Did Not Finish Christmas under a Cranberry Sky (Juniper Island book 1) by Holly Martin.
If I am to rate this book, the few chapters that I have covered will have earned themselves a 4-star rating.
Christmas under a Cranberry Sky starts out remarkably well with an intense cozy feeling of Christmas in the air. The author brings out the festive mood really well by her association of all things Christmassy. There is mention of stone cottages, stone fireplaces, log cabins, log fires, real Christmas trees, mulled wine, pine cones, Christmas market and even tiny snowflakes dancing in the air.
The story is set in Stardust Lake Hotel, a winter resort on Juniper Island, the most northern island of the Scottish Isles. This hotel seems to be the perfect place to spend Christmas in with gorgeous Christmas trees bedecked in large gold ribbons, tiny fairy lights and red glass baubles. In short, the story setting is filled with Christmas spirit and the festive holiday feel.
However, as the story progresses, it slowly turns from a Christmas-themed story to one of long-lost romance. As it is, my patience for romance novel runs pretty short these days, especially for lengthy ones. So, with the change in tune, I decide to move on to my next Christmas story.
