The Holiday Plan - Book Review

The Holiday Plan by Emma Lynden

Verona Scott, a romance author is done with Valentines Day after a very embarrassing moment and bad break up. This year things will be different because she is taking herself on a vacation to Courtington Castle Hotel for some rest and a quiet place to get her writing back on track. When Verona arrives at the hotel, she is dumbstruck. It is Valentines Day on overdrive with flowers and balloons everywhere she looks. On top of it all is a Love retreat led by a psychotherapist turned motivational speaker, Troy Turner. Grace has one foot out the door but can not resist the perks if she stays that the hotel will give her. Now all she must do is steer clear of Mr. Romance and his retreat. Should be easy right?

Emma Lynden writes a refreshing twist on a fairy-tale romance set in a castle, and I loved it. We have a sassy, hurt, down on love female lead, a perky male who is all about love and romance, and a sweet little girl whom you just can not resist. The story flows effortlessly and the romance blossoms slowly which I love in a book. My thanks to Harpeth Road Press for an advanced readers copy in exchange for my unbiased opinion. I would also like to thank Emma Lynden for an excellent enjoyable five star read. 

Growing up, you would've been hard-pressed to spot Emma Lynden without her nose in a book, drawn towards uplifting fiction full of hope and heart, and always imagining stories of her own. Looking back, it was no coincidence that so many heroines in those childhood favorites were aspiring authors. It was then that her someday dream of becoming a writer first took root.

But it wasn't until years later, when a close friend chanced to remark, "I bet you could write a really nice romance", that those long-tucked-away dreams finally found the direction they'd been destined for. After a stretch of late nights, a whole lot of scribbling, and the spark of a holiday surprise, she penned The End on her debut novel... and so this adventure began.

When she's not clicking away at her keyboard, spinning heartwarming stories about family, friendship, and finding true love, you can usually catch Emma soaking up the sunshine (or snowfalls) outdoors, capturing the beauty of everyday life behind her camera lens, or cozily curled up with her first passion - reading - a hot mug of something sweet in one hand and the promise of a happily-ever-after in the other.

Thank you so much for stopping by the farmhouse. Lynn
