Goodreads synopsis:
Fans of Milly Johnson and Phillipa Ashley, the Cosy Kettle café is waiting for you to find a comfy spot by the fire and snuggle up with a steaming mug of hot chocolate. Amidst the twinkling lights and falling snowflakes, Becca has a wish to make this Christmas…
Running from heartbreak, twenty-five-year-old Becca has moved to the cosy village of Honeyford. Living with her best friend Zac in a little stone cottage, and serving mince pies and steaming gingerbread lattes at the Cosy Kettle, is the perfect escape from her past.
But starting over isn’t always plain sailing, and Becca’s shyness is holding her back from making her mark on the café. To make matters worse, her crush on blond-haired, blue-eyed local heartthrob Logan gets stronger by the day – but he can barely remember her name. So as the snow starts to fall in Honeyford, Becca has one big Christmas wish: to completely reinvent herself. Becca dreams of bringing the Cosy Kettle success and finding romance with Logan under the mistletoe.
As she gets a makeover, cosies up to Logan over mulled wine and plans the most festive celebration the café has ever seen, Becca wonders why she waited so long to step out of her comfort zone… Zac, on the other hand, thought she was perfect before – always caring for others – and he misses the quirky girl with the bright blue hair.
When Logan turns out to not be all he seems, Becca is left wondering if he’s really the one for her. With her party plans also going awry, can Becca save her beloved Cosy Kettle in time for Christmas? And has the key to her happiness been in front of her all along?

This is the third book in the Cozy Kettle series by Liz Eeles.
This is my third trip into Honeyford and I have to say that it is good to be back! A lot of the Cozy Kettle gang is back. The book club patrons make a pretty big splash in this one. This book centers around Becca. She runs the Cozy Kettle Cafe and she has spent the last few books struggling with her confidence. Her shy nature causes her to have no boundaries. She can’t say no. And this causes others to take advantage of her. When she makes the decision to improve herself after a few missteps at work, the book club patrons are all in on the transformation. Becca feels redeemed when she scores a party for the hunky Logan using the Cozy Kettle as a venue. Logan gives the term delegation a whole new meaning when he makes Becca in charge of it all.
As you can probably imagine, not all goes as planned in this little book. Becca works and works to make this party perfect, to make herself perfect for Logan and then everything changes… including her heart.
I am just in love with this series and so happy to see yet another book featuring some of my favorite characters in fiction. I would like to see the characters featured in the first two books play a bit bigger role but I am fine with how it all washed out in the end. Becca learned that just being yourself is the best thing to be.
Cute love story. If you like your romance and contemporary stories with a hometown feel, this book is for you.
I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title.
