A review by melindamoor
The Little Village Christmas by Sue Moorcroft
3.0
Arc received from the Publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
3.75 stars
This has been my first book by author [a:Sue Moorcroft|862993|Sue Moorcroft|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1430833288p2/862993.jpg] and I found it very enjoyable.
It offers readers a valid, realistic, but positive storyline without dumping too much sugar on us.
The main characters, Alexia and Ben are solid, likeable characters with good/bad traits and you can relate to them easily.
What's more, contrary to the overused romantic tropes, they actually talk to each other and try to sort things out after the first misunderstanding or so and just I cannot tell you, how refreshing that is.
The motley crew of support characters is another strong point and I very much loved the "makeover" part of the book where the community join forces to renovate the dilapidated Victorian public house especially after the money set aside for this is stolen by conmen.
The story starts is more about events leading up to/culminating at Christmas than Christmas itself, but this is a minor issue. Loads of angelcakes/mince pies are eaten to honour the holidays. :)
