Penny Meadows loves her cute little cottage in White Cliff Bay. She loves her job as an ice sculptor as well, but her life is a lonely one. She decides to rent out the annex of her cottage and is looking forward to meeting the new couple who will be living there, Henry and Daisy. Henry arrives alone and explains that Daisy is staying with relatives for a few days. Penny can not believe how openly Henry is flirting with her! He is a married man after all.

She is visibly upset by all of his shenanigans but is mortified when she finally meets Daisy and realizes Daisy is Henry's daughter not his wife. But that only happens after she calls Henry a pervert thinking that he married a child! Trust me, the laughs only get bigger from there. CHRISTMAS AT LILAC COTTAGE will have you laughing out loud, so much so that you will be holding your sides before you know it!

Penny has been hurt in the past and isn't looking for another broken heart. Henry is what you would call a player, never committing to anyone, and not looking to change his ways. But there is something about Penny, and he can't stop thinking about her. He wants to give her the happiness she deserves and feels the need to protect her. CHRISTMAS AT LILAC COTTAGE is a heart warming story filled with beautiful moments that will have you cheering for Henry and Penny while holding your breath, waiting to see what happens next.

Holly Martin is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. She has a way of warming you up inside and will have you falling in love with all the characters from the very beginning of CHRISTMAS AT LILAC COTTAGE. You can't help but care for Penny. She is damaged where love is concerned, and very fragile, but she goes out of her way to help those she cares about. Henry is my new book boyfriend who I thought was an uptight snob in the beginning but the way he protects Penny and looks out for her had me swooning in no time at all. I devoured Henry and Penny's story and can't wait to continue the White Cliff Bay series with the next book, SNOWFLAKES ON SILVER COVE. I can't wait to read more by this wonderful and funny author.
