Summary
Penny Meadows loves her home - a cozy cottage decorated with pretty twinkling fairy lights and stunning views over the town of White Cliff Bay. She also loves her job as an ice-carver, creating breathtaking sculptures. Yet her personal life seems frozen.
When Henry and daughter Daisy arrive at the cottage to rent the annex, Penny is determined to make them feel welcome. But while Daisy is friendly, Henry seems guarded.
As Penny gets to know Henry, she realizes there is more to him than meets the eye. And the connection between them is too strong to ignore.
While the spirit of the season sprinkles its magic over the seaside town and preparations for the ice sculpting competition and Christmas Eve ball are in full swing, can Penny melt the ice and allow love into her heart? And will this finally be the perfect Christmas she's been dreaming of?
Like a creamy hot chocolate with marshmallows, you won't want to put this deliciously heartwarming novel down.

Delightful
A slow start but delicately funny. I liked the constant twists and guessing. Holly writes with great description that it plays wonderfully on the brain with my imagination. It's a story to relate to with messages so real. I loved it.

Awful narration ruins a passable story
Didn't get to finish as the narration was annoying, the accents were terrible and were not consistent to the characters.
Story predictable .

Poor performance
The reader I feel did not convey the story in an interesting way with a monotone and uninspiring voice

Christmas at Lilac Cottage
What would have made Christmas at Lilac Cottage better?
A better narrator and less unnecessary use of the word 'clearly' . Clearly, clearly, clearly eventually I would groan whenever the word came up.
If you’ve listened to books by Holly Martin before, how does this one compare?
This is my first (and last) Holly Martin.
What didn’t you like about Emma Newman’s performance?
I thought the narration was really uninspiring and actually I got so tired of the word clearly and the tedious reading I changed book before the story finished.

Awful narration
The narrator was so awful it put me off finishing the book. This could have been a nice light chick lit but it felt juvenile because of the narrator.

I Loved this Book
I wasn't sure what to expect because it's the first book by Holly Martin that I've listened to.
I want disappointed at all.
It was a true romance that wasn't gushy. The plot wasn't complicated, it was just addictive to listen to.
I would definitely recommend it.

A Warming Romance
A nice gentle romance, perfect for a miserable Winter's day, in front of a nice toasty fire. A very nice read.
