As the festive season approaches in the quaint village of Lily Vale, all is joyfully arranged for Holly Potter. She runs the charming Cosy Little Tearoom, surrounded by a delightful circle of friends, and although romance is a luxury she cannot afford, her life is meticulously ordered to her liking. However, her well-structured existence is soon disrupted when her scatterbrained sister Emma, their father, and a playful puppy named Puddles unexpectedly arrive at her doorstep in the dead of night, seeking shelter. As Holly uncovers the underlying reasons for their visit, she begins to suspect that her seemingly perfect life may be more precarious than she believed. An unforeseen incident sends her rushing Puddles to the local veterinarian, where she encounters the charmingly sarcastic George, a self-professed Scrooge. Amidst the holiday chaos and familial discord, can Holly discover the true meaning of happiness this Christmas? And when Emma's blunder threatens their bond, will Holly find it within her to forgive? Join in this heartwarming and humorous holiday narrative filled with love, family dynamics, and a sprinkle of puppy affection!
Some lines from this book –
Knowing how you like things done does not make you a control freak. It makes you a good manager.
When you love your job, you never work a day in your life.
One little downfall isn't going to stop me following my dreams.
That's one of the things I love most about my little sister, her perpetual optimism. The world could be crashing down around her, and she'd only notice the little flower sprouting amongst the wreckage. She's the only person in the world I know who would skip downstairs happily wishing a good morning to you after receiving what must have been such crushing news. I realise then just how strong my sister is.
It's a bummer, for sure, but this is the career path I chose to work towards. It's hard, but you kind of have to grow a thick skin and learn to take the criticism constructively. There's going to be rejections, this isn't the first and it certainly won't be the last.
We're all moving on to bigger and better things come the new year, and I couldn't be prouder of each one of us. To new beginnings!

This book is based around Holly who runs the tea rooms in the Village, they've been in her family since her Mum and Dad opened them. Her Dad and Sister, Emma, moved away after her Mum died some years earlier and Holly stayed to keep the tea rooms open.
When her Dad and Sister appear at her door late one night, she knows something is wrong, what she doesn't know is how wrong they are. They also bring a new member of the family a puppy called Puddles.
Puddles gets into trouble and Holly meets the Vet, and she keeps bumping into him in unusual places.
A lovely short story, easily read in a couple of hours which has characters from previous books in it. Each book is a standalone story but the books are best read in order of publication to preserve continuity of the characters and series.

What a fantastic series this is. This is the third book and I loved it.
Holly who runs the Lily Vale tea room tells her story in this one. She has a huge surprise when her sister and dad come to stay unannounced with Puddles the dog. The characters are all so real. I loved every page. Now moving onto book four!

Mistletoe and Wine in Lili Vale. ullage: A Merry, Heart-swarming and festive Christmas tale about family, love and starting again.
What a title!! It actually tells it all a synopsis would say. You have to read it to actually enjoy it like I did. It was one that left you guessing until the end.
