Love Is In The Air

Christmas At Cedarwood Lodge by Rebecca Raisin is a delightful contemporary novel about family, friends, fun, traditions and making memories. There is a wonderful light atmosphere that permeates the story, coupled with highly amusing moments. The reader is in for a few fun filled hours.

Escaping disaster and living the dream is the focus of the novel as an old lodge is renovated, restored and bought back to life. The restoration of the lodge is mirrored by the restoration of a character who has lived with one eye on the past and under the burden of guilt. As the lodge returns to life, can the same be said of the character?

Christmas is a magical time of year where old traditions come to the forefront and new memories are made.

Food is important. Characters bond over recipes as the reader’s mouth waters.

Love is in the air. Who will be attracted to who? Will there be wedding bells?

Parenting is important. There are those who give birth to us but real parenting is done by those who bring us up.

The burden of guilt cripples. It is time to forgive ourselves and live free.

Old friendship bonds reform much to the delight of the reader.

Christmas At Cedarwood Lodge is such a delightful, feel-good novel, just perfect for any time of year.

I received this book for free. A favourable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.
