbringings and health matters.
There was something about Charlie that reminded me of Christopher Biggins with
his uplifting, flamboyant and bright nature, he was a very wise man who had a
heart of pure gold. His partner Robin balanced his character out and his love
for Charlie was easy to see through his caring ways. Mary was a gentle
character who I was desperate for her to have her love reciprocated and see her
come alive. Bridget was a complex character who really touched my heart. She is
a strong, confident, fiery and successful woman on the outside but when we
delve deeper, we see why she is the way she is and that her determination is a
result of her childhood. Luke is a successful entrepreneur thanks to his ex but
as his life moves forward it is time to try and let go of his past. Jack was a
character who I wanted to shake the most, he was so blinded to what was waving
under his nose!
This is definitely one of those books that will take you on
an emotional journey as we begin to create bonds with our characters and we
will have our hearts warmed with the little Christmas celebrations they create from
getting merry on traditional tipples and filling their bellies with mince pies
and chocolate, we laugh with the characters but around the corner we also will
have our hearts broken so keep those tissues to hand.
Milly Johnson always weaves a hint of magic into her novels
and this was certainly the case with this novel. As I was curled up on the sofa
reading the last few pages of this novel I didn’t want it to come to an end, I
still feel like we have so much to see with these characters so I do hope that
Milly will revisit them in future novels. I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every
Day should be in every bookworm’s stocking this Christmas.
