It's a time for getting cozy in front of whisky barrel wood fires and enjoying a dram and a treacle pudding with the people you love - unless, of course, you've accidentally gotten pregnant by your ex-boss and don't know how to tell him. In the season for peace and good cheer, will Flora find the nerve to reveal the truth to her nearest and dearest? Will her erstwhile co-parent, Joel, think she’s the bearer of glad tidings - or is this Christmas going to be as bleak as the Highlands in midwinter?

Publisher's Summary
Penny Meadows loves her home - a cozy cottage decorated with pretty twinkling fairy lights and stunning views over the town of White Cliff Bay. She also loves her job as an ice-carver, creating breathtaking sculptures. Yet her personal life seems frozen.
When Henry and daughter Daisy arrive at the cottage to rent the annex, Penny is determined to make them feel welcome. But while Daisy is friendly, Henry seems guarded.
As Penny gets to know Henry, she realizes there is more to him than meets the eye. And the connection between them is too strong to ignore.
While the spirit of the season sprinkles its magic over the seaside town and preparations for the ice sculpting competition and Christmas Eve ball are in full swing, can Penny melt the ice and allow love into her heart? And will this finally be the perfect Christmas she's been dreaming of?
Like a creamy hot chocolate with marshmallows, you won't want to put this deliciously heartwarming novel down.

Laugh until you cry
At first, I didn't think much of the story with the scene when they met. Then, spilling all the sordid bits of their life story within hours of meeting. It is as much a story of a nice, gossipy small town that pulls together when it needs to. there were a couple of howlingly funny scenes where I laughed until I nearly cried: penny explaining the sex noises from her room to 16 year old Daisy, trying to have sex in the car, and the crime report for the town. Penny also did a great job in telling Daisy why not to rush into sex, but also providing her with condoms.

Meh ..
Well, if you are looking for a book that has a ton of Christmas in it and nothing else I think you will like this book, the main reason I didn't like this book as much as I wanted is that it was unnecessarily long, I was bored from half of it when Penny already got together with Henry .. but the story kept dragging and so many things happened that I really didn't care for .. so yeah it was an ok book for Christmas
The narration was ok .. she could've been better but I had no major complaints about her

Not a Christmas story . . .
The only thing that makes CHRISTMAS AT LILAC COTTAGE a Christmas story is that it was set during the Christmas season. Otherwise it's a romance. I typically do not read this type of book, but was desperate for some Christmas spirit. I was sad it didn't help with my lack of festivity and excitement about the holiday. It was an okay story. I found that I have thought about the storyline a few times since I read it a few months ago, so maybe it was better than I first believed??? Anyhow-- the bottom line is:
-Romance
-Slow
-Performed better than written
-Edited very well
-NOT a Christmas story

A slow start but delicately funny. I liked the constant twists and guessing. Holly writes with great description that it plays wonderfully on the brain with my imagination. It's a story to relate to with messages so real. I loved it.

Weak
What would have made Christmas at Lilac Cottage better?
A strong story & less repetitive writing style. The characters were weak & very irritating. It's a shame because the setting was magical and the general idea was good but just not what I was expecting.
Would you ever listen to anything by Holly Martin again?
No
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Terrible accents in places & the voices of the characters were generally weak. Sorry but I just didn't enjoy the narrator.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment.

Awful narration ruins a passable story
Didn't get to finish as the narration was annoying, the accents were terrible and were not consistent to the characters.
Story predictable .

Lovely story
Loved the story but hated the narration. Ended up reading the, book instead of listening. For some unknown reason the narrator changed the accent of the hero and his daughter after a few chapter's when the became Cockney geezers. This wasn't evident in the book which makes me wonder why she did it?

Good story but a slow start
Took a while to get into it but thoroughly enjoyed it by the end

Easy listening
Predictable chick lit, easy listening for the festive period. Love something to listen to while getting jobs done or going to sleep and it's perfect for dipping in and out of.

it was a nice little story but a bit predictable. I would not read it again
