As the weather changes and the temperatures dip, we start to move away from Autumn and turn towards Winter. Grant it, it's not changing where I'm at to even really feel like Fall at the moment, but eventually, and I've got an active imagination, so pretending is always an option. 😉 Anywho, I'm in a winter frame of mind to celebrate the ebook on deck today, visiting via Rachel's Random Resources. It's a Contemporary Fiction with a healthy dash of Romance that asks the question WHAT IF with VERY nice results. Curious? Let's explore between the pages of today's title...
Winter Kisses at Roseford Café

About the book...
Hollywood comes to Roseford, as Christmas wishes really do come true…
The sleepy Somerset village of Roseford is the temporary home for the cast and crew of the latest Christmas movie, and there’s an excitement in the air that can’t be ignored. When Lucy Cameron, the owner of Roseford Café, is asked to fulfil a last-minute catering order on set, she can’t believe her luck.
Lucy’s erstwhile teenage crush, Finn Sanderson, is the star of the film, alongside his glamorous co-star, Montana de Santo, with whom he has been linked on and off the screen, and their sprinkle of stardust around the village is intoxicating.
With Christmas approaching and the snow starting to fall, Lucy’s path keeps crossing with Finn’s, and she starts to get to know the man behind the movie star. As her feelings grow, so too do Lucy’s reservations about even considering becoming involved with someone so well-known. And when Lucy becomes the centre of a social media storm, her fears seem to be justified.
Are happy-ever-afters just the preserve of romantic Christmas movies, or could Lucy and Finn star in their very own, real-life festive love story…
Revel in the perfect country Christmas romance from Fay Keenan, just right for all fans of Julie Houston, Cathy Bramley and Holly Martin.

Definitely no false advertising here...it WAS a great Christmas romance!
Go ahead. Admit it. At some point in you life, you had a celebrity crush. Most fade with time, but how often do you actually get the chance to turn them from fond daydreams into reality? Our leading lady, Lucy, gets to realize that dream, and yet not simply as a wish fulfilled from once upon a time, but as an even better version because it's REAL. Finn was the object of her desires, and had a stroke of luck getting into the business he's in, but fame can get old, especially when everyone thinks they know you because they've seen your work. This Christmas, even the star of the show gets a special wish...to finally be seen for who he is beyond the movie star status. Now don't get me wrong, there are awkward meet cute moments, and a few times of utter embarrassment as well, but all's well that ends well, right?
*fingers crossed*
One of my favorite parts, occurs closer to the end, when characters are facing their fears, and you're on pins and needles to see if they can make it through...of course the surprise moment there was a fab fit as well, but something about showing the other person that they matter most, just gets me right there. 💓 Definitely a potential couple worth taking a chance on this reading season, or any time you're in the mood for a little celebrity and everyday Jane sort of romance. It felt real enough with the complications that cropped up along the way, but despite the good reasons behind staying apart, you won't be able to help rooting for them to make it back together again.
