THE COSY CHRISTMAS TEASHOP (Caroline Roberts)

I think that I actually started reading the first book in this series, but I'm not sure.  It may have been one of those thing where I glanced at the first few pages and then was distracted by something else!

Anyway, this was a great little book to read over the holidays (I read it on my Kindle) or at any other time that you feel the need to escape into a charming.  Ellie Hall and her husband, Joe, live at Claverham Castle, where Ellie has established a teashop and Joe oversees the running of the estate for the bad-tempered Lord Henry, who was also recently revealed to be Joe's father.  Now expanding into wedding planning, Ellie is in great demand by both lovely brides and bridezillas alike, but her secret hope is to become a mother.

During the pre-Christmas season Ellie is inundated, trying to meet the demands of an over-the-top bride planning a reception at the castle, cope with a personal loss, and plan a dream wedding for a couple who have recently seen their own share of tragedy.  These characters are wonderful, hard-working, creative people and you will enjoy getting to know them better.
