We are returning to the beautiful Scottish Highlands for Margaret Amatt’s<\/b> eleventh in her Glenbriar\u00a0 Series, Mix-Up Under the Mistletoe. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>This latest festive novel was published on 23rd November by Leannan Press<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
She\u2019s always on the outside looking in, but his door might
\njust be the one to open for her this Christmas.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Her name\u2019s Tilly. Tilly Thorpe. She lives in London.\u2019<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To stop his family from speculating about his love life,
\ntravel company CEO Rafe Harrington casually drops Tilly Thorpe\u2019s name as his
\ngirlfriend. After all, they\u2019ll never meet \u2013 she\u2019s just a name he saw on a rival
\ncompany\u2019s website.
<\/span><\/p>\n

But when Rafe arrives at his family\u2019s home in Glenbriar for
\nChristmas, he\u2019s shocked to find \u2018his girlfriend\u2019 waiting for him.<\/span><\/p>\n

He has some explaining to do and so does Tilly.
<\/span><\/p>\n

Why did Rafe\u2019s family welcome her with open arms when she\u2019s
\nlittle more than a spy? Someone who\u2019s trying hard to please her superiors,
\nhoping it\u2019ll bring some desperately desired happiness to her lonely existence.
<\/span><\/p>\n

Rafe isn\u2019t a big fan of the festive season, but neither he
\nnor Tilly can ignore their instant spark. With bad weather forecast, now is the
\nideal moment to discover some magic. Tilly\u2019s never felt this at home anywhere,
\nbut none of it\u2019s real, and that\u2019s not why she\u2019s here.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n

With time running short, can they seize this unexpected
\nchance to fall in love not only with Christmas but also with each other?<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

I loved this festive novel, the eleventh in the Glenbriar series. As usual, there was a link to previous characters but with new central characters and their own story. It works perfectly as a standalone read. Both the central characters are thoroughly likeable but rather lonely and looking for something more. There is a feeling of fate bringing them together which some of Rafe’s family seems to recognise.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Christmas at Rafe’s parents’ home in Glenbriar is a totally family affair but they are welcoming to new people. Tilly has had a troubled childhood and yearned for this type of family. She has always looked into others’ houses and wished that she could belong somewhere. Rafe and Tilly’s background could not be more different. This has resulted in Rafe’s basic feeling of self-confidence and Tilly’s desire to fit in and please other people.\u00a0 As the Christmas season plays out, they find there is a real connection between them. In many ways it is a question of opposites attract.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0 This series shows no sense of slowing up and is as enjoyable as ever. With all the festive touches, it proved a gorgeous pre- Christmas read.<\/span><\/p>\n

In short: <\/i>new starts and a new sense of belonging

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

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

<\/p>\n

Margaret<\/b> is a bestselling Scottish author and chocolate
\nlover who has been writing stories for over twenty years (possibly more if you
\ncount her primary school efforts). Her early works will never see the light of
\nday and are locked in dusty vaults on some old floppy disks. But after all
\nthose years of practise, Margaret released her first novel in 2021. It was the
\nfirst of a ten-book series set on the gorgeous Scottish Isle of Mull.<\/span><\/p>\n

Margaret is also the author of the acclaimed Glenbriar
\nSeries<\/i>, based in the fictional Scottish town of Glenbriar. This is an ongoing
\nseries with more books coming in 2024 and 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

The stories are unashamedly romantic, but with lots of drama
\nand an eclectic mix of characters. Each book can be read as a standalone, but followers of the
\nseries will enjoy catching up with the characters.<\/span><\/p>\n
