Book Review: Holly’s First Noel by Faye Robertson

Holly's First Noel by Faye Robertson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Music teacher Holly Jones is in a festive predicament. Her boyfriend just dumped her the week before Christmas, so why is she only depressed he made off with the mince pies? When the charming science teacher next door overhears the dreaded call and suggests she accompany him on his Scottish holiday retreat, she accepts, eager to spend a quiet week rediscovering herself.

Noel Coward‘s wife died on Christmas Eve three years ago. To bury the memories of that day, he spends the holidays getting drunk and watching action movies---which makes him perfect company for a fellow teacher in need of solitude. Except, instead of wallowing in his grief, Noel finds himself comforted by Holly’s presence, fascinated by her mind, and after one innocent kiss, on fire for her touch. As the snow piles up outside, the temperature inside soars, while together, they discover the human heart’s amazing capacity to heal...and love.


     Holly’s First Noel is a funny, quirky and romantic short story from Entangled Publishing. Holly has everything prepared for the Christmas visit of her boyfriend’s (Jackson) family. Then just a week before Christmas, he broke up with her. With her heart broken, a sudden unexpected invite to a holiday vacation to Scotland by a widowed fellow teacher, Noel, sounds a great idea...who knows something happened?

     This is a good read especially when you’re at home and just chillin’ and feeling the holiday festivities. The story’s nice and yeah.. romantic. :)
