Calling You Home

by Daniela Sacerdoti

Can a frozen heart be brought back to life?

Viola's heart was torn apart once and she has never quite recovered. The love of her life was out of reach, so she walked away and never looked back. Now, visiting the beautiful, snowy village of Glen Avich for Christmas, Viola is shocked to find him here, staying only metres away. Can she risk heartbreak again?

Inary Monteith's life is at a turning point - a surprise baby has come to upset her plans and open the door to a whole new world. But as her bump grows, fear trumps over love and Inary feels completely inadequate to her new role. As she and her cousins, Eilidh and Viola, gather for Christmas lunch, no one could expect what lies ahead, least of all the arrival of a mysterious visitor who delivers a gift for them all...

My first time reading this author - and it really didn't do it for me. I didn't really like any of the characters - and found it hard to empathise with them. And perhaps because I hadn't read any of the other books sent in Glen Avich, I didn't really get a sense of the setting or the community. Hey ho.

I've rated it as 2 because it exasperated the monkeys out of me but t's not badly written or actively terrible in that way - so it doesn't deserve a total pan.

As part of Daniela Sacerdoti's Glen Avich series, Calling You Home is short, sweet and Christmasy, a romantic novella that's easy to enjoy in one sitting. It includes all the essential ingredients for a heart-warming festive read - snowy mountains, a brooding hero, a baby that's in a rush to be born - with a touch of celtic mystery thrown in too. It's currently free on Amazon kindle, so recommend for anyone interested in reading more of Sacerdoti's popular Glen Avich series.

On my way to read every Daniela's book, I keep thinking after the end of each one, 'okay, no, this one is my favorite,' then I go on and read another one and you know the rest...She's definitely one of my favorite authors. Her way of writing gripping you tight at your heart and touching your soul with each words she writes...So gifted.

This is a little short book from the Glen Avich series. It was a little bit too short to get immersed into but still had the mysterious feel to it - a mysterious stranger turns up to help inary deliver her baby but no one knows who she is. I enjoyed it but not as much as her others I've read so far

[Paula Janssen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a novella and gives you an insight to one of the characters from Glen Avich. I loved it as it transported me back to the Highlands of Scotland although for me it was just not long enough. Easy to read.

[Suzanne · Rating 4 out of 5]

With a Novella you know that you can usually guess the end within the first couple of pages .. here I didn't mind that. The characters were quickly defined and there was enough back story for each to develop them further. Good little read to introduce me to this Author - will happily try a tree book in this Series.

True love

A beautiful short story of true love, loss and family. The stories of Glen Avich really connect with the reader, you really feel like you're there in the village and the characters are wonderful.

Started with promise

Started with much promise. But then it reels like the writer has lost interest in her own story and rushes too quickly to a conclusion

[Abbie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lovely little read

I wouldn't say it's very exciting and is quite predictable but is a good read if you like a classic romantic

Lovely Scottish Christmas

Well written and I liked the way Daniela brought the family separately into each chapter. A different love story. A lovely read.

[Eileen Vernor · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great read!

The author has an uncanny way of weaving past and present, with relatives of this small Scottish Highland village. Who says it’s ever too late for love?

[Books 'n' All Promotions · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Glen Avich series is unique and I have loved every one This is a novella based at Christmas and is a love story with a twist that warms your heart.

Although all these books are stand alone they all feature characters we met in previous books

Having read all the books I feel I am now part of the Glen Avich family and eagerly await future books.
