Love, Christmas
Twelve festive stories.

A collection of twelve heart-warming love stories perfect for snuggling down with during the season of magic and mistletoe.

Brilliant, cosy short stories which really put me in a festive mood!

Imogen Green’s Little Shop of Possibilities
A novella.
Imogen Green runs a shop in London. But it’s not just any shop. It’s been in her family for generations. Behind the faΓ§ade of gifts and trinkets for all occasions, there is a room where she concocts potions and lotions to make all kinds of wishes come true. As long as the wishes are ethical, that is. Her only problem is Detective Miller…

This witchy closed door romance novella was super cute! I liked the contrast of modern day and witchy traditions. A perfect autumn read.

Daisy Roberts is Dead
A story of love, friendship and hope.

What would it be like to die young, only to have to spend the next fifty years watching your loved ones move on without you?

Beautifully written, I was completely hooked and compelled to read on to uncover the mystery shrouding her death...It was heartwarming and emotional...dealing with complex themes in a thought provoking way. I thoroughly recommend this book for anyone wanting a beautiful story of love and loss that will make you stop and think. Clever and compelling.

The Strange Imagination of Pippa Clayton
A heart-warming and original love story.

Pippa Clayton is a grown woman with an imaginary friend. She also hears a soundtrack to her life. Clumsy but caring, Pippa works as a Receptionist for an advertising agency where she has a huge crush on the new Creative Director, Tom Arnold. But when potential client Max Wild spots her hidden talent and asks her out on a date, can Pippa be brave enough to leave the comforting world she has created for herself since an unexplained tragedy in her past, and learn to face up to stark reality?

A truly unique and swoonworthy romance story with an imaginary friend who produced many snort-out-loud moments. I like how the story progresses and the main character’s journey towards inner healing is slowly revealed. If you liked Bridget Jones or Ally McBeal (for those of us of a certain age) there is a lot to like about the brave and quirky female protagonist in this story!
