Lovely Christmas romance that draws you into Penny's world and has you cheering for her all the way! * Angry Grey Cat Reads *
First time in print for this e-book author much loved by bloggers * The Bookseller *
Christmas at Lilac Cottage is the perfect winter read. It's everything you need in a Christmassy book and I suggest you make yourself a big cup of hot chocolate when you start reading it. The story of Penny and Henry is filled with humour, love and emotion. I have thoroughly enjoyed it and was sad to leave them once I finished the book. Holly is incredible at writing stories that read fluent, and this one flowed so easy that I often wondered if I had skipped a line. But it was just due to the fluent prose and well written story * Silk eReads and Writes *

Christmas at the Lilac Cottage is a lovely feel-good read just right for the run up to Christmas - a season which forms the back drop of the story, but doesn't over dominate. Even better, there's a smashing recipe just asking to be baked at the end too. I'm looking forward to reading much more from Holly Martin in the future * Linda's Book Bag *

I truly loved this novel. It is a second - chance romance, it is about overcoming issues, it is about trust and forgetting about the past and looking into the bright future, and I loved how optimistic it is and when I came to the end I really didn't want to part with this lovely Island. Already looking forward to reading the second book in the series, but in the meantime I highly recommend "Christmas Under the Cranberry Sky" to you! * On My Bookshelf *
