Stella Christmas Wish The Perfect Christmas Treat edition by Kate Blackadder Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Stella's Christmas Wish was a wonderful Christmassy read. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, and I read it in about a day or two, which gives you an idea of how addictive it was (although, on second thoughts, I suppose I must have become addicted to the cozy atmosphere, because it certainly didn't read as a page-turner in the traditional sense of the word).
The story has been told many times before, but I still enjoyed it a girl comes back to her hometown and bumps into an old flame. Friction and/or tension ensues. Fireworks in the end (or not)? The problem with this formula is that it's not always well executed and sometimes all it does for you is make you see red at the mention of either the hero or the heroine's name. Not this time. Stella and Ross are both clueless, yes, but in a distinctly adorable way - and I loved how everyone in their lives rooted for them. It was so cute and heart-warming.
The resolution of the romantic conflict was surprising, and I definitely didn't see it coming. It did make me raise an eyebrow, though, and I couldn't help but think Really? Is THIS why you broke up all those aeons ago? But it was a pretty minor thing as far as I'm concerned, and it did surprise me, so I think it's fair to say that on balance, it was a satisfactory resolution.
Recommended (but you must like festive chick lit books! Duh).
With only two weeks until Christmas, I was in the mood for a 'feel-good' Christmas themed story. This book delivered my wish.
Stella grew up on the Scottish Borders in a tiny town called Melrose. Her parents were killed in a plane crash when she was small, so Stella and her younger sister, Maddie, were brought up by her paternal grandmother, Alice. Unlike her artistic sister and grandmother who still live in Scotland, Stella is the more level-headed of the three, and now works as an accountant in a busy London firm.
Just a week before Christmas she receives a telephone call saying that her dear grandmother Alice has had a nasty fall from a ladder and has been rushed to an Edinburgh hospital. Despite a looming work deadline, Stella drops everything and travels north.
With trepidation, both about her grandmother's condition, and the possibility of meeting up with her ex-fiance Ross, she finds herself back in the town of her youth. She and Ross broke up just about the time that Stella procured her job in London. Ross is now a successful restaurateur in Melrose. It was Stella's decision to sever her ties with Ross, and she never really explained to him why she did. Ross has never understood her move to London, and he has never gotten over her...
With her younger sister inexplicably in Australia, it is up to Stella to care for her grandmother. Stella is happy to be home again as living in London would never have been her choice. Her reasons for going were complicated...
Visiting Alice in the Edinburgh hospital brings back many fond memories for Stella of a time when she and Ross were still a couple, and very much in love.
The setting of this novel was a delight, and the characters endearing. I did want to shake a few of them quite a few times, only because they were putting themselves through unnecessary torment by keeping their secrets and their feelings to themselves... Misunderstandings abound.
The writing seemed a bit awkward at first, but smoothed out as the novel progressed. The reader wonders what could possibly have caused Stella to move to London and break-up with Ross. And why has Maddie traveled all the way across the world to Australia? She can't afford it, she didn't let Stella know she was going, AND she'll be there over Christmas!
Reading a book like this, well... you know that all the problems faced by the characters will eventually resolve themselves. Predictable, but then you know that going in. Christmas comes but once a year, we can predict that, but it doesn't make it any the less enjoyable.
This is a charming Christmas novel that will be appreciated by anyone who likes the work of Kate Hewitt or Rosamund Pilcher. A 'feel-good' love story set over the Christmas season, and a heart-warming testament to the importance of family.
Six days before Christmas Stella receives an urgent phone call. Alice, her grandmother, fell and hit her head. Stella rushes from London to her hometown Melrose in Scotland to be with her granny. While trying to spend as much time with her beloved grandmother in the hospital as she can Stella can't help being confronted with her past. There are things she'd rather forget, but those memories are strong. She's being forced to spend time with the last person she wants to see, her ex boyfriend Ross. She left him behind when she moved to London. Will their meetings be as painful as she fears?
Alice loves to take care of others. There's always someone who needs a roof over their head living in her home and Alice's generosity knows no bounds. Who will look after Alice's most recent guest? Stella's sister isn't in Scotland, she suddenly went abroad. Why did she go and what doesn't Stella know about her own family? Will she be able to unravel the family secrets even though she can't ask her grandmother? And will Alice be all right? Stella's plans for Christmas won't become reality this time, will the magic of Christmas pass her by this year?
Stella's Christmas Wish is a heartwarming Christmas story about family, true love and friendship. Stella is responsible, capable and practical. She's incredibly sweet and caring as well. She carries the weight of the world on her shoulders and doesn't know how to lift the burden. My heart ached for her as it's clear from the start something has made her very sad, but she's strong and will keep going no matter what, which is an admirable character trait. I love a good story about secrets and Kate Blackadder kept me on the edge of my seat. I read Stella's story in one sitting because I couldn't wait to find out what they were.
Kate Blackadder's writing has a lovely flow. Her vivid descriptions of Melrose made the town come to life really well. It was easy to picture Stella's friends and family. I love stories about close communities and Stella grew up among wonderful people. I enjoyed reading about every single one of them. Stella's Christmas Wish is a charming and sparkling Christmas story with a terrific moving and fabulously romantic ending.
This is a lovely story; a light, clean, heartwarming romance. Every character held my interest. I enjoyed Ms. Blackadder's writing very much and look forward to reading more.
