About this listen
With her Beach Café closed for the winter, Evie should be looking forward to lazy days and a happy Christmas… But her sister Ruth is coming to stay, following her marriage breakdown and her boyfriend Ed breaks the news that he's going to spend Christmas in London, for family reasons. There are still a few surprises in store for Evie though, that look set to make this Beach Café Christmas the most memorable one yet....

A little short, but lovely.
I really enjoyed listening to this. This is the first audio book I've listened to after a failed attempt with another book. I hadn't factored how much the performance affects the book. The first one I listened to was awful and I couldn't get through it. However, Melody Grove brought this book to life without the need to give strange voices and accents to characters. They were perfectly performed and I enjoyed the book a lot.
I hadn't realised this was part of a series, so I'm a little disappointed that wasn't noted in the blurb - I've missed the first two books now and am never keen on going backwards. Having said that, I enjoyed the characters so much that I'm tempted to get to know them from the start.
The final thing to note is that the book was pretty short. It was going along at a lovely pace but then the ending felt very rushed. The book could have been much longer and kept at the same pace for my preference. These are minor niggles though, as it's a lovely, light book.

A sweet Christmas story
A lovely Christmas story to get you in the mood for Christmas. It reminded me of the Christmas movies on the TV.

Rather Shallow
Happy girly girly endings. Some good insights into the psyche along the way; but very much a chic book. Lacking depth & something to get your teeth into.

Good but one voice annoyed
Annoying child’s voice off putting. You don’t want to hear that constantly.
Good story and ending though

Just a shame it’s so short

Lovely short Christmas story
I haven't listened to any of the "Beach Cafe" books before this one and I loved it. A nice festive light read. I have listened to Lucy Diamond books before and they have been brilliant. The narrator was really good, which makes a massive difference.
I do recommend this book but as it's short I would not spend a credit on it. £3 is fine or free from the plus catalogue.
