Reviews for A Yorkshire Christmas

My copy included the bonus story, Falling for Christmas. Both stories were too saccharin-coated for my reading tastes. I also found it a bit annoying that both stories used the same themes of girl from rich family/ lifestyle meets rugged farm guy and sparks fly. Cute, but not my cup of tea.

Claire just wants to leave her life in the US behind during the holidays, and so ends up at her godmother’s cottage in England. When her car slides off the road in a snowstorm, she meets her next door neighbor, a sheep farmer who needs help rescuing one of his sheep, and the thus begins their relationship. Claire comes to Noah’s rescue by helping him prepare for his daughter’s unexpected visit over Christmas. She thinks they are even now, but Molly takes a shine to Claire, and so their time together continues. This heartwarming story is a delightful one. The characters may have flaws that they are working to overcome, but they are likable and believable, and readers will be hoping they will get their HEA, in spite of the fact that they come from two different countries and two different lifestyles. It’s a lovely story for anytime, but especially for Christmastime.

This is a sweet Christmas story, in all ways. Three people- 2 adults and a kid- alienated and left adrift over the holidays find each other and make a family- at first just temporarily, but it ends up being for good. OK, unrealistic, but Hewitt really pulled it off, and I can believe that happily-ever-after here.In contrast to the Christmas romance I read before this, it is not all about the "chemistry", and that's a relief- none of that "I love you! I hate you!" tail-spinning. Also no explicit sex, which was fine- it didn't need it, nor did it need the overblown fireworks.Recommended if you like a seasonal romance that is not rife with DRAMA!!!!! but decent people finding each other.

This is a light Christmas story that can be read in under an hour. I wanted to be transported to Yorkshire and Kate Hewitt came through with this romantic story. The stars are Claire Lindell and Noah Bradford. She’s a New York City girl wanting to escape a bad love life and a disaster of a life situation. She heads to Ledstow England to spend Christmas alone at her godmother’s cottage.While driving in a blinding snowstorm she skids off the road and becomes stuck in a snow bank. Now she has to walk to the cottage and she is not wearing appropriate clothing. Skinny jeans and fashion heeled boots. Not the stuff you need in Yorkshire.During this bitterly cold walk she overhears Noah Bradford talking to one of his sheep. The sheep is stuck in mud and it’s about to freeze to death. She asks if she can help. Of course she does, and you know what will happen next. She ends up at his cottage and is offered dry clothing. Once Noah has divested himself of his wet coat and hat Claire realizes he is smokin’ hot! Tall, gorgeous eyes and a ripped boy. All guys are like this in romances, right?Claire is a needy girl to be sure. Have you ever watched How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days? Remember the character Michelle who tells a guy she loves him in the first date and calls about 15 times in a day? No, Claire doesn’t do those things but her character is needy like Michelle. Insecure.Noah is not in a relationship and closes himself off from the world. Claire is trying to do the same but they hit it off and fall in love. In 2 days. And plan a life together.If you want a quick read with the Christmas theme and a setting in England them this book and setting is perfect for you.

Really enjoyed this one. This is set in the Yorkshire country side and the author's descriptive writing style made me feel like I was there. It's a perfect story of finding love when you least expect it and enjoying the simple things in life to the fullest. Great holiday read I highly recommend.

Although Claire Lindell (city girl) was well off , but sad after something had happened and with no happy memories when it came to the Christmas holidays she decides to spend this holiday in England at her Godmother's cottage all by herself. However, after Claire's car breaks down and she meets Noah Bradford who was a sheep farmer who had a daughter named Molly. Will things change for them? This is were this story will take off and this author presents to the reader a awesome emotional well written story where there will be Christmas magic that these three (Claire, Noah and Molly) will end up spending the Christmas holiday together. How did this come about? Will this last after this wonderful holiday? This is where I say you will have to pick up "A Yorkshire Christmas" to see how this author brings it all out to the reader. I will say it was captivating seeing Claire and Noah open up to each other. Wow!I liked the presentation of the characters who were so well developed, real and believable. This is definitely one of those quick reads that has lots of love and imagination that will put a smile on your face in this wonderful Christmas love.
