The Cornish Cream Tea Christmas by Cressida McLaughlin

4.0

I actually hadn’t realised this was the third in a series, but I’m still glad I picked it up because it was perfectly easy to understand as a standalone, and it’s given me a back catalogue to discover the stories of some of the secondary characters in. This one is about eco consultants Hannah and Daniel, who fall in love whilst staying at the hotel they’re working for in Cornwall, and also the ghosts that may or may not be haunting the hotel and Hannah’s mysterious connection to the village related to her past. The romance was lovely and I really liked them as a couple, and I enjoyed the romantic elements to the past storyline as well, although it was somewhat more tragic than that in the present day. I loved Charlie and Daniel even more though, and I’m definitely planning to pick up their story soon because they were my favourite characters in here and I really want to see how they fell in love too. The Christmas element to the plot was great as well, and overall I really enjoyed this and would definitely recommend it, particularly to fans of Ali McNamara as being in Porthogolow felt similarly lovely to something I’ve read by her set in Cornwall.
