Review: The Christmas Cottage (Love at Langley Park Book 2) by Jane Porter


 

She’s ready for a charming Christmas in the English countryside…

It’s almost Christmas and Ella Roberts is ecstatic to be heading to Bakewell to spend the holidays with her sister and brother-in-law, the new Earl and Countess Sherbourne, and represent her family at the English wedding reception. Ella is looking forward to visiting the Sherbourne estate, exploring Bakewell, and experiencing a proper English Christmas. She just has two requests—that she stays in one of the historic cottages at Langley Park, and that the annoying best man not be invited to the reception.

Baird MacLauren was happy to serve as the best man to his closest friend from Trinity College’s wedding. The long weekend spent in the San Juan Islands celebrating his best friend was easy, but getting along with the bride’s mischievous sister who takes nothing seriously was an unexpected challenge. Baird thought he’d never have to see her again…until he spots Ella in Bakewell preparing for the reception.

To Ella’s dismay, her second request isn’t honored and now she’ll be spending Christmas with the most arrogant—and handsome—of Scottish men. Can they both keep their distance or will the magic of the season bring these two together?
 
My Review:
This book was everything I wanted and more.

I was so happy to return to Langley Park and meet Ella and Baird, who first met at Ella’s sister’s wedding.  Ella and Baird shared the most amazing kiss and Ella still remembered it like it was yesterday.   Now that they are together again, will the spark still be there? 

I enjoyed everything about this book and found it hard to put down.  It is a perfect holiday read.  The story takes place in the beautiful English countryside at Christmas time.  The love between Ella and Baird was strong, even though there was some tension between them at first.  As they got to know each other better and worked through their differences, I couldn’t wait for them to get their happy ending.  I also enjoyed catching up with Cara and Alec from Once Upon a Christmas.  I highly recommend this unforgettable book.
