A CHRISTMAS ROMANCE IN THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS
MY THOUGHTS:
Ella doesn’t seem to have time for Christmas this year. She is swamped running a cleaning business that is owned by her step-monster. She recently lost her father and now she feels obligated to participate in the local festive pantomime. She doesn’t feel like Cinderella until she meets handsome, Alexander who plays the part of Prince Charming. Alex wants nothing to do with Ella and just wants to get through the festivities and get them over with. But the spirit of Christmas and the magical snowfall, begins to melt his heart. When they share a kiss on stage, Ella wonders if it is just the play or were there real feelings behind that wonderful kiss. Could Alex be her real-life Prince Charming or is this just another Christmas she is ready to put behind her?
A Christmas Romance in the Scottish Highlands, written by author Donna Ashcroft is a wonderful story full of Christmas magic. I love the Scottish Highlands, and a Christmas story set in the highlands is exactly the escape I needed. Ashcroft is so talented at describing the highlands perfectly making the reader feel like they are in the snowy town. I was completely pulled in to this story from the first page to the last. I actually liked Ella and Alex in the story and they made it feel like a real life Cinderella fairytale. I loved this book and I highly recommend this wonderful festive read.

Watch the snowflakes fall and take a magical carriage ride to watch the panto in the little town of Mistletoe, where Christmas wishes really do come true. Can Ella and her unlikely Prince Charming put aside their differences to live happily ever after?
Thirty-two-year-old Ella’s life is busy enough running her evil stepmother’s cleaning business, without adding Christmas into the mix. She doesn’t have time to play Cinderella in her local festive pantomime, but she recently lost her father, who loved the show and helped out every year, so she finds herself being fitted for glass slippers anyway. Her life may be falling apart, but she won’t let his memory down.
Then Ella meets brooding and handsome stranger, Alexander, who is playing Prince Charming, and her heart skips a beat. Might this knight-in-shining-armour inspire Mistletoe’s best show yet? But Alexander quickly makes it clear that he doesn’t want anything to do with her or their town’s traditions. And as the night of the show draws near, it’s one disaster after another, with the ugly stepbrothers falling suspiciously ill, and Alexander rolling his eyes at every chance he gets. Ella is exhausted and can’t help but feel she’s letting everyone – including her father – down.
But when an on-stage kiss gets a little too heated between Ella and Alexander, she’s surprised when he offers his muscled shoulder to lean on. Under the spotlight, Alex’s gentle encouragement of the child performers and his adorable pre-show nerves make Ella wonder if there may be more to her prince than she thought. As props go missing and scenery falls flat, can Ella and Alex bring the town to together for one last showstopper? And as the curtain falls on the performance of her life, will Ella find her fairytale ending?
