Summary

For Bo Grayson, Christmas has always been the most wonderful time of the year. Well, until she had her heart broken last December…

When Bo Grayson and her friends meet a mysterious fortune teller, she gives each woman the same prediction: You will meet the love of your life by Christmas Day.

But Bo quickly dismisses this as nonsense. And with the festive season in full swing, she has plenty to keep her busy: creating the seasonal menu for her Boatyard Café, getting her rock and roll dance group ready for their Christmas show – and avoiding thinking about last December, when her fortune took a turn for the worse…

Besides, she definitely isn’t ready to open her heart again. But will fate – and perhaps a sprinkle of Christmas magic – change her mind?

Pour yourself a mug of hot chocolate and settle down in front of the fire with this perfect, uplifting Christmas read! Perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan and Heidi Swain.

What an amazing book

Loved this book from start to end, Bo was a great character in an endless Cornish summer and thoroughly deserved her own book. It was great from beginning to end and all the character were great. I would thoroughly recommend this book

Wonderful rock n’roll start to the festive season

Another excellent read (or in my case listen) from Phillipa Ashley and such a lovely way to kick off the festive season. Once again, she manages to fill her pages with great characters, wonderful locations, and a little bit of Christmas magic along the way. The backdrop of Rock n’Roll, with the snippets of its history and tunes I remember from my childhood had me tapping my toes with Bo and the Flingers, and had me turning to my Spotify account to listen to them again. As always, Phillipa makes sure your mind is full of the images she so cleverly describes - I’d forgotten camellias flower in winter! - and the wonderful outfits made me wish I was the right shape for dancing still.
Excellent narration from a new reader for me as well made this another splendid accompaniment to my daily dog walking.

Brilliant Festive read

As I live in Cornwall I love reading books set here. This is my first Phillipa Ashley book and I loved it. Will definitely be getting more. Emma Powell narrated the book brilliantly. I definitely recommend this audio book without a doubt.
