Welcme back to the beautiful Scottish Highlands for Margaret Amatt’s<\/b>\u00a0sixteenth in her Glenbriar\u00a0 Series:Christmas Wishes at the Station Bookshop. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>This latest novel was published on 14th November by Leannan Press.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
After one toxic relationship too many and more failed jobs
\nthan she can count, spirited Scarlett Finch has lost her sparkle and doesn\u2019t
\nthink she can face this year\u2019s festive season. The last thing she expects is to
\nland a Christmas job at Glenbriar\u2019s Little Station Bookshop, especially not
\nthanks to a slightly unhinged older woman with a parrot, a pug, a wild
\nimagination, and some crackpot ideas for displays \u2013 not to mention a flair for
\nmaking unexpected decisions, like hiring Scarlett without telling the owner.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Widowed dad-of-three Lloyd Miller is just trying to keep
\nlife on track. Between moving house, juggling his day job, and preparing to
\ntake over the bookshop from his retired mum, the chaos inside the shop is the
\nlast thing he needs, particularly when it includes Scarlett, the woman he
\nshared a no-strings summer fling with\u2026 and hasn\u2019t stopped thinking about since.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Glenbriar twinkles with Christmas lights, both
\nScarlett and Lloyd are haunted by their pasts, drawn together in their present,
\nand uncertain of their future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A bookshop full of anonymous wishes might just give them the
\ncourage to make their own \u2013 but with neither convinced they deserve a second
\nchance, it\u2019ll take more than festive magic to open the book on a new romance.
\nThey can\u2019t change the past \u2013 but they can still choose how the story goes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>My Thoughts<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

We continue Scarlett’s story in this latest of the Glenbriar series and find out what happens in her life after she has returned from the coach trip which was the subject of Book 15. It seems that circumstances have come together to bring someone back into her life in a surprising way. Scarlett is ready for a change in her lifestyle and looking for a new direction. It feels almost magical how Scarlett finds herself in the Station Bookshop and its wishing tree seems to have a way of making wishes come true. The bookshop is quirky and different and seems to be a good match for Scarlett herself.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Lloyd Miller is the owner of the Bookshop who has a lot on his plate. Widowed, with two young children, he is struggling to create a stable environment for them and to settle them into life in Glenbriar. It does not all go smoothly but he keeps trying and struggles to put his own needs before the children’s. There are some entertaining characters who are connected with the shop and a good variety of customers. As the snow falls, the Christmas season adds a sparkle to the story and makes for an enjoyable festive read.<\/span><\/p>\n

In short: second chances and new starts\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

About the Author<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Margaret Amatt<\/b> is a bestselling Scottish author,
\nprofessional daydreamer, and certified chocolate addict. She\u2019s been making up
\nstories for as long as she can remember \u2013 some of them even made it onto paper
\n(and, tragically, onto floppy disks that no computer can read anymore). After
\ntwo decades of writing in secret, she finally unleashed her first novel on the
\nworld in 2021, kicking off a ten-book series set on the stunning Isle of Mull.<\/span><\/p>\n

But why stop there? She\u2019s also the creator of The Glenbriar
\nSeries, where romance, small-town drama, and a pinch of spice keep readers
\ncoming back for more. This series is still going strong, with more books
\nplanned!<\/span><\/p>\n

Margaret has spent her whole life in Scotland\u2019s
\nbreath-taking Highland Perthshire, despite her entire extended family coming
\nfrom the Glasgow area. Her books are romantic and emotional, sweet and funny,
\nand each one can be read as a standalone, but long-time readers know the joy of
\nfamiliar faces popping up, adding to the chaos.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, if you love relatable characters, sizzling chemistry,
\nand plenty of banter, you\u2019re in the right place \u2013 just don\u2019t blame Margaret
\nwhen you stay up way too late reading just one more chapter.<\/span><\/p>\n
