Christmas in the Cotswolds
Christmas in the Cotswolds: a feel-good festive romance to warm your heart | Jenny Kane
3 posts | 2 read
A heart-warming Christmas romance, perfect for fans of Cressida McLaughlin and Holly Martin. Curl up with this delightfully festive short story this Christmas. Izzie Spencer-Harris, owner of the Cotswold Art and Craft Centre, is due to host the prestigious Cotswold Choir's annual Christmas carol concert in her beautiful converted church. Or at least she was, until a storm smashed a hole right through the chancel roof! Days from Christmas, Izzie suddenly finds herself up to her neck in DIY, with her last dodgy workman having walked off the job. She does the only thing she can... calls in her best friend Megan to help. Leaving Peggy and Scott to run Pickwicks Caf in her absence, Megan heads to the Cotswolds for Christmas. Within minutes of her arrival, she finds herself hunting down anyone willing to take on extra work so close to Christmas. It seems the only person available to help is Joseph Parker - a carpenter who, while admittedly gorgeous, seems to have ulterior motives for everything he does... With Izzie's bossy mother, Lady Spencer-Harris, causing her problems at every turn, an accident at work causing yet more delays, and the date for the concert drawing ever nearer, it's going to take a lot more than Mrs Vickers' powerful mulled wine to make sure everything is all right on the night... Readers love Jenny Kane: 'This is a delightful short story with that lovely Christmas feel good feeling' 'An easy festive read that will make you smile' 'Very festive short story with lovely characters. . . Cosy, ideal reading for Christmas time' 'Perfect for the Christmas season. Heartwarming, emotional and so true for today's hectic, manic life. One to have, keep, and enjoy!!'

This is a cute holiday tale. I'm not a short story fan but needed a quick read to meet my 2022 GoodReads challenge! It could have used a copy editor...lots of errors... but it didn't distract from the story.

Grabbed the 📸 from a travel site.

1. Not yet.... anyone know any good books set in Gloucester?

2. The northern end of the Cotswolds - so less than 20 miles from where I actually woke up 😂

3. I‘ll have to say the Bennetts because I can‘t think of any other fictional family!

Set in the Oxfordshire end of the Cotswolds (rather than the central Gloucestershire bit where I am), this is another pleasant, easy, short Christmas story - can Izzie sort out the problems at her recently opened Arts Centre before the Carol concert‘s due to take place?
