Bella and Jack were a cuteness of 5ft nothing and 6ft something, who, after a chance meeting at a wedding Bella should never have been at, didn’t find each other again for more than a year.
The story was full of charm, Christmas and contentment, feisty old folk, and wayward sisters. I adore a small English village setting and Haileyfield delivered in spades. My only gripe is that it ended way too soon. I need more of Jack and Bella’s story. What happened next? Did they settle down to enjoy the quintessential English country life together, marriage, kids, dog? I need to know more, please Claire!
Thank you to Claire and Rachel’s Random Resources for the opportunity to read and review Bella’s Countryside Christmas by Claire Huston.
About the Book
Fleeing her heartache and horrendous job, Bella stumbles upon a December wedding in the beautiful village of Haileybrook and the spirit of the season moves her to act as a fake date to handsome stranger Jack.
Jack and Bella hit it off, but Bella has to leave in a hurry and their magical evening soon becomes nothing more than a blissful memory.
A year later, Bella is returning to Haileybrook, seeking a fresh start and a quieter life. With a new job close to her cosy cottage home, a peaceful Christmas is surely only days away.
But it’s not long before family surprises, small-town feuds and romantic drama disrupt Bella’s plans, and she has to wonder if being alone is what she really wants for Christmas.
