Review: Christmas at Embthwaite Farm (The Mowbray Sisters Book 2) by Kate Hewitt


Welcome to Embthwaite Farm, a charming English home in North Yorkshire, belonging to the fractured Mowbray family

With older sister Rachel home to help run the family farm and navigate their father’s terminal illness, Harriet Mowbray feels untethered, yet surprisingly free. She wants to embrace her future but continually trips over the insecurities and hurts from her fraught family relationships. When a mysterious millionaire purchases a derelict manor home to renovate into a hotel set to open before Christmas, Harriet pushes herself out of her comfort zone and approaches the owner to become a client for her fledging bakery business.

Former gaming entrepreneur Quinn Tyler has sunk everything into this new venture, and Harriet finds him utterly unexpected. Confident, impulsive and fun, he sweeps Harriet off her feet and their friendship blossoms to Harriet’s surprise and delight. As they work together on the hotel’s finishing touches, Harriet and Quinn battle their insecurities and demons and make surprising revelations as they build their fledgling relationship.

As Christmas looms, will they have the strength of conviction to fight for the hotel—and their newfound love?

 

My Review:

A heartfelt romance/family drama.

This book is a sweet romance between Harriet, a small-town girl, and Quinn, the new man in town who is turning an old manor house into a hotel.  Both characters seemed to lack a bit of self esteem because of how they were raised, but together, they brought out the best in each other and are able to overcome what was holding them back.  I also liked the family drama in the book.  The book is well written with interesting characters and a great story line.  I couldn’t wait to see how this book played out in the end.  I am already anxiously waiting for the next book.
