Christmas At Polkerran Point by Cass Grafton

Fate may have brought them together, but secrets seem destined to keep them apart...

An accident and a lost passport mean Gemma's six-month sabbatical to go travelling is not off to a strong start. She heads to Polkerran Point to stay at her aunt’s while her new passport is processed and to find temporary work in the meantime.

Enter musician Matt. Newly moved into a secluded, renovated mill – complete with a recording studio – Matt is preparing for his band’s big reunion tour. Focused on writing new music for the album, he needs a live-in housekeeper.

Even as sparks fly, Gemma can sense Matt's keeping secrets and with her role ending once Christmas is over, will there be anything to keep her in Polkerran?

I really enjoyed this read! At first when I realised that it wasn't focused more on our usual characters from Polkerran Point I was a bit worried but I had no need to be!! I instantly liked Gemma and felt really sorry for her that she had lost everything whilst travelling. To be honest, I don't know how she would have coped all winter with her aunt!

I liked the instant dislike of Matt who seemed oblivious to everything around him most of the time! You could however, see that there were things that were bothering him and things that he was hiding so this intrugued me and I wanted to find out more. I liked the relationship that developed between Gemma and Matt and it did make me laugh at times, especially with Gemma's running commentary to herself that was out loud!

I was please that Anna and Oliver featured within the book as I really do like Anna's character, and I was glad that Anna's kitchen was still full at times with all of her usual visitors to make me laugh! I also liked that their wedding was featured within the Christmas special and there was some surprises within that too!

It was really well written and I loved how it all came together at the end. A really lovely cosy read! I am hoping that we get another book as I do like the characters and have grown fond of them.
