On Christmas Hill
It's a few weeks before Christmas, and everyone except Catherine seems to be gearing up for the big day with excitement.
Catherine, a single mum, is struggling to bring up her five-year-old daughter. She has little time for romance, and when she learns she has lost her job and her flat is deemed inhabitable, she wonders just what else life is about to fling at her.
Where or to whom can she turn for help? Kismet in the shape of handsome bachelor Jack Darcy aka Father Christmas is at hand. But can she trust the handsome stranger who seems to know a lot about her private life?
When Catherine finds a forty year old letter hidden in a village post office and seeks to reunite the letter with the addressee, little does she know what part she will play in the affair or how circumstances change her very existence. Will she find that perfect love which so far has eluded her?

Ninth book of my holiday reads.
I have to admit it was slightly strange reading a book set in winter time whilst on holiday in August in hot weather. To be honest though as the book is so charming and heart warming, it is lovely to read any time of the year.
Little Charlotte, Catherine's daughter, definitely steals the limelight in this story. She is just adorable and really melted my heart.
This is a lovely story that has me fall in love with the characters. It is a relatively quick read of which I read in one sitting as I was so engrossed in the story. Loved it.

This is a seasonal…as you can guess!…romance by Faith.
One of the ingredients for a romance is usually a stubborn female protagonist who refuses to succumb to Mr Tall Dark and Handsome’s advances. And it’s always fun to see how long Miss I Will Resist You For As Long Possible will actually refuse to let down her defences and how the drop-dead gorgeous male protagonist eventually wins. And this story doesn’t disappoint one little bit. It’s a warm and cheering Christmas story.
Catherine Merryweather has been hurt twice by ‘unsuitable’ men. A single mother, with a five-year-old daughter, she’s fiercely independent and is adamant she won't be taken advantage of again by selfish men. As temporary manager in a small sub-post office in a pretty English village, she uncovers a letter that has lain, unposted, for many years. Little does she know that her endeavours to find the recipient of that letter will lead to love for more than one person…
This is the perfect novel to curl up and read on a cold winter’s evening with a cup of cocoa. The Christmas spirit cloaks the whole story with just enough charm and twinkly appeal. It’s easy to read, flows along at a nice steady pace, and of course, Faith’s clean, fresh, and uncluttered style make this a cosy little romance that will leave you with a smile on your face.

I don't really read romantic types of books . I'm more horror and crime type . But this book was refreshingly wonderful . Beautifully written, not too slushy and lovely short chapters . I will certainly be reading more by Faith ..

Is Christmas Hill a real place? I suspect it is. The English settings and the walk through Christmas traditions shared and to be discovered made this book an almost ideal read. Why only 3 stars? Attraction resembling too near lust is not the path to true love, IMO.
Ms. Morimer's boy-meets-girl story is a lovely bit of holiday romance and reverie. Sometimes it takes kindness to rebuild trust when a woman has been betrayed, and a vision of beauty and family can bring a busy business man back to the heart of the season. Even though undeniably attracted, the secrets they hide will have to be revealed before love finds its way On Christmas Hill.
