Like a creamy hot chocolate: decadent and heart-warming - a perfect escapist read
Holly lives in sunny Bedfordshire in a house with round windows. Having studied both media and teaching at university, Holly spent much of her working life teaching history - both in schools and around the country, leading workshops - before deciding to pursue novel-writing full-time. She was shortlisted twice for the New Talent Award at the Festival of Romance, and has won numerous other short story and romance writing competitions.
Lovely Christmas romance that draws you into Penny's world and has
you cheering for her all the way!

Christmas at Lilac Cottage is the perfect winter read. It's
everything you need in a Christmassy book and I suggest you make
yourself a big cup of hot chocolate when you start reading it. The
story of Penny and Henry is filled with humour, love and emotion. I
have thoroughly enjoyed it and was sad to leave them once I
finished the book. Holly is incredible at writing stories that read
fluent, and this one flowed so easy that I often wondered if I had
skipped a line. But it was just due to the fluent prose and well
written story

I honestly think that this story had the perfect ending and was

*Reviewed the Book*
A heartwarming Christmas love story. An enjoyable read to make you
feel good in the dark cold nights.It's a simple festive romance
that ticks all of the right boxes. There was drama, attraction, a
sprinkling of heartwarming do-gooders... Very enjoyable
*Brightly Shining Love*
Christmas at the Lilac Cottage is a lovely feel-good read just
right for the run up to Christmas - a season which forms the back
drop of the story, but doesn't over dominate. Even better, there's
a smashing recipe just asking to be baked at the end too. I'm
looking forward to reading much more from Holly Martin in the
future

many years to come

*Happily Ever After Novel Thoughts*
I truly loved this novel. It is a second - chance romance, it is
about overcoming issues, it is about trust and forgetting about the
past and looking into the bright future, and I loved how optimistic
it is and when I came to the end I really didn't want to part with
this lovely Island. Already looking forward to reading the second
book in the series, but in the meantime I highly recommend
"Christmas Under the Cranberry Sky" to you!

for blankets and fires to be essential and to have the perfect
excuse to read a perfect book. This book had me swooning, heart

Guys if you like Christmas, if you love romance, and it you are
after something cute and will give you all the feels. Then this is
the book for you.'

If a cuddly blanket could be book shaped then Christmas Under a

of romance and family drama, which blend together to make the
perfect fit for a delightful Christmas read
*Jaffa Reads Too*
This is sparkly and Christmassy from the cover down to the
characters. A gorgeous read of second chances and new beginnings.
All set in a idyllic location. This really swept me away and you
can't help but feel excited for all things festive. What happens
when we listen to our heart and not our head and who risks getting
hurt ? I look forward to reading more of her books now I've
discovered how great a author she really is

Christmas Under a Cranberry Sky is the perfect little book to
snuggle up with over the festive season, it's a cute romance read
with of course, some drama thrown in because what's a Christmas
without a bit of drama?
*Be My Anchor*
The one novel I absolutely loved this year, was Christmas under a
Cranberry Sky by Holly Martin. I completely adored this book and
the storyline nestled within. Holly is such a master of words and
it was so incredibly easy to completely lose myself in Piper and
Gabe's world. Christmas under a Cranberry Sky will definitely be
added to my shelf of most favourite Christmas books. If you are
searching for a novel to get you in the festive spirt, look no
further - this one is perfect!
