Juliet Bell has travelled home to Mistletoe Row to be with her family for Christmas and because she has been made redundant from her job, which came with her flat and she now needs somewhere to live.

Upon returning to where she grew up she discovers that Harrison Bow has returned to the little village too. She hasn’t seen, nor spoken to Harrison for twenty years after her family lost their home to his uncle and she blamed Harrison for informing his uncle about the families financial troubles.

Turns out that Juliet has not quite got the facts right and that maybe it is time for forgiveness. However, is Harrison ready to forgive Juliet for breaking his heart?

Bells and Bows on Mistletoe Row is a festive, romantic story of two people who were madly in love being separated by a misunderstanding. Twenty years have gone by and Harrison swore he would never return to the village but he broke his promise for his brother Luke. He’s not just here for all play though, he is working and brought his assistant Kiki with him.

Books nearly always have at least one character you love to hate and Kiki was definitely that character in this one. God, she was a stuck-up, self-righteous woman who thought she was gorgeous and could get any man she wanted and was happy to trample on others to get there. Why Harrison had her as his assistant I’ll never know.

The plot was a little predictable and I knew what was going to happen between Harrison and Juliet well before it did. I also knew there was going to be a few hiccups along the way. However, this did not take away my enjoyment of the story. In fact, it heightened it as I was waiting for the moments to occur.

This is a beautiful romantic book that will make you feel jolly and in the Christmas spirit. I found it hard to put down, so much so that I read it on one sitting.
