Review of ‘Bells Will Be Ringing’ by Barbara Winkes

Dana Clover’s life just went to pot – and she needs to get away from it all. Escaping to her holiday home in Chestnut Hill, she meets the beautiful local doctor, Holly McEwan, and begins to think life may not be that bad after all. With a home in need of TLC, she finds that folks in the small town are there to boost her spirits and make this Christmas one to look forward to after all.

I enjoyed the cosy, homely feel of the story, of the town and of the relationship as the women got to know each other. It was exactly what I wanted from a Christmas story . Dana was a principled woman who needed to heal after recent problems in her life. I liked how she brought out something in Holly that had been missing for a long time. Holly was kind and caring but still scared and unsure of the future. But together they made everything just right. It was a sweet and romantic story with the most enchanting setting. I finished this story in one sitting, as I was enjoying it so much I didn’t want to stop reading. Just the ticket to get you in the festive mood.

I was given this ARC for review.
