Short but sweet

Enjoyed both these short stories, very romantic and festive. They both go to prove that Christmas really is a magical time of year

White Christmas: cute Santa & Mrs Claus stand ins. 15 yrs is a waste. Partridge, in a Pear Tree: A cat named Partridge, a pear tree in the new neighbor's yard, ladder in the tree, climbing the tree, rescued by the neighbor and dinner interrupted by his ex. This had some fun moments.

A lovely set of two christmas stories from Emily Harvale. Although the stories are short they are written well with good characters you can warm to and have a lovely Christmassy feel to them.

Two short stories by Emily that put you into the Christmas mood. Emily's books are always fun and lighthearted and these two stories are no different.

Sometimes I like reading short stories in between of full story, which is why I chose this one, which has two wonderfully romantic and uplifting short stories for Christmas.

They were both very short, about 30 pages each, they were both very lovely reads although I preferred the second story ‘Partridge... In a Pear Tree’ to the first one, it gelled with me more, was more believable plus it had a cat in the story, I love pets in stories.

Anyway if your after a quick short read, then you should definitely give this a go, plus Emily Harvale is a great author who knows how to write lovely entertaining stories. Her full lengthy books are just wonderful, well the majority that I’ve read so far that is.
