Blog Tour: Snowflakes Over Moondance Cottage by Rosie Green*


'When Jess Rigby lost her dad, the family coped in different ways, alone in their grief. Now, her mum seems to be going off the rails and her sister, Isla, who moved to France, is now back and determined to get the old family home on the market. But the last thing Jess wants this Christmas is for renovations to start on the house. It's sure to stir up old memories she's desperate to forget. And to make things worse, Isla seems to have hired the most obnoxious builder in the world to do the work. Jess could ignore the fact that women seem to be putty in his hands. But what she finds harder to ignore is the frisson she gets every time she squeezes past him in the mess that is now their beloved family home! Soon, the house begins to give up its secrets, some of them shocking. Can the family finally start talking and find a way to move on from the past this Christmas?'


Now I want to start off by saying I did find this book hard to get into. This is not to say that I didn't like the book or enjoy it, but I personally found myself reading a few chapters and then leaving it.That is until I got to Chapter 20, where I found myself addicted.

So one of the first things I noticed when reading this book is that the main theme was family in my eyes. It did have all my favorites things about romance but I found that it was an underlying theme. It was enjoyable to read a book where family was front and center. 

Now Jess and Isla could not be more different, which is something that I can relate to personally, which made the book even more enjoyable. Not only that the Family Dynamic is interesting and intriguing the further you get into the book. This alone makes you keep turning the pages to find out more.


Let's tell you a little bit more about the Author Rosie Green, she has been scribbling stories since she was little. In the past they were rip roaring adventure tales with a young heroine in danger of being tide up by the 'baddies' or falling off a cliff. Nowadays Rosie much prefers to write romantic comedies that melt you heart, make you smile and not much danger involved- unless you count the heroine losing her heat in love. Her new series of novellas is centered around life in a village cafe, the latest is 'Bonfires & Hot Chocolate at the Little Duck Pond Cafe'. Keep an eye out for 'A Winter Wedding at the Little Duck Pond Cafe' coming Christmas 2019.

Overall I enjoyed this book, it was very well written and the fact that the romance wasn't the main theme was refreshing. I saw similarities between parts in the book and my own life, which made this book an even more interesting read. I highly recommend you check this book out and you can get your copy HERE.

Until Next Time
