Snowflakes and Mistletoe at the Inglenook Inn

by Helen Rolfe

Perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Jessica Redland and Kate Forster. It's the most wonderful time of the year...but is it the time to fall in love? When Darcy returns to Manhattan, she’s put in charge of the Inglenook Inn, a cosy boutique hotel in the heart of Greenwich Village. The Inn needs a boost in bookings if it’s to survive, so Darcy is convinced that hosting Christmas this year is the answer. What she doesn’t expect is to meet a face from the past, which can only spell trouble. Myles left England behind and took a job in New York. It’s a step forwards in his career, and has the added bonus of being nowhere near his family. He’s also hoping to avoid Christmas, the worst time of the year. But when his company puts him up at the Inglenook Inn and he recognises Darcy, it isn’t long before they clash. As the flames on the log fire flicker and the snowflakes swirl above the New York streets, maybe this Christmas could be the one that changes everything... *Please note this is a re-release of Snowflakes and Mistletoe at the Inglenook Inn , previously published by Helen J Rolfe* Praise for Helen Rolfe’s heartwarming

WHAT IT'S ABOUT
It's the most wonderful time of the year...but is it the time to fall in love? When Darcy returns to Manhattan, she’s put in charge of the Inglenook Inn, a cosy boutique hotel in the heart of Greenwich Village. The Inn needs a boost in bookings if it’s to survive, so Darcy is convinced that hosting Christmas this year is the answer. What she doesn’t expect is to meet a face from the past, which can only spell trouble.

Myles left England behind and took a job in New York. It’s a step forwards in his career, and has the added bonus of being nowhere near his family. He’s also hoping to avoid Christmas, the worst time of the year. But when his company puts him up at the Inglenook Inn and he recognises Darcy, it isn’t long before they clash. As the flames on the log fire flicker and the snowflakes swirl above the New York streets, maybe this Christmas could be the one that changes everything...

MY TAKE
There were parts of this story that I really loved. Like the family resolution storyline. As children, we think we understand things and do our best to understand what's happening. It looks very different when we learn (and understand) what was happening.

The romance was sweet between Darcy and Myles. I liked that they were both equally dedicated to their jobs, something that bodes well for any future they have. I found her reason for not being willing to consider a relationship a little weak, but I let it pass.

The thing that bugged me was how everyone was always pushing Darcy to drink when she said she shouldn't. I thought it was especially inappropriate for Myles, considering the issue with his mother. And I thought they were pretty blasé with her at the Christmas party with everyone drinking (some of them to excess) with his mother only a few days back on the wagon.

Where was the editor?

Went on for ever, just misunderstanding after misunderstanding. Finally skimmed through it. First one in series was much better. Not sure I'll try another, even for free!

Wow, just wow!

I love Helen's book, read all of them, and still enjoy every one of them again and again. Just kinda wish I could live as some of the characters from her books, especially Darcey. Oh, how lucky she is. Thank you Helen for another wonderfully romantic novel.

Really slow. So much description given to unimportant things in the scenes.
