Christmas at Embthwaite Farm

The Mowbray Sisters, Book 2

By: Kate Hewitt

Narrated by: Oliver Hembrough, Justine Eyre

Welcome to Embthwaite Farm, a charming English home in North Yorkshire belonging to the fractured Mowbray family…

With older sister Rachel home to help run the family farm and navigate their father's terminal illness, Harriet Mowbray feels untethered, yet surprisingly free. She wants to embrace her future but continually trips over the insecurities and hurts from her fraught family relationships. When a mysterious millionaire purchases a derelict manor home to renovate into a hotel set to open before Christmas, Harriet pushes herself out of her comfort zone. She approaches the owner to become a client for her fledging bakery business.

Former gaming entrepreneur Quinn Tyler has sunk everything into this new venture, and Harriet finds him utterly unexpected. Confident, impulsive, and fun, he sweeps Harriet off her feet, and their friendship blossoms to Harriet's surprise and delight. As they work together on the hotel's finishing touches, Harriet and Quinn battle their insecurities and demons and make surprising revelations as they build their fledgling relationship.

As Christmas looms, will they have the strength of conviction to fight for the hotel—and their newfound love?

Cute Story - Bad Male Reader

This is another super-cute title by Kate Hewitt, and I enjoyed Harriet’s story more than Rachel’s. Highly recommend!
BUT I hated the male reader, he made Harriet sound so whiny and teenager-ish.
Also it really makes the story chopped up to be jumping back and forth all the time.
Plus he sounded fairly…gay, which doesn’t exactly make the male romantic hero sound very attractive to women listeners.

Would have cut the male reader altogether.

Great story

I don’t often give positive reviews but this book is so sweet I had to share another great book from this author. I liked this story more than the first one in the series.
